The humanity of Jesus

For as long as I can remember whenever I have read Philippians 2:5-11 I always wonder as to its meaning. What does it mean that he 'emptied himself,' or that he 'did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped?' I have always wondered as to the meaning of these things, but never until today did I grasp the full effect of Jesus' humanity. The fact that Jesus was tempted just as we are and still did not sin, even though He had the ability to, gives me great comfort. The text says that He 'took the likeness of men.' I'm so glad of that. I suppose we could argue forever about the meaning of Philippians 2:5-11, but throughout it all, one thing remains constant: Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. No one else could have sufficed.
