He humbled Himself to die on the Cross
He humbled Himself to die on the Cross
It was the will of the Father that His Son should die on the cross for our sins, and the Lord Jesus was obedient to His Father. The Bible says,
“He (Jesus) humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” -- Philippians 2:8
There has never been a death as shameful as death by crucifixion. This form of death was reserved for the worst of criminals. But Jesus humbled Himself and went down, down, down to die a criminal’s death on the cross.
