As legislator, Jesus exercised the authority of God; his commands and decisions were supported by the Sovereignty of the eternal throne. The glory of the Father was revealed in the Son; Christ made manifest the character of the Father. He was so perfectly connected with God, so completely embraced in his encircling light, that he who had seen the Son, had seen the Father. His voice was as the voice of God. Mark Christ's prayer before his crucifixion: "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." Again he says, "I am in the Father, and the Father in me." "No man knoweth the Son but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him." "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father."

Som lovgiver udøvede Jesus Guds myndighed; hans bud og bestemmelser blev støttet af den evige trones overhøjhed. Faderens herlighed blev åbenbaret i Sønnen; Kristus åbenbarede Faderens karakter. Han var så fuldstændig knyttet til Gud, så fuldkommen omsluttet af hans lys, at den, der havde set Sønnen, havde set Faderen. Hans stemme var Guds stemme. Læg mærke til Kristi bøn før hans korsfæstelse: "Og nu, oh Fader, hellige du mig med dit eget selv, med den herlighed jeg havde med dig før denne verdens grundlæggelse." Og igen siger Han: "Jeg er i Faderen og Faderen er i mig." "Ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen og den, for hvem Faderen vil åbenbare ham." "Den, som har set mig har set Faderen." Joh 14,11; Matt 11,27; Joh 14,9.
