All That Is In Christ Has Been Given to Us
David sings somewhere saying: “Your throne O God is for ever and ever”. He then says: “Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions” (Ps 45: 7).
Before this anointment, the Word reigned with the Father; how then is He to be anointed King and sanctified, being the King and the Holiest from eternity?
Though being such eternally, it is said of Him that He will possess sovereignty at the end of times. In the same way although He is the Highest it was said that He was exalted (Phil 2: 9) due to the economy of the incarnation.
He is exalted (Phil 2: 9), and anointed (Ps 45: 7) and sanctified (John 17: 19) for our sakes, so that through Him the grace may also overflow in all, actually having been given to our nature [in Him], and consequently saved for the whole race. In that sense our Savior in the Gospel of John said: “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth” (John 17: 19).
All that is in Christ has been given to us. He did not receive this sanctification for Himself, being Himself the Sanctifier, but received it to deliver it to our nature through Himself, becoming thus the way and the beginning of the blessings happening to us. In that sense He said “I am the way” (John 14: 6) i.e. through whom Divine grace descends on us to exalt, sanctify, glorify and deify our nature in Christ first!
