content_copy
| The Lord Jesus, in His human nature thus united to the divine, in the person of the Son, was sanctified and anointed with the Holy Spirit above measure,1 having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge;2 in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell,3 to the end that being holy, harmless, undefiled,4 and full of grace and truth,5 He might be throughly furnished to execute the office of mediator and surety;6 which office He took not upon himself, but was thereunto called by His Father;7 who also put all power and judgement in His hand, and gave Him commandment to execute the same.8 |
