What does it truly mean that Jesus humbled himself for our salvation? This profound exploration of Philippians 2:5-8 unveils the most complete theological picture of the incarnation found anywhere in Scripture. We discover that Jesus didn't just take on human appearance—he embraced the full schema of humanity, bearing every frailty, every limitation, and every scar of our fallen condition. He wasn't born as a superhuman or a man of renown, but as a humble servant who learned obedience through suffering. The text reveals something breathtaking: Jesus existed in the morphe of God, yet he voluntarily divested himself of divine attributes to become truly human. He experienced hunger, pain, tears, and ultimately death—not the natural death we face out of necessity, but a death he chose out of obedience. This wasn't just physical death; the Greek word thanatos points to a cursed death, a spiritual separation from God. When Jesus cried, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' he was experiencing the second death—the soul death—that we deserved. His humility wasn't passive weakness but active sacrifice. He became our kinsman redeemer, meeting every requirement: our sibling through the incarnation, able because he was sinless, willing because of his great love, and evicting the enemy to restore what was stolen. As we begin this new year, we're challenged to number our days with the same intentionality Jesus demonstrated—to embrace humility through obedience, counting others as more significant than ourselves.
