Humiliation of Christ - (Philippians 2:8), seen in (1.) His birth (Galatians 4:4; Luke 2:7; John 1:46; Hebrews 2:9), (2.) His circumstances, (3.) His reputation (Isaiah 53:1; Matthew 26:59, Matthew 26:67; Psalms 22:6; Matthew 26:68), (4.) His soul (Psalms 22:1; Matthew 4:1; Luke 22:44; Hebrews 2:17, Hebrews 2:18; Hebrews 4:15), (5.) His death (Luke 23; John 19; Mark 15:24, Mark 15:25), (6.) and His burial (Isaiah 53:9; Matthew 27:57, Matthew 27:58, Matthew 27:60). His humiliation was necessary (1.) to execute the purpose of God (Acts 2:23, Acts 2:24; Psalms 40:6), (2.) fulfill the Old Testament types and prophecies, (3.) satisfy the law in the room of the guilty (Isaiah 53:1; Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:15), procure for them eternal redemption, (4.) and to show us an example.
