The expression to which our correspondent “G. H.” refers, we hold to be equivalent to the statement of the Apostle in Philippians 2:88And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:8), “He humbled Himself.” We believe our blessed Lord did really humble Himself, and empty Himself, in order to glorify God perfectly, and lay the foundation of His eternal counsels of redeeming love. We agree with our correspondent, that “the days are evil,” and that is one reason why we should fix the earnest gaze of faith on Him who “humbled Himself” for the glory of God and the salvation of man.
