The Christian teaching is more sublime than any other because in Christ
the 
divine Logos became man.

Whoever does not know Christ does not know the will of God. Whoever 
despises and hates Christ obviously despises and hates him who sent him. 
And if a person does not believe in Christ, he does not believe in the 
words of the prophets, in which his joyful news was proclaimed to all men.

If you knew the words of the prophets, you would not be able to deny that 
Jesus is God, son of the one unbegotten and ineffable God.
