There are 6 verses from Philippians I go to when I need assurance of God's ultimate plan for us. This drama is, for me, the greatest mystery in scripture. To experience it, I travel through time and space, back to pre-world (time) eternity and then forward through all the ages to eternity, future:
"[Jesus Christ] 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! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:6-11
