Now Jesus is Lord, and the Father gives him authority over all things, except the Father Himself. There was a time when Jesus took on flesh. Before that time, the Word that became flesh was everything the Father was. By taking on flesh, the Son became forever subject to the Father. We must have such humility too. Jesus is our Lord, and we can never be greater than him. The Lord Jesus Christ will always be subject to the Father. We can never be people who are not subject to anyone. Only the Father is like that. Only the Father is the One True God. Yet originally, Jesus, or rather the Word that became Jesus by taking on flesh, was everything that the Father is. It was an act of humility to become flesh and thus to forever be subject to the Father. This was the will of the Father, fulfilled in love. The Father in love now gives him everything. This unites the Father and Son in one purpose forever.
