By Virtue of the Personal Union of Christ's Humane Nature with the Divine, there is a Communication of all that Glory from the Deity to Christ as his Humane Nature is capable of. Not that the Manhood of Christ is advanced to an Equality with the Godhead, but the Divine Nature being joined with the Humane, the Humane Nature is wonderfully Glorified, though not Deified. Christ as Mediator is filled with all Majesty and Honour, beyond the Comprehension of the highest Order of Angels: Descendit Christus quo inferius non decuit, ideo ascendit quo altius non potuit; Christ in his Humiliation descended so low, that it was not fit to go lower, and in his Exaltation he ascended so high, that it is not possible to go higher. In his Resurrection he was exalted above the Grave, in his Ascension he was exalted above the Aery and Starry Heaven, in his sitting at God's right Hand: he is exalted above the highest Heavens far, Eph. 4.10. Far above all heavens.
