II Corinthians 8:9
               For you know the grace of our Lord Yahshua Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your
               sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.


               Hebrews 2:9
               But  we  do  see  Him  who  was  made  for  a  little  while  lower  than  the  angels,  namely,
               Yahshua...


               The glorious Son of God, took upon a form that was lower than the angels, though all the
               angels were created by Him.


               Colossians 1:15-16
               He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were
               created,  both  in  the  heavens  and  on  earth,  visible  and  invisible,  whether  thrones  or
               dominions or rulers or authorities -- all things have been created through Him and for Him.

               Not only did the Son of God willingly humble Himself at the Father’s direction, but He
               became more lowly still. He was despised and rejected by men. He did not demand to be
               worshiped. He became a servant to others. He even girded Himself about with a towel and
               bent down to wash the feet of His disciples when none of them would do so.


               In His entire earthly career, the Son of God never once did anything of His own initiative.
               He only did that which the Father commanded Him to do.


               John 8:42
               Yahshua said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth
               and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He
               sent Me.”

               John 5:30
               “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just,
               because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

               Observe the stark contrast in the attitude of Christ and that of Satan. Satan said five times,
               “I WILL!” The Son of God said, “I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who
               sent Me.” Even at the end of His earthly course, as the Father made known to the Son that
               He must be rejected by the Jews, beaten, spat upon, scourged, and nailed to  a cross,
               Yahshua did not shrink back from doing the Father’s will. Though His own soul recoiled
               greatly at the cup of suffering presented to Him, His commitment to do ONLY the will of
               the Father remained unshaken.


               Luke 22:42
               "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be
               done."


               People of God, this is the great distinction between the pride and rebellion of Satan and the
               humility and submission of Yahshua. I ask you, which of these two heavenly beings attitude
