God humbled himself as He put on flesh and communicated His will through a brain of flesh but in this body Joined to it’s soul is the sinless living spirit of the living God. In knowing He did this out of the love He has for His fallen creation that people could find restoration from their broken condition of spiritual death and deliver them from their sin. Consider the following.
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:2-11
“Jesus came in a manger for you and for me. He willingly left the glories and riches of heaven to be born in a stable. Jesus became poor, so that we might become rich. He lived a life of abject poverty.He was put to death like a common criminal so that we could wear a royal robe as a Child of God, you are rich!” A.Rogers
Thank you Father God for this gift of your Son, Thank you Jesus for all you are and all you do and Thank you Holy Spirit for showing me my condition and pointing me to the person of truth so I could receive the greatest gift of Christ my Lord!
