Every different christological predicate serves to make one and the same christological assertion. Common to all the predicates is that they designate a bearer who has a specific commission from God. And so they all perform the same task: to designate Jesus as the messenger or the mouth of God.
More formally, they function to designate Jesus as the decisive representation of the meaning of God for us-or, alternatively, as the explicit primal ontic source authorizing authentic existence.
