Whatever is meant by the “made Himself void,” [emptied Himself], which describes His Incarnation here, one thing it could never possibly mean – a “kenosis” which could hurt or distort His absolute fitness to guide and bless us whom He came to save. That [emptying] placed Him indeed on the creaturely level in regard of the reality of human experience of growth, and human capacity for suffering. But never for one moment did it, could it, make Him other than the absolute and infallible Master and Guide of His redeemed.

If we are Christ’s indeed, we are called not to a holiday but to a campaign. Our tent is pitched on a field of battle.
