Heavenly Advocate Retains Human Nature Forever
85
The reconciliation of man to God could be accomplished only
through a mediator who was equal with God, possessed of attributes
that would dignify, and declare Him worthy to treat with the Infinite
God in man’s behalf, and also represent God to a fallen world. Man’s
substitute and surety must have man’s nature, a connection with the
human family whom He was to represent, and, as God’s ambassador,
He must partake of the divine nature, have a connection with the
Infinite, in order to manifest God to the world, and be a mediator
between God and man.—
