Fashioned in Love
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.
To All the Saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi 2:6-8
In fact, it now appears how like unto God the Father the Son actually is. If robbery were actually a thing, he had of been guilty of taking his place time and again. Though it is his place is not it for which God has highly exalted him and given him a name above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow whether in Heaven, under the earth, or here among men. The robbery then only happens when permissions not given. In the case of our Lord, there has never been a time when he has been apart from his person. He owned all Heaven before time began and now is not above taking his place once again. The form of God you see is in all actuality. Though for us it would appear that we are just to be like him for we shall see him as he is. Thus, any resemblance we would bear to the Father is but as a candle lighted from him or a mirror made in reflecting his Son. Then too, there is him in us doing good deeds and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God is not it that allows this to happen. The gift of God see must come with a form time and again. It is a distinctive packaging if you will that gives away the mystery on its very appearing. Though he has not got a reputation does he for being much to look at first. There is certainly no form or comeliness that we should desire him save but for that of his power and his glory. There is no reputation too because he has not come to earth by smiting the few. He is certainly not peaceful either except for that the peace he would bring but that is beside the point much rather when just merely as this considering the Savior. Should a form appear it is like a delivery gear though than a dressing up of what should appear. Certainly, we have got some idea of what his appearance should be as seen through the crowd. It is that of his glory as seen in midst, yet here he has taken it off and tied it around his waist like a robe much as so it will not get dirty I suppose. The form of the servant too allows for service to men. It is something that immediately identifies him with our fallen human condition and so too well that he had know. As the Scripture says he was made in the likeness of men. It is not a pretty sight considering all that we would go through. I mean, too just think of our Lord being sent in his person. He must needs have been had not he just to die for all men. Though you should not be too surprised at it not when it would been the plan all along. He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world in particular though the finding in fashion is nice after a notion. Still though, nothing ever distracted him from his purposes as becoming the Lord. Not that he was not already of course as be fitted him just that when it comes to the human condition our Lord took than especial pains when it came to the service of men. In fact, he performed miracles and healed the sick in the midst. So too he preached the Gospel of the kingdom it seems to all who would listen. There is humility and obedience to be seen with the Lord not that he is had need of submitting to his plans there in the midst but much rather as Author and Creator of such then for sure. Though just to sacrifice that is to say the death of the cross so that his salvation might be seen poured forth in the earth.
