humility of Christ

I have been trying to understand the glory of Christ in His humbling himself. John Owen says it only comes with extended meditation, for which i need an extension. I have had a few thoughts that are meaningful to me. Considering the levels of humility Jesus submitted to. !) He emptied Himself and became a man; the difference between God and man is infinite. Jesus assumed our limitations. Imagine an eternal being submitting to boundaries, circadian rhythms, hunger pains, thirst, suffering and pain, bowel movements... 2) He not only became a man, but a servant of man; poor and homeless. The King came not a prince, but a pauper. 3) He laid down His life to death on a cross; an innocent man being hung as a criminal. This is truly the lowliest man that has ever lived.

Overarching all of these things is the humility of His willingness. His willingness is the most intriguing part. For a man might humble himself under the mighty hand of God to accept a circumstance He cannot control and rely on God given his human condition. But it is entirely another thing for Jesus to willingly submit himself to the limitations of man, the abuse of man, the death on a criminal's cross, when He had it completely within His power to prevent it all. This willingness seems almost foolish. It begs the question WHY?
Why will to do this?
"Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God" Heb 10:7 Because it was the will of God for Jesus to come in this form. Jesus obeyed the infinite will and wisdom of His Father. What Love He has for the Father? What desire to see Him glorified and the infinite worth of His name upheld!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only son" This is a mystery. Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us, that we might be called the sons of God!

The humility of Christ to be a mediator for us. Willingly to the dregs. Oh, God, that I would understand more this incredible mystery.
