FOR US
Hebrews 2:1-10
The suffering of Jesus is distinctive in itself; quite apart from any other suffering. It was purely voluntary: the coming down here as he did," the lowly life he led, the suffering of spirit through his life, and the great climax —the Cross. It was all done of his own free accord for us. He took our place and took what belonged to us. This reveals the real love and meaning of Jesus’ suffering.
Philippians 2:1 — 11
A GREAT MEETING
The extremest extremes meet in Jesus. He came from the highest down to the lowest; then returned to the highest. The Son of God became the Son of man; the purest of men was treated as the worst; the freest as the bondservant of all; the most loving subjected to the bitterest hatred. But he gladly yielded, for so the worst can become purest, the slave free, and sons of men become sons of God.
