Philippians 2:5-8 ESV
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Jesus emptied Himself to become one of us. He then went humbly to the cross on our behalf and died a cruel death that we might live. This is where we must meet Him.
We are to empty ourselves to become one with Him. Having found ourselves in a fallen human form, we humbly accept His mercy and grace by becoming obedient to the point of death of our sinful flesh, that we might live in the life of Christ.
This is where we cross paths with our Lord and Savior. It is on the cross we become one.
