I came to be beside [Jehovah] as a master worker.—Prov. 8:30.
How did Jesus come to possess the qualities he displayed during his life on earth? In his prehuman existence, he observed his heavenly Father for aeons of time and absorbed his ways. (Prov. 8:22, 23) In heaven, he had seen Jehovah’s loving way of exercising headship over all His creation and had made that way his own. (1 Cor. 11:3) Would Jesus have been able to do that had he not been submissive? It was a delight for him to be in subjection to his Father, and it was a pleasure for Jehovah to have such a Son. When on earth, Jesus reflected perfectly the marvelous qualities of his heavenly Father. What a privilege it is for us to be in subjection to Christ, God’s appointed Ruler of the heavenly Kingdom! w10 5/15 1:10
