58. When we read, then, that the Lord of glory was crucified, let us not suppose that He was crucified as in His glory. 1 Cor. ii. 8. It is because He Who is God is also man, God by virtue of His Divinity, and by taking upon Him of the flesh, the man Christ Jesus, that the Lord of glory is said to have been crucified; for, possessing both natures, that is, the human and the divine, He endured the Passion in His humanity, in order that without distinction He Who suffered should be called both Lord of glory and Son of man, even as it is written: “Who descended from heaven.” S. John iii. 13.
