When Jesus came to earth as a man, He didn't give up any of His rights
as a deity. He always was and always will be God. But coming in the form
of a man He submitted himself to the limitations of His flesh. (There
are great legal ramifications in this, which is how He was able to undo
the kingdom of darkness submitting Himself to His own laws. The greatest
strategy ever conceived.) He relied upon and
was empowered completely by the Holy Spirit during His ministry here
2000 yrs. ago. You and I, as born-again believers, have that same
opportunity today.
"Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death —
even death on a cross!" ~ Philippians 2:6-8
