Perhaps this image could assist with Leithart's formulation of an assymmetrical account of Triune life (after all, 1 Cor 12 also starts with some pretty trinitarian language). Thus, for example, Jesus would be the obvious example of the more shameful member who, precisely in his shamefulness, is granted this special honour. I don't know... just a half formed thought that popped into my head.
