Day 13: Friday, March 20

You have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said I go to the Father, for My Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it has come to pass, you might believe. I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of this world comes, and has nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and even as the Father has commanded Me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence. John 14:28-31

By successive steps the Lord put off the human taken from the mother, and put on a Human from the Divine within Him, which is the Divine Human, and is the Son of God. That in the Lord were the Divine and the human, the Divine from Jehovah the Father, and the human from the virgin Mary, is known. Hence He was God and Man, having a Divine essence and a human nature; a Divine essence from the Father, and a human nature from the mother; and therefore was equal to the Father as to the Divine, and less than the Father as to the human…. The Divine assumed the Human, that is, united itself to it, as a soul to its body, so that they were not two, but one Person. From this it follows that the Lord put off the human from the mother, which in itself was like that of another man, and thus material, and put on a Human from the Father, which in itself was like His Divine, and thus substantial, so that the Human too became Divine. Doctrine of the Lord 35,1-2
