We have thought elsewhere how Jesus, the Son, was humbled, came into the lower parts of the earth, below all things—His very soul brought into the dust of death that He might be above all things But see also how He was a Servant, that He might be a Son, i.e., as Man He was the Son and owned as such of the Father, but amongst the servants He was the lowest, yea, a reproach of men and outcast of the people, rejected by all the servants, "A worm and no man," put to death as a Servant, as though He had broken the law of which they were the masters, that He might be the First of Sons, " The first-begotten from the dead," having risen out of the law, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence; for just in proportion as we are humbled, we have exaltation of God—ever, ever, ever is this true! Amen.
