There is a principle in the Bible: God
humbles the exalted and exalts the humble.
This principle is in operation in this gospel sermon. It was the Holy One and the Just Who was
denied (v14), the Prince of Life Who was killed (v15), and the Christ Who
suffered (v18). The Mighty One is
humbled, supremely at the cross. But
then He is exalted, yet not the Mighty One but the Humble One. God glorified His Servant Jesus (v13), He
raised up His Servant Jesus (v26). In
our moments of greatness we must be humble; in our humility God will
exalt. This is the mind of the Lord
(Phil. 2:5). It is our "self
esteem" (James 1:9-11).
