ABSTRACT

Christ was one with God, because, from his first appearance among men, he was felt by those who came most nearly into contact with him, he did what God was doing; and he did this, not instead of God, or apart from God; but with God, and in God, and as God. The meaning of Personality, in truth, has been the problem on which philosophy has subsisted from the very commencement. A livelihood is not a life; the isolated individual can gain the former; the latter can be attained only by union. The very constituents of Personality, emotions, desires and will, refuse to be confined within the limits of the individual; they must pass over into other personalities and influence and be influenced by them, or wither away into feebleness and death. “No man liveth to himself.”
