Christian Dogma

Does the Father command us to heed the Son?

Q198 · The Holy Trinity

St. Cyril of Jerusalem says, “For the Father is indignant when the Only-begotten Son is ignored. For it is grievous to a king that merely his soldier should be dishonoured; and when one of his nobler officers or friends is dishonoured, then his anger is greatly increased: but if any should despise the king’s only-begotten son himself, who shall appease the father’s indignation on behalf of his only-begotten son?”406
