If Jesus had done no more, consequently, than assume the human nature and so give expression to the unity of God and man, it would be entirely beyond comprehension how we could enter into fellowship with Him and be reconciled with God. Rather He would, by assuming a sinless human nature and by living in an unperturbed fellowship with God, have introduced further division among us, have plunged us deep under the sense of our helplessness, inasmuch as we, weak, sinful creatures, could never follow in His high example anyhow.
