Illustration★★★or “‘self-emptying,” of our Lord Jesus Christ at the time
of His incarnation was “like keeping my right hand, by
a voluntary act of my will, behind my back, doing all
my work with my left hand. Thus Christ voluntarily put
behind Him certain of His divine powers when He be-
came a man.”
That should help us to understand the meaning of
His advent.
The point
Christ's self-emptying at the incarnation was like voluntarily keeping one's right hand behind one's back and performing all work with the left; Christ put aside certain divine powers to become human.
