Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 63] The plan of salvation had been laid before the creation of the earth; for Christ is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” yet it was a struggle, even with the King of the universe, to yield up His Son to die for the guilty race. The angels could not rejoice as Christ opened before them the plan of redemption, for they saw that man's salvation must cost their loved Commander unutterable woe.
In grief and wonder they listened to His words as He told them how He must descend from heaven's purity and peace, its joy and glory and immortal life, and come in contact with the degradation of earth, to endure its sorrow, shame, and death.
Yet, Jesus made a deliberate decision to run the risk to save us, and it is because He did, why we are now given the opportunity to live eternally. Thus, issues of risk, pertaining to the rescue of fallen humanity are to be given due consideration, in the light of what Christ went through to save us.
Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
