Heidelberg Catechism
LD 18 Q48: If his humanity is not present wherever his divinity is, then aren’t the two natures of Christ separated from each other?
A: Certainly not. Since divinity is not limited and is present everywhere, it is evident that Christ’s divinity is surely beyond the bounds of the humanity that has been taken on, but at the same time his divinity is in and remains personally united to his humanity.
