Salvation from the Jews via Abraham’s seed; Word sent humanly

…according to the Word’s nature alone. For how is salvation from the Jews? No one would say that he is from the Jews insofar as he is understood and exists as Word, but insofar as he has become brother to those in flesh and blood by taking hold of Abraham’s seed. So there is one Christ, even if he is said to be worshiped because of the human, though he is worshiped by all creation as God.

“A little while I am with you, and I go to the one who sent me.” Where is the Word of God not present, if he fills all things by the nature of the deity? How then is he sent by the Father? And how does he go to him? So he is sent in a human way, according to the manner and account of the sending, that he may proclaim release to captives and recovery of sight to the blind; yet he goes to the Father and God no longer in the same way, but as embodied, having gone up into heaven, that he may appear for us before the face of the Father, as it is written. And if “being sent” is also taken of the Word himself, let no one be harsh: for inspired Scripture is sometimes accustomed to use such voices too; and it does not drag the divine and supermundane nature under places and limits — for it knows that nature is bodiless and beyond boundaries and far from being thought of as in a place — but rather tries to make clear, by human voices, the things beyond our mind. Since the Savior himself also said he would send the Paraclete to us, though the Holy Spirit fills all things: “for the Spirit of the Lord,” it says, “has filled the inhabited world.”
