St. John writes:—
"ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM."
And Justin writes:—
"Knowing that God conceived and made the world by the Word." (Apol.
I. ch. lxiv.)
Again:—
"When at first He created and arranged all things by Him." (Apol.
II. ch. vi.)
Again St. John writes:—
"THAT (i.e. THE WORD) WAS THE TRUE LIGHT THAT LIGHTETH EVERY MAN
THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD."
I have given above (p. 51) sufficient illustrations from Justin of this truth. I again draw attention to:—
"He is the Word of Whom every race of men were partakers." (Apol. I.
ch. xlvi.)
