Dogmatic Theology Vol 2 - Shedd - XVII - Chapter I Christ's theanthropic person concluded

Required reading

Dogmatic Theology Vol 2 by William G.T. Shedd (Available from Amazon or here) - Continue Chapter 1 'Christ's theanthropic person' by reading up to the paragraph beginning '9. In the incarnation, the Logos did not unite himself with the whole human nature, but with only a part of it.' (page 295 of my edition). 

My summary  
Today we concluding hearing the particulars of Christ's theanthropic person:                               
9. In the incarnation, the Logos did not unite himself with the whole human nature, but with only a part of it.
10. The human nature assumed into union with the Logos was miraculously sanctified, so as to be sinless and perfect.

What grabbed me 
I liked Shedd's explanation of how Jesus had two forms of consciousness: ''A man can have two forms of consciousness, yet with only one self-consciousness. He can feel cold with his body, while he prays to God with his mind. These two forms of conscious experience are wholly diverse and distinct. He does not pray with his body, or feel cold with his mind. Yet this doubleness and distinctness in the consciousness, does not destroy the unity of his self-consciousness . So, also, Jesus Christ as a theanthropic person was constituted of a divine nature and a human nature. The divine nature had its own form of experience, like the mind in an ordinary human person ; and the human nature had its own form of experience, like the body in a common man. The experiences of the divine nature were as diverse from those of the human nature, as those of the human mind are from those of the human body. Yet there was but one person who was the subject-ego of both of these experiences. At the very time when Christ was conscious of weariness and thirst by the well of Samaria, he also was conscious that he was the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, the second person in the trinity. This is proved by his words to the Samaritan woman : "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.  unto thee am the Messiah." The first-mentioned consciousness of fatigue and thirst came through the human nature in his person ; the second-mentioned consciousness of omnipotence and supremacy came through the divine nature in his person. If he had not had a human nature, he could not have had the former consciousness ; and if he had not had a divine nature, he could not have had the latter. Because he had both natures in one person, he could have both.'

Both fully man and fully God in one person. Miraculous!
