¶ But being made in the likeness of men, Christ was also made under the law. In one sense there could have been no humiliation in this for ^the glory of Christ is his obedience to the will of the Father - all good beings have ever been and will ever be subject to Gods law. But his humiliation under the law was, that being made under the law he was made under the Curse. Not that he was guilty, but that he was the representative of the guilty. He was treated by the law as though he had been a Sinner. The law arraigned him before its tribunal and condemned him to bear the punishment which was due to the sinner.
"A more humiliating situation cannot be conceived. The Son of God is treated as the meanest and vilest of mankind. The law made no concession to his dignity; it waived none of its rights in crossed out: its ^his favor, and nothing less would satisfy it than his blood."
