Kenosis—never-ending!

A profound mystery: God becomes a slave. This implies very specifically that God wants to be known through servanthood. Such is God’s own self-disclosure. Thus, when Jesus describes His return in glory at the end of the world, He says, “Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell you solemnly, he will put on an apron, sit them down at a table and wait on them” (Luke 12:3, emphasis added).

Jesus remains Lord by being a servant.—Brennan Manning, Abba’s Child, 141–42 (all emphasis his)
