Jesus is acting in the place of his people. He’s obeying on our behalf. He’s standing firm in the same kinds of circumstances where the people of God have historically failed.
Even if we abandoned our houses and bodies and brains and our playthings, and we stooped down to take on the form of pond scum – even then, we would not have humbled ourselves as much as Jesus Christ did.
Are you satisfied? Real fellowship with God produces completeness of joy.
