“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone — the incarnate Jesus experienced genuine diminishment below the angels, real suffering, and actual death. His humiliation was not apparent but ontologically real; his exaltation through death reveals that suffering, not evasion, is the path to glory.
