121. Of Him the Scripture saith, in the passage cited, Ps. lxxxix. 37, 38. in order to discover the mysteries of the Incarnation: “But Thou hast rejected, O Lord, and counted for nought—Thou hast cast out Thy Christ. Or, “thine Anointed.” Cf. Ps. xxii. 1; S. Matt. xxvii. 46. Thou hast overthrown the covenant made with Thy Servant, and trampled His holiness in the earth.” “Holiness.” E.V.—“crown.” What was it, in regard whereof the Scripture called Him “Servant,” but His flesh?—seeing that “He did not hold equality with God as a prey, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made into the likeness of men, and found in fashion as a man.” Phil. ii. 6, 7. So, then, in that He took upon Himself My nature, He was a servant, but by virtue of His own power He is the Lord.
