Jesus did, however, renounce or set aside His privileges in several areas:
1) heavenly glory—while on earth He gave up the glory of a face-to-face relationship with God and the continuous outward display and personal enjoyment of that glory (cf. Jn 17:5);

4) eternal riches—while on earth Christ was poor and owned very little (cf. 2Co 8:9); and

Heb 2:14, 17; 4:15). He became the God-Man: fully God and fully man.
