How do we know Jesus was humiliated for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible confirms that Jesus was made lower than the angels and suffered death to atone for the sins of His people.

Hebrews 2:9 explicitly states that Jesus was made 'a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.' This condescension is central to the gospel, as it highlights the humility and obedience of Christ in fulfillment of the Father's will. He took on human flesh to bear our sins and, through His suffering, He accomplished our redemption. This underlines the Reformed understanding that Christ's humiliation was essential for our salvation, showcasing His love for the elect and His role as our sacrificial Lamb. The fact that He was crowned with glory after His suffering, as noted in Hebrews 2:9, indicates the victory achieved through His sacrifice.
