9 Bible Verses about The Submission Of Christ

Then the tempter approached Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”

Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. And he said to Him, “I will give You all these things if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only Him.”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

And He said, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

And when everything is subject to Christ, then the Son Himself will also be subject to the One who subjected everything to Him, so that God may be all in all.

Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be used for His own advantage.
Instead He emptied Himself
by assuming the form of a slave,
taking on the likeness of men.
And when He had come as a man
in His external form,
read more.
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.
For this reason God highly exalted Him
and gave Him the name
that is above every name,

Though He was God’s Son, He learned obedience through what He suffered.
