Good thoughts from John Stott

Here is a paragraph that hit me hard as I was reading through John Stott's commentary on Ephesians today.

Voluntary Christian self-submission is still very significant today. ‘Jesus Christ demonstrates rather than loses his dignity by his subordination to the Father. When a person is voluntarily amenable to another, gives way to him, and places himself at his service, he shows greater dignity and freedom than an individual who cannot bear to be a helper and partner to anyone but himself.’
