Jesus Christ came to men as their Master. He was acknowledged as such: "In the beginning was the Word and Word was made flesh and dwelt among us...full of grace and truth." The Church uses noble expressions to describe the Divine Master: "Splendor of peace, candor of eternal light, angel of great counsel, true light, eternal light, angel of great counsel, true light, eternal wisdom, Teacher of the apostles, Doctor of the evangelists, in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and knowledge of God, light of confessors....." all these re-echo the thirty-odd occasions in the Gospel on which Jesus is called Master, including the clear affirmation: "You call me Master and Lord, and rightly, because that is what I am."
