173. When does Jesus, as our Brother, manifest the divine majesty that is His as the Son of God?
A. Jesus made His divine power and majesty visible at times during His earthly life with miracles and especially at the transfiguration.
John 2:11 This, the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory.
Luke 6:8 But He [Jesus] knew their thoughts.
Matthew 17:1-2 And after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became white as light.
B. Jesus, who remains true man, manifests the divine attributes communicated to Him in His incarnation. His power and majesty are manifested fully and constantly in His victorious descent into Hell, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension into Heaven, His present reign at the right hand of God, and His future return for judgment. We call this His state of exaltation.
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
