Quest. 2. Secondly, What was it for Jesus to come into the World?
Ans. 1. Not his coming in, or by his Spirit in his People; for so he was never out of the World. 2. Neither is it his Appearance in his Ordinances. 3. Nor that coming of his by which he destroyeth Antichrist. 4. Nor his Appearing in his dreadful Providences or Judgments.
But by the coming of Jesus, according to the Text, we are to understand that, or such a Coming, whereby he was manifest to be God-Man in one Person, God in our Flesh without us, or distinct in his own Person by himself; Such a Coming by which he was manifested to be in all points like as men are, Sin only excepted. Such a Coming, wherein, or by which, the Son of God became also the Son of Man.
