Our Lord never insists on having authority over us.

It is a complete and effective domination, in which I acknowledge that “You are worthy, O Lord…” (Revelation 4:11). It is simply the unworthiness within me that refuses to bow down or to submit to one who is worthy. When I meet someone who is more holy than myself, and I don’t recognize his worthiness, nor obey his instructions for me, it is a sign of my own unworthiness being revealed.

He never insists on obedience, but when we truly see Him we will instantly obey Him. 

The Son was obedient as our Redeemer, because He was the Son, not in order to become God’s Son.
