od, that he was placed in a cleft of the
rock, and saw His hinder side. It is enough to acknowledge God from
things finite, that is, created, in which He is infinitely.

"INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT"

We read in the Word that Jehovah God dwells in light inaccessible.
Who, then, could approach Him, unless He had come to dwell in
accessible light, that is, unless He had descended and assumed a
Humanity and in it had become the Light of the world? Who cannot see
that to approach Jehovah the Father in His light is as impossible as
to take the wings of the morning and to fly with them to the sun?

--_True Christian Religion, n._ 176

THE CHRIST-GOD

We ought to have faith in God the Saviour, Jesus Christ, because that
is faith in the visible God in Whom is the Invisible; and faith in the
visible God, Who is at once Man and God, enters into man. For while
faith is spiritual in essence it is natural in form, for everything
spiritual, in order to be anything with a man, is received by him in

Man's conjunction with the Lord is not with His supreme Divine Being
itself, but with His Divine Humanity, and by this with the supreme
Divine Being; for man can have no idea whatever of the supreme Divine
Being of the Lord, utterly transcending his thought as it does; but of
His Divine Human Being he can have an idea. Hence the Gospel according
to John says that no one has at any time seen God except the
only-begotten Son, and that there is no approach to the Father save by
Him. For the same reason He is called a Mediator.

GOD-MAN

In the Lord, God and Man are not two but one Person, yea, altogether
one, as soul and body are. This is plain in many of the Lord's own
utterances; as that the Father and He are one; that all things of the
Father are His, and all His the Father's; that He is in the Father,
and the Father in Him; that all things are given into His hand; that
He has all power; that whosoever believes in Him has eternal life;
that He is God of heaven and earth.

--_Doctrine Concerning the Lord, n._ 60

There is one God, and the Lord is He, His Divinity and Humanity being
one Person.

--_Divine Providence, n._ 122

They who think of the Lord's Humanity, and not at the same time of His
Divinity, by no means allow the expression "Divine Humanity"; for they
think of the Humanity by itself a
