> For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

[John 5:26](http://blb.sc/008mmh), KJV

> What about you, soul? You were dead, you had lost life; listen to the Father through the Son. Arise, receive life, in order that the life which you do not have in yourself you may receive in the one who does have life in himself.

-- Augustine

That's an amazing statement of Christ's deity. Life in Himself, self-existant, before Abraham was, I AM.

Amen. The Father could not be the _eternal_ Father unless the Son is the _eternal_ Son.

As the fathers said, "there was not when the Son was not."

Yeah, I don’t want to get punched by St. Nicholas. 😉
