# Question 46: What was the estate of Christ’s humiliation? | Westminster Larger Catechism

The estate of Christ’s humiliation was that low condition, wherein he, for our sakes, emptying himself of his glory, took upon him the form of a servant, in his conception and birth, life, death, and after his death, until his resurrection.

Scripture proofs: Phil. 2:6-8; Luke 1:31; 2 Cor. 8:9; Acts 2:24.
