I’m not sure about this at face value.

I look at the resurrection, from whence salvation and new life springs, and see power, great power, power to raise the dead. God tells us this is great power. Christ may have been fully man but he was never less than fully Christ and that is why his death is such a big deal. His form is never lowly except in visual comparison to what He looks like normally – as in His transfiguration. Nothing lowly could do what He did.
