We read that it is the father who sends the son into the world.

But when he sends the son into the world,

he sends the son because the sun has agreed from all

eternity to come into the world. It's not that the second person of the Trinity

was reluctant to enter into our fallenness,

but from all eternity he was pleased to do the will of the Father.

And so this agreement reaches back before creation

between the Father and the Son,

that the Son would willingly take upon himself

the cloak of a human nature, subject himself to humiliation, become a servant

obedient even unto death in order to redeem his people.
