empty: 40 words in 40 days

I am finite. God is infinite. The incarnation means that God took on a body and agreed to live with the finitude of humanity. He willingly occupied a body with limits and boundaries.
Philippians 2:7 says that he emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant. He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Because he emptied Himself and died, I can share in his infinitude. To empty also means that he laid aside equality with God.
The God of the Universe emptied Himself and became a servant. If Lent is about creating a space for God to work, we have the example in Christ. As I ponder my finitude and the work of Christ this lenten season, gratitude floods my body. I am in awe of the work of Christ.
