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
