The Faith of Jesus - Alonzo T. Jones

He who was equal with God became equal with
man.
He, who was Creator and Lord, became
creature and servant.
He, who was in the likeness of God, was made
in the likeness of man.
He, who was God, and Spirit, was made man,
and flesh. (John 1:1, 14).
Nor is this true only as to form: it is true as to
substance. The text here quoted from Philippians
2:5-8 gives the truth as to the form, the fashion, of
Christ: first as God, and then as man. In Hebrews,
the first and second chapters, there is given the
truth of this subject as to the substance of Christ:
first as God, and then as man.
In Hebrews 1, Christ is set before us as God. (v.
8). In Hebrews 2, Christ is set before us as man.
(vs. 6, 7, 9).
