Episode notes
Miracles Show Communicated Authority
- Through the hypostatic union the human nature participates in divine acts so Jesus can perform miracles and forgive sins.
- These works testify to his divinity without implying the divine nature ceased to be divine.
Exaltation Activates Communicated Attributes
- Exaltation means the human nature now freely uses the communicated divine attributes, especially after resurrection and ascension.
- Passages about Christ 'receiving' authority refer to his human nature entering its exalted role in time.
Two Traditions Read Philippians Differently
- Lutherans and Reformed differ on whether incarnation itself is humiliation or if humiliation is the humble human life assumed.
- Lutherans emphasize intimate divine presence in creation; Reformed emphasize creator-creature distinction.
