Emptying

Recently I was reading the crucifixion story and was struck by the fact that even his clothes were taken from him. The soldiers gambled for them, winner take all.

Phil 2 came to mind. I wondered if there is a meaningful parallel.

When Christ left heaven to become a man, he emptied himself of all the trappings of heaven. As he left his human life, he was emptied of all earthly belongings.
