At the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Throughout my life, I’ve heard that over and over and over again. Those words make my heart soar! At the very mention of His Name, immediate response is humbling & confession. I was meditating on this and went to Philippians 2:3-11. In those verses I noticed something that I hadn’t really paid attention to…the depth never hit until now. In verse 10 it includes “of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;” Websters dictionary defines “every” as: “each and all of the members of a group considered singly and without exception…each and all of a series of entities or intervals as specified.” At the mention of His Name, every thing in Heaven, Earth, & UNDER the Earth will bow and confess. Not everything, but every THING will proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord!!!
Verses 3-9 speak on how we should consider ourselves not above anyone else and treat them as such. The ultimate example of that was Jesus Christ, who even though He is in the form of God, made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being obedient until the point of death. Here’s the part I love: God gave Him the Name above EVERY name…and it’s at the mention of THAT Name, not muhammad, confusious or any other gods name, but the Wonderful, Precious, Holy Name of Jesus that EVERY thing in heaven, earth & under the earth will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
I realize that I keep repeating the same thing over and over, but do you get it? Do you understand that no matter your station in life or how high up the ladder you have gone, at the very utterance of His Matchless Name you will bow and you will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
