And forgiveness can only truly be bestowed by a heart moved with compassion, not just with offense.
Jesus is regarded in orthodox Christian theology as the result of a self emptying of God. God “the Son” is more than the earthly Jesus. The Son had to set aside His crown when He manifested in spacetime as Jesus. And this is how we can see humility itself mirrored in God. We can be humble because we grasp the hand of a God whonHimself became humble.
Thank you for that explanation. I have never heard it expressed that way before.
You have increased my understanding.
I will be thinking of what you said about compassion and humility tonight.
