91. The Divine took to Himself the Human, and the Human conjoined itself to the Divine. This shows how reciprocal union is effected, as that of good and truth, and of truth and good. Just so, a man becomes spiritual, and an angel from the Lord. To show that it was reciprocal, He said, The Father was in Him and He in the Father [John 14:10] and again "Glorify Thy Son that Thy Son also may glorify Thee." [John 17:1, 5.]
