Filipenses 2

6 who, existing in God’s form, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,*Since Jehovah the Son was (and is) equally God, the point appears to be that He did not insist on hanging on to His prerogatives. 7 but divested Himself, taking a slave’s form, coming to be in the likeness of men.*Note that to be a human being is to be a slave. We are born slaves, live slaves and die slaves. We are born slaves to self, sin and death (with Satan behind the scenes); Christ offers us the option of being slaves to God, good and life. You can’t stop being a slave, but you can choose your owner. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death*Hebrews 5:8 says that Jehovah the Son "learned obedience by the things that He suffered". He had never experienced anything like that before. So what happens to us if we have the same mindset?—even death on a cross!
