Christ was already equal with God, possessing all of the same Divine attributes possessed by God the Father. It would be no "robbery," therefore, if He came into the world and demanded all men immediately serve Him and worship Him as God. But in fact He came more "quietly" into this world. He made Himself of no reputation and became as it were a servant (verse 7). He left us an example of humility that we ought to emulate.
