8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Php 2:8–9.
He humbled Himself
Jesus armed Himself with humility and obedience. These were His major weapons of warfare.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Eph 3:20–21.
What God wants to do in us exceeds our ability to consider or ask anything of Him. A surer way is to humbly yield to the power of His Spirit within, to bring us to inconceivable heights. To put this in perspective: before the gospel, none could have imagined the glory that would come to us through the offering of His Son.
