Sinopsis
Excerpt from Expository Notes With Practical Observations, on the New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 2: Wherein the Sacred Text Is at Large Recited, the Sense Explained, and the Instructive Example of the Blessed Jesus, and His Holy Apostles, to Our Imitation Recommended
The apostle having told us in the fore going verses, that he was particularly called to, and by God set apart for, the preaching of the gospel, in the verses before us he de clares that Jesus Christ was the main sub jcet of that gospel which he preached, and describes him by his twofold nature; by his human nature, ver. 3. By his divine nature, ver. 4. According to his human nature he was made of the seed ofdavz'd; that is, descended from David, and one of his posterity by the mother's side, who was of that house and line, according to the flesh that is, the weakness, frailty, and mortality, of his human nature. Where observe, 1. That our Lord Jesus Christ had a being, even an eternal existence, before his incarnation, or manifestation in our flesh and nature. He was the Son of God, before he was the Son of man; hence he is said to be made of the seed of David, intimating that he was then made what he was not before. In regard of his divine nature, he' was begotten, not made; but in regard of his human nature, he was made, not begotten. Observe, 2. That Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, did in the fulness of time assume the true and perfect nature of man into a personal union with his Godhead; the human nature was united to the divine nature miraculously and ex traordinarily, by the overshadowing power ofthe Holy Ghost, Lu/re i. 34, 35. And also integrally and completely; that is to say, Christ took a complete and perfect human soul and body, with all the facul ties of the one, and all the members of the other, that thereby he might heal the whole nature of that leprosy of sin, which had seized upon, and diffused its malignity into every member, and every faculty.
