Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name. (Phil 2:8-9)

He became one with us . . . even sharing a shameful death. I remember sitting in the witness chair during jury duty answering the judge’s questions. And one of the questions was if I would support the death penalty. My answer, “No, your honor, because that’s what they did to my Lord.”
