Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God exalted hims to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Christ's humility brought about eternal glory...As I look at the results of Christ's death, there are a cople of thiughts that come to mind.
1. Christ's death on the cross and resurrection is what set Him apart. This is the exaltation of Jesus Christ. This is the one we should worship (He is worthy) and this is the one we will worship (He is all powerfull...notice verse 11). We must humble ourselves before such an awesome God.
2. Christ is our example for not only our action in suffering, but also our motive and attitude in suffering. Hebrews 12 vs. 2 says that it was for the joy set before Him (the joy seen in Phil 2) that Christ endured the cross, and we are to consider Him as we too suffer.
Pilippians 2 is a beautiful picture of bith Christ's humility and supremacy. This is our God!!!!!
