Life in Christ is about far more than waiting for our time to live forever with him in Heaven, there are things going on here and now. One of those is imitating him, and that means learning submission. Jesus wasn’t a heartless ruler who wanted everyone to bow to him. He modeled for us something very different: by emptying himself, he set an example that was unlike any other before him. By lowering himself, he set and example for us to submit to him and to one another in love.
