And (Jesus) being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:8

You, the God-Man, humbled yourself by becoming obedient. When your Father spoke through the Spirit within you, you listened intently and obeyed completely. King of kings, may we become humble like you. In your Name, Amen.
