We see that our whole salvation and allIts parts are comprehended in Christ.

If we seek any gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing.If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion.If purity, in his conception.If gentleness, it appears in his birth.If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion.If acquittal, in his condemnation.If remission of the curse, in his cross.If satisfaction, in his sacrifice.If purification, in his blood.If reconciliation, in his descent into hell.If mortification of the flesh, in his tomb.If newness of life, in his resurrection.If immortality, in the same. --John Calvin, Institutes II:16

that is, His flesh…
