DLord 34 - By His Humanity, He Redeemed and Saved

DLord 34 [1-2, 3]

Now because the Lord by His suffering on the cross
completely glorified His humanity,
that is, united it to His Divinity
and so made His humanity Divine,
it follows that He is Jehovah and God in respect to both.
In many places in the Word, therefore,
He is called Jehovah, God, and the Holy One of Israel,
the Redeemer, Savior and Former . . .

Redemption and salvation, indeed,
are the unique attributes of His humanity
called merit and righteousness.
For it was His humanity
that underwent temptations or trials
and the suffering of the cross,
so that it is by His humanity
that He redeemed and saved.
