Lord’s Day 18
Q48. If his humanity is not present wherever his divinity is, then aren't the two natures of Christ separated from each other?
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 he has taken on, but at the same time his divinity is in and remains personally united to his humanity.

Question
48. But if his human nature is not present everywhere his Godhead is, does that mean the two natures in Christ are separated from one another?
Answer. Not at all. Because the Godhead is incomprehensible and omnipresent, it necessarily follows that it is not confined to the human nature He assumed, and yet it remains personally united to it.
