==What does "to empty" mean==


This passage teaches that Jesus Christ became a real human because he did not cling to his divinity. He was willing to “empty himself” in order to take upon himself “the form of a slave” and be “born in human likeness.” If Jesus Christ continued to use his divine attributes, as classical Christology holds, what did Jesus empty himself of?
