Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming a obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.
Footnote on “death”
The Lord’s humiliation involved seven steps: (1) emptying Himself; (2) taking the form of a slave; (3) becoming in the likeness of men; (4) humbling Himself; (5) becoming obedient; (6) being obedient even unto death; and (7) being obedient unto the death of the cross.
