The Glory of Christ
The Glory of Christ in His Person 

The power of the two natures united in one person is the glory on which lies the foundation of the church. The foundation of the whole of creation was laid in the act of absolute sovereign power when God 'hung the earth on nothing.' But the foundation of the church is on this mysterious, immovable rock of the union of the divine and human natures in one person, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Here the whole church must bend the knee and worship the God who laid this wonderful foundation. We read of the Angel of the Lord when He appeared to Moses in the burning bush. This fire was a living representation of the presence of God in the person of Christ. Concerning the Father, Christ is called the Angel of the Lord and of the Covenant. But of Christ himself he was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Again, the fire represented his divine nature, which is a consuming fire, but it also imaged his present work to deliver the people of the covenant out of the fiery trial unconsumed by covering them with his nature.
