It is unusual for a person in power to set aside their power and authority. Yet, the one who has all power and authority in heaven and on earth lays aside his eternal glory so that we might experience eternal life. Then, when we look to an authority other than Jesus we experience an inferior life. We must understand that Jesus is the Father's gift to us (John 3:16), but that we, also, are the Father's gift to his Son (John 17:2).
