Crucified Lord of glory; glory received humanly, held divinely

The blessed Paul says somewhere about the rulers of this age: “For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” So he knows that the one crucified is Lord of glory. How then does the Lord of glory receive glory from the Father? Or is it clear that the wording has again been made economically for him? For he receives humanly, yet even so is Lord of glory divinely; and the wealth of his divine nature would be seen by us in the advantages beyond creation, while the measure of our poverty is in being said to receive what he received even though, being rich, he became poor for us.

“The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.” The Son receives again as human, yet the Father does not again place himself outside having all things under himself. “God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself.” For the Son has become our mediator by becoming incarnate. “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may also glorify you.” It is necessary that the Son be glorified by the Father and witnessed also through the resurrection from the dead, that he is both consubstantial with him and life-giving and better than death.
