Christ Gave Himself For The World

Kierkegaard writes that Jesus had to be the "Lowly One" in order to save the world. He had to take on disadvantage, humiliation, slander, and even death on the Cross in order to redeem us. He did not use the advantages of being God to dodge suffering. Instead, He took it all on and overcame it. We are being redeemed from and redeemed to.
