After rising, confess Christ from divine excellence; under law as God

“And if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we no longer know him.” What then does Paul say? Does he deny Christ after the resurrection? Does he not know him raised in flesh and taken up with it into heaven? And who would dare to say that? For thus he also knows him taken up and going to come at the times in the way he has gone up into heaven. How then does he say he does not know Christ according to flesh? Because after the return to life from the dead, it is better to know and confess him not still from the flesh’s measures, but as from divine superiority. For while the economy was not yet fulfilled he was preached according to flesh, so that the Only-begotten might be believed to have become human; but since the mystery has been completed, it is better to confess him from what he is as God than from the having-been-emptied through the flesh. So there is one Christ and Son and Lord.

From Galatians. “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, become from a woman, become under law, so that he might buy out those under law, so that we might receive the adoption.” As God he became under law so that he might also become brother to those under law; for thus we have received the adoption.
