How do we know that Christ did not please himself?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's selflessness is affirmed in scripture, showing that He laid down His life for others and did not seek His own comfort or glory.

In Romans 15:3, Paul points out that Christ did not please Himself; instead, He bore the reproaches and sins of others. This underscores the model of sacrificial love that we are called to emulate. Christ's actions on the cross epitomized selflessness as He willingly took upon Himself the punishment for the sins of humanity. By reflecting on this profound act of grace and love, we are reminded that our lives should also reflect this commitment to value others above ourselves, leading to a harmonious community that glorifies God through our self-giving love.
