DLORD 34, 34 - The Divine and the Human In the Lord

DLORD 34 [3]

. . . the Divine and the Human in the Lord
are one Person;
and that the Human also is Divine.
For the Redeemer and Savior of the world
is no other than the Lord
in respect to the Divine Human,
and this is what is called the Son.
Moreover redemption and salvation
are an attribute proper to His Human,
which is called merit and righteousness;
for it was His Human
that endured temptations
and the passion of the cross;
and therefore it was by means of His Human
that He effected redemption and salvation.

DLORD 35 [3]

As from His birth
the Lord had a human from the mother,
and as He by successive steps put it off,
it follows that while He was in the world
He had two states,
the one called the state of humiliation
or emptying out (exinanition*),
and the other the state of glorification or unition
with the Divine called the Father.
He was in the state of humiliation at the time
and in the degree
that He was in the human from the mother;
and in that of glorification
at the time and in the degree
that He was in the Human from the Father.
In the state of humiliation
He prayed to the Father
as to one who was other than Himself;
but in the state of glorification
He spoke with the Father as with Himself.
In this latter state He said
that the Father was in Him and He in the Father,
and that the Father and He were one.
But in the state of humiliation
He underwent temptations, and suffered the cross,
and prayed to the Father not to forsake Him.
For the Divine could not be tempted,
much less could it suffer the cross.
