When we compare the words of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels with the words of Paul in his letters,
we see their different view-points. Paul entered
into speculations that were not attempted by
Jesus, because the theological aspect was pronounced in Paul.

it determined in a sense the type of his religion;
it made his language lyrical, in a marked contrast
to that of Jesus, who so steadfastly taught from a
Universal Truth; "I and my Father are one."

mysticism, his consciousness of the inner light, the
Christ spirit within; the reality to him of the invisible. These all constitute phases of religious
experience which are growing to be more widespread
