Is the humanity of Christ lower than his divinity? I guess in a sense it is but in a sense it should not be looked at in that way. The danger is becoming dualistic. Notice that I am speaking about Christ's human nature and not our own. Here is an interesting question. Is the humanity of Christ lower than his divinity?

At least it doesn't look like it in the picture. Perhaps you're trying to tell us something of the monarchy of the Father as well. ;-) Yeah, but umm… none of them are at equal height.

The lowered light represents the humanity of Christ which cannot be separated from his deity because of the hypostatic union. So, through the person of Jesus Christ, humanity and deity will always be related (though humanity less than deity), and, in Him, inseparable. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it.
