His Humility
He who knew no sin became sin so that we might become the righteousness of God (1 Cor. 5:21).
God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14), becoming the perfect sacrifice (Heb. 10:10-14) that we might be forgiven of our sins, and have a perfect mediator between God and us (1 Tim. 2:5).
Jesus did not consider equality with God something to be valued more than His purpose as the perfect sacrifice (Phil. 2:3-8). Do we have a better example of humility?
We cannot reject our equality with God, as Jesus did, because it was never ours to claim. How do we show humility?
Both Lion and Lamb
The Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain.
Strength and humility.
Power and vulnerability.
Majesty and sacrifice.
Jesus Christ, Messiah, Redeemer, Emmanuel, is compared with both a lion and a lamb in Revelation 5:5-6.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders...
Thanks be to God for sending His Son as Lion and Lamb—fulfilling the prophecy and allowing for us to be united with Him through the sacrifice.
