Suffering Servant
“I will give him a portion among the great because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors let himself be numbered” – Isaiah 53:12. Unlike Adam, the “ Servant of Yahweh ” did not attempt to grasp the “ likeness of God .” Instead, he humbled himself and submitted to a horrific and shameful death. For this reason , God highly exalted him and made him “ Lord ” over all things. Exaltation did not precede his death - it followed it.
