This He received again and sat in transcendent glory at the right hand of God on high (cf. Rom. 1: 3 f.; 8: 34; Col. 3: 1; 1 Cor. 14: 25). Paul does not here say in what the "superior" dignity consists which Christ did not have before His Incarnation. I agree with Ellicott that it is His Humanity which was permanently added to His Divinity. He is the Son of man now as well as the Son of God which He was before. The argument in Hebrews 2: 5-18 illustrates the point which comes out also in Paul's own argument here. 1 Cf. Cicero pro Rabir., V. 10 Nomen ipsum crucis abn't non me do a cor pore civium Romanorum sed ctiam a cogitatione, oculii, auribus. 'aHavtaXov.

The obvious implication of this language is that the gracious bestowal of this name upon Christ as the prerogative of the Father was because of the Incarnation. The Son had voluntarily given up His position of " equality with the Father" and taken a subordinate one on earth (cf. John 14: 28, " for the Father is greater than I "). "Christ obtained as a gift what He renounced as a prize" (Vincent, in loco). But what is " the name which is above every name"? There is great diversity of opinion. Lightfoot and Haupt make it simply "title" or "dignity" as "name " often represents "power,&q...
