Out of His deep love for you and me — His profound yearning to see us redeemed from spiritual death and its eternal consequences and to reconcile us to Himself — Jesus was willing to leave His majestic realm of glory to enter the world of humanity. He came down to our level so He could become an effective High Priest on our behalf. Shedding all His visible attributes of deity that were too much for man’s flesh to endure, Jesus clothed Himself in human flesh and was manifested as a man on the earth.

All of this required the greatest humility ever witnessed since the creation of the world.
