as their organ." ATHANASIUS had said: "Whatever the Scripture<br />

declares that Christ had received in time, it affirms with reference to His<br />

humanity, not with reference to His deity." BASIL THE GREAT had<br />

Paid: "When it is declared by our Lord: 'All power is given unto me,' the<br />

words are to be understood of Him in His incarnation, not in His Deity."<br />

"As the Son of God has been made participant of flesh <strong>and</strong> blood, so the<br />

human flesh of our Lord has been made participant of Deity." 301<br />

AMBROSE had said: "All things are subject to Him according to His<br />

flesh. Christ, according to His humanity, shares the throne of God."<br />

"Thou art everywhere (ubique), <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing in our midst art not perceived<br />

by us." "One Christ is everywhere (ubique); here existing complete<br />

(plenus), <strong>and</strong> there complete." 302 CHRYSOSTOM had said: "<strong>The</strong> angels<br />

are comm<strong>and</strong>ed to adore Him according to the flesh." "Christ is beyond<br />

the heavens, He is beyond the earth, He is wherever He wills to be;<br />

wheresoever He is, He is entire; wheresoever He is, <strong>and</strong> wheresoever thou<br />

art who seekest Him, thou art in Him whom thou seekest." 303<br />

THEOPHYLACT had said: "<strong>The</strong> Father hath given all things into the<br />

h<strong>and</strong> of the Son according to His humanity." "He fills all things with His<br />

rule <strong>and</strong> working, <strong>and</strong> this He does in His flesh, for He had filled all things<br />

before with His divinity." 304 "<strong>The</strong> holy body of Christ...is communicated in<br />

the four parts of the world...He sanctifies the soul of each with His body,<br />

through His flesh, <strong>and</strong> exists entire <strong>and</strong> undivided in all everywhere." 305<br />

OECUMENIUS had said: "He received as man what He had as God. As<br />

man it was said to Him: 'Sit at my right h<strong>and</strong>,' for as God he had an eternal<br />

government." "By His divinity He had aforetime filled all things, but being<br />

incarnate He descended <strong>and</strong> ascended, that with His flesh He might fill all<br />

things." 306 JEROME 307 had said: "<strong>The</strong> Lamb is everywhere (ubique)."<br />
