Christ is true Man and true God: accord­ing to His human nature, He is now not on earth; but according to His Godhead, majesty, grace, and Spirit, He is at no time absent from us.

Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Matth. 28, 20.

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. Matth. 26, 11.

John 16, 28. Matth. 18, 20. Hebr. 8, 4. John 14, 18.

By no means; for since the Godhead is incomprehensible and everywhere present, it must follow that it is indeed beyond the bounds of the Manhood which it has assum­ed, but is yet none the less in the same also, and remains personally united to it.

Nathanael saith unto Him, whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. John 1, 48.
