Nearly every commentator emphasizes that Christ's exaltation is the direct result of His willing humiliation. The word 'Wherefore' or 'Therefore' links His supreme sacrifice to His supreme reward. As Charles Spurgeon notes, 'He stooped, who can tell how low? He was raised, who shall tell how high?' This establishes a powerful principle for believers: the path to true glory in God's economy is through humble obedience and self-giving love.
