Jesus

• Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
  equality with God something to be grasped, but
  made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
  servant, being made in human likeness. And being
  found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself
  and became obedient to death-- even death on a
  cross! Philip. 26-8
