And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
All Commentaries on Philippians 2:8 Go To Philippians 2
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
Humility is hard, since the one who humbles himself has something magnificent in his nature that works against his lowering. The one who becomes obedient, however, undertakes the act of obedience voluntarily. It is precisely through the act of humbling that he becomes obedient.
