AC 2159 - ''Do not, I beg of you, pass from over your servant."

Do not, I beg of you, pass from over your servant.

AC 2159 [1-3]

That 'servant' means the Lord's human
before it was made Divine
becomes clear from many places in the Prophets.
The reason, which has been given frequently already,
is this:
The Lord's human,
before He cast it off and made it Divine,
was nothing else than a servant.
His human came from the mother
and was for that reason imperfect.
From her it possessed a hereditary element
which He overcame and utterly cast aside
by means of the conflicts
brought about by temptations.
He did so even to the point
when nothing was left
of the imperfect and hereditary element
received from the mother,
indeed until at length
nothing whatever from the mother remained.
He cast off
that which came from the mother so completely
that He was no longer her son,
as He also Himself declares in Mark,

They said to Jesus,
Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside,
asking for You.
And He answered them saying,
Who is My mother, or My brothers?
And looking around on those
who were sitting around Him
He said, Behold My mother and My brothers!
For whoever does the will of God
is My brother, and My sister, and My mother.
(Mark 3:32-35; Matt. 12:46-50; Luke 8:20-21)

Once He had cast off this human
He put on the Human Divine,
by virtue of which He called Himself the Son of Man,
as may be seen many times in the New Testament Word,
and also the Son of God.
By 'the Son of Man' He meant truth itself
and by 'the Son of God' good itself
which belonged to His Human Essence
once this had been made Divine.
The former state was that of the Lord's humiliation
but the latter that of His glorification . . ..

In the former state, namely the state of humiliation,
when He still had the imperfect human with Him,
He worshipped Jehovah as one other than Himself,
and was indeed like a servant,
for the imperfect human is by comparison nothing else.
