He had the capacity to uplift His humanity into His divinity because He was of two sources: the source of the flesh, humanity, and the source of the Spirit of holiness, divinity. Then in His resurrection He uplifted His humanity into His divinity according to the Spirit of holiness, and in His humanity He was designated the Son of God. For Him to become flesh was like Solomon's going to the countryside as a 'country man' to gain a wife. According to the flesh, He was out of the seed of David. Romans 1:3-4 tells us that our Savior is of two sources: the flesh and the Spirit. His intention was to bring His humanity up to the level of His divinity.

When Stephen was being martyred, he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:56).

The Lord Jesus answered by saying, "You have said rightly. In Matthew 26 the Lord Jesus was judged by the high priest who said to Him, "I charge You to swear by the living God to tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God" (v. He did not put off His humanity when He resurrected and ascended. They think that Jesus is no longer a man. Some think that after He resurrected and ascended, He put off humanity.
