Heidelberg Catechism / Lord's Day 18 / Q. 48

Q. 48. But if his human nature is not present wherever his Godhead is, are then these two natures in Christ separated from one another?

Question. But if his human nature is not present wherever his Godhead is, are then these two natures in Christ separated from one another?

Answer. Not at all: for since the Godhead is incomprehensible and omnipresent (Job 11;7-9), it must necessarily follow that the same is not limited with the human nature he assumed, and yet remains personally united to it (John 3;13).

Proofs.

  • [proof-1] Job 11;7-9.—Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?— Acts 17;27.—1 Kings 8;27.
  • [proof-2] Job 3;13.—And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.— Col. 2;9.—Phil. 2;6-7.
