I feel that Selwyn is quite blunt (but necessarily so) when he says: ‘Let it be absolutely clear: there is no true and real knowledge of God except in and through the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ.’ The following excerps from John 10:7-11, “Jesus said again, ‘I am telling you the truth, I am [...]
Two of Selwyn’s sentences impressed me today: ‘A name in Scripture does more than identify someone; it tells of what kind of person they are – their character, their essential nature.’ and, ” God’s revelation of Himself through His names had limitations.

Jesus is God
I agree with Selwyn; ‘What a staggering thought it is that the carpenter of Nazareth is one with the Father - God in human form.’ It’s a great verse, ‘protect them by the power of your name – the name you gave me – so that they may be one as we are one.’ As Selwyn [...]
