When one declares an author to be dramatic, a compliment is intended. But when he is called theatric, censure is implied.

When Christ spoke of Himself as "I," the selfness implied by the pronoun must have had some kind of resemblance to our own; just as when He called God His Father He intended to convey something of what fatherhood meant for His then hearers.
