Have you considered, “The Three Humiliations of Christ?” I absolutely love the word “condescend”. It means to behave as if one is conscious of descending from a superior position, rank, or dignity. It means to voluntarily lay aside one’s dignity or superiority and assume equality with one regarded as inferior. Have you considered that Christ condescended to cloak Himself in human flesh, to save us, and to undo the effects of The Fall? This is The First Humiliation of Christ, (His birth as a human). The Creator of our universe may have very well picked a flower in His youth and given it to Mary, His Mother. “Look Mommy, a flower!” Christ created flowers, now He lowers Himself to the place where He discovers His own creation! If you or I descended down the ladder of creature hood to become a worm, that would be a giant descent! Still, it would be from one creature, to another creature. Christ far surpassed this! He went from Creator to creature. The scope of Christ’s First Humiliation is an immeasurable chasm beyond human comprehension. The Second Humiliation (His life on earth) of Christ lasted just 33 years, in fact only in those 33 years was He called “Jesus”. God lived as one of us. Our God of no needs, lived with needs. Jesus felt pain. He felt hunger. He cried. He felt all that we feel in the limitations that are common to human nature. The Third Humiliation of Christ (His death) is when Jesus was mocked, beaten, scourged, slapped, spat upon, then crucified on a tree in the midst of two criminals. Bethlehem had no room when He was born. Now, Jerusalem had no room for a Man like this Man. And this is my version of The Three Humiliations of Christ. Jesus took on a new name after His resurrection. He forever became, “Lord Jesus Christ”, Philippians 2:6-11. John 17:5, “And now, Father, glorify me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began.”
