What did Jesus make himself to be? Nothing, a servant, have human likeness, obedient to death on a cross. Remember when Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane and the soldiers came to arrest him? When Jesus told them who he was—that he was the one they wanted—the soldiers were all knocked to the ground. But then Jesus didn’t use his power on them anymore, and he allowed the soldiers to take him as prisoner to the high priest’s house. This is one example of how Jesus humbled himself by not using all the heavenly power he has as the God-man.

How many different times does Paul tell us Jesus was a real person? 3 How does he describe him? The very nature of a servant (not God!), human likeness, and having an appearance as a man
Jesus’ appearance as a servant and taking on true flesh—becoming human—wasn’t just an elaborate ruse. He wasn’t pretending to be a person. In fact he was (and is) true man! Why did he become true man? To be obedient to his Father’s will. Where would this obedience lead? To death on a cross.

How is The LORD Jesus Christ described here? Rich. How was Jesus rich? He is the King of kings. Psalm 24 tells us that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. All honor and glory and power and dominion are his alone. The better question is what is he lacking? How is Jesus not rich? He has it all. So Jesus had everything…what did he do with all that wealth? He became poor. Why? For our sakes. So that we might become rich. How are we rich? 2nd Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Real wealth is found in righteousness.

In the 2nd Article of the Apostles’ Creed, we have a list of the main things that Jesus did to save us. Each of these is an aspect of his life in which he did not use all of his heavenly power and glory. What are some things that the Apostles list as parts of Jesus’ humiliation? He was born of an un-wed virgin woman. He was born in a lowly way and place. He suffered under Pontius Pilate (mocked & flogged) and was crucified like a criminal, died, and was buried in a tomb that wasn’t his own.
It might seem as if we can say that Jesus humbling himself can be explained by simply saying he became man, but this misses part of what Jesus did. Jesus humiliation was more than become a person. His life on earth was not what the King of kings deserves. He suffered more than the average man. He suffered for the sins of every man. But he is also still true man and true God right now in his exalted state in heaven (1st Tim. 2:5). Christ is now fully exalted (Philippians 2.9-11; Revelation 5:12-13).

His life on earth was not what the King of kings deserves. He suffered more than the average man. He suffered for the sins of every man. But he is also still true man and true God right now in his exalted state in heaven (1st Tim. 2:5). Christ is now fully exalted (Philippians 2.9-11; Revelation 5:12-13).
It might seem as if we can say that Jesus humbling himself can be explained by simply saying he became man, but this misses part of what Jesus did. Jesus humiliation was more than become a person.

Remember how we discussed the story of the prince and the pauper? The prince became a pauper for only a short time; then he went back to being a prince. In a similar way, Jesus was only humbled for a time—while he was here on earth living perfectly and dying for our sins. After he died and rose he had full use of his divine power and glory, once again. This is why he was able to pass through locked doors (john 20:19-23) and yet still be visibly human to his disciples. The only thing different about Jesus from the way he was before he humbled himself is that then he was only God. Now he is both God and man.

When Jesus rose from the dead, he had a glorified body. He appeared to Mary of Magdalene and didn’t let her hold onto him, because he had to return to his Father in heaven. He told her to go to his brothers and tell them the good news of his resurrection. (John 20:11-18) Some time later, he appeared to 10 of his disciples. For some reason, Thomas wasn’t there. When he heard about his Savior’s reappearance he didn’t believe what his brothers had to say. He declared that unless he saw the nail marks and put his finger into his side, he will not believe. Jesus, lovingly, reappears to his disciples and offers Thomas this chance. Jesus recognized that for Thomas he needed to see Jesus to believe, but he also promised blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe. (John 20 :24-29)

What did Jesus do for everyone? He tasted death. What does this mean? He suffered eternal separation from God as he suffered and died on the cross. What reward did he receive for this physical and spiritual suffering? He is now re-crowned with glory and honor—what was his before he humbled himself and became a human on this earth.

How are we described in this passage? Dead in our sins. Who changed all that? God. How? He made us alive with Christ. When Christ was raised from the dead, we were given victory over the grave.

So Jesus died for our sins. What did he do after he died for our sins? He disarmed the power and the authorities and made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Who were these powers and authorities ? We might be tempted to think it was the Jewish or Roman officials, but when did anything like that happen. What this passage is describing is Jesus’ descent into hell. He took the power away from sin, death, and the devil—that’s what we learned last time—and when he descended into hell he made his victory known to the devil and his demons. He triumphed over them by the cross.
In the 2nd article of the Apostles’ Creed we are reminded that Jesus was exalted. What are the different parts of his exaltation? He descended into hell, he rose from the dead, he ascended into heaven. He sits at the right hand of God the Father. He rules over everything and will come to judge the living and the dead.

Imagine you wanted to buy a new Ipod touch. You find one that is half the price on craigslist. Something seems suspicious right? The Ipod could be be stolen. If it is, when you plug it in it can be located and you would be guilty of having something that isn’t yours. You could have it seized, taken from you. It would be foolish to buy a stolen Ipod. In a similar way, we would be fools if we believed that Jesus could forgive our sins if he didn’t offer us any proof. He promised that he would rise from the dead as proof of our salvation. According to Romans, why was Jesus raised to life? For our justification. What is justification? Being declared not guilty.

Jesus’ resurrection was his receipt for us. This was his proof that his death actually did what he claimed it did—save us.
