DLORD 20, 21, 23 - The Son of God, the Son of Man

The Lord in respect to the Divine Human
is called the Son of God;
and in respect to the Word
the Son of Man.

DLORD 20

As by "the Son of God" is meant the Lord
as to the Human which He assumed in the world,
which is the Divine Human,
it is evident what is meant by
the Lord's so frequently saying
that He was sent by the Father into the world,
and that He came forth from the Father.
By His being sent by the Father into the world,
is meant that
He was conceived from Jehovah the Father.
That nothing else is meant by being sent,
and sent by the Father,
is evident from all the passages where it is said
that He did the will of the Father and His works,
which were that He conquered the hells,
glorified His Human, taught the Word,
and establishing a new church,
which could not have been done
except by means of a Human
conceived from Jehovah and born of a virgin,
that is, unless God had been made Man.

DLORD 21

Many people today think of the Lord
only as they do of an ordinary man,
one like themselves,
because they think only of His humanity
and not at the same time of His Divinity,
even though His Divinity and humanity
cannot be separated.
For the Lord is God and man,
and God and man in the Lord are not two,
but one person,
as completely one person
as soul and body are one person . . ..

DLORD 23

The Lord is called "the Son of man"
where the subject treated of is
His passion, Judgment, His advent, and, in general,
redemption, salvation, reformation, and regeneration.
The reason is that "the Son of man"
is the Lord in respect to the Word;
and as the Word
He suffered, judges, came into the world,
redeems, saves, reforms, and regenerates.
