"For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves" (Luke 22:27).
We can envision a God seated on a heavenly throne, gazing upon us with breathtaking greatness and glory. We might even imagine a God who descends from heaven to display His power and magnificence. Perhaps we can conceive of a God who descends from heaven to impart profound spiritual wisdom. However, we could never fathom a God who joyfully descends from heaven, clothing himself in our humanity, to be present among us as one who serves!
My friends, this is the glory of Jesus! He is the King of Heaven who took delight in humbling Himself for our sake. He came down, not to be served, but to lay down His life for us. This is the King of Glory, and His humility is our salvation.
Praise be to God!
