What else did Jesus submit Himself to in order to redeem us? Gleaned from the gospels.

Coming from the pure, sinless and glorious atmosphere of Heaven,

He  made Himself vulnerable as a human being to the attacks of Satan, especially after fasting 40 days..

He agreed to live in the midst of widespread, ugly sin: idolatry, immorality, religious hypocrisy, cruelty, and exploitation of the weak and poor, to name a few.

Like Lot, He must have been vexed and afflicted  by  all this sin, but unlike Lot, never sinned Himself.

He constantly and selflessly served the ungrateful,  unthankful and self-serving crowds that followed him.

He endured scorn, graciously from many, even from His own earthly brothers.

He bore up under false accusations and personal attacks, like after preaching in Nazareth.

He was grieved daily by His slow-witted and self-centered disciples.

He was willing to endure abandonment and betrayal by his disciples, but did not abandon them.

He was willing to wait all those years before beginning ministry, and then patiently waited for the climactic ending.

What a gracious, great and glorious Savior, who unnecessarily gave all  to redeem His wicked enemies!
