He stepped out of glory

Neue Lieder762

He stepped out of glory
And put on the lowly.
And life’s very Author
A creature became.
Despised and forsaken,
Afflicted with sorrow,
From infinite splendor
To the likeness of shame.

He chose to be humbled,
He chose limitation,
He chose to be finite,
He chose to be man.
God’s unfathomed purpose
Found substance in Jesus;
A two-natured being—
The unique God-man.

His own shell was broken,
Releasing His glory.
This life-impartation
Produced many grains.
The Firstborn rejoices
With His many brothers;
An incorporation—
Divine and human.

We cannot but love Him,
Our lovely Forerunner.
His shame was our vict’ry,
His anguish our joy.
The children of judgement
He brought into glory.
The millions of God-men
Forever rejoice.

The children of judgement
He brought into glory.
The millions of God-men
Forever rejoice.

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in leading many sons into glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings." (Hebrews 2:10)

Hallelujah! He brought us out of judgment leading usunto glory!

Philippians 2:5-11 shows us that

Christ voluntarily chose to drop authority and pick up submission. What an astounding thought and what a marvellous mercy.

How else could He have become the Lamb of God and the totality of all the offerings on our behalf?

Thank You Triune God!

For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son...

Now through the process of His incarnation, human living, all-inclusive death, resurrection, ascension, and descension as the life-giving Spirit, there are many God-men expressing Him now and for eternity will exalt Him as the New Jerusalem!

What a powerful hymn!

He chose to be humbled,
He chose limitation,
He chose to be finite,
He chose to be man.
Lord Jesus, in all that You are, I love You!
