98. Wherefore, if we sensibly hold to those things which be worthy of the Son of God, we ought to understand Him to have been sent in such a way that the Word of God, out of the incomprehensible and ineffable mystery of the depths of His majesty, gave Himself for comprehension to our minds, so far as we could lay hold of Him, not only when He “emptied” Himself, but also when He dwelt in us, as it is written: “I will dwell in them.” 2 Cor. vi. 16. Elsewhere also it stands that God said: “Go to, let us go down and confound their language.” Gen. xi. 7. God, indeed, never descends from any place; for He says: “I fill heaven and earth.” Jer. xxiii. 24. But He seems to descend when the Word of God enters our hearts, as the prophet has said: “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” Isa. xl. 3. We are to do this, so that, as He Himself promised, He may come together with the Father and make His abode with us. S. John xiv. 23. It is clear, then, how He comes.
