I'm reading Von Balthasar's "Mysterium Paschale" right now, and it correlates magnificently with today's Gospel. "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life..."
You would think that when God, the Lord of the Universe, came into his own creation, it would be to make demands on us for his honor, etc. Instead, his nature is such that he came as a servant. This is what he considers "honor." (How did we ever get things so wrong?)
