Is God Bound by God?

Paul tells me Christ

was emptied of God

before incarnation and Immanuel.

So Jesus was fully human,

fully void of God

(yet still fully God).

God bound Christ

and sent him to earth:

a God in chains.

God binds God?

An Almighty who isn't

all that mighty?

For freewill's sake,

for love's sake

and for God's (some say),

God holds back God.

They call this Love.

They call it Just

that God stands still,

abounding in grave grace,

and bound by holy fetters.

Yet, some say, God will remove the chains.

They say God only wears them for a time.

Was God ever really hindered?
