day no. 15,082: salvation and submission

"Sin is man's refusal to submit to God. The Gospel is a message of Jesus'' submission in order to redeem us from our lack of it." - Bryan Winchester

Jesus was not made inferior by His submission, He was elevated in light of it. In this, He shows that God keeps His promises to raise up those who lower themselves. 

1 Peter 5:5b-6
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you.

Jesus humbled Himself by being lifted up on a cross.
He was exalted by being lifted up from the grave.
