Philippians 2:9-11 (HCSB)
9 For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow— of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth—
11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Observation:
There are two things in today’s focal passage that God says about Jesus. These are acts of God.
- God highly exalted Jesus.
- God gave Jesus the name that is above every name.
What is that name? It is revealed in this verse.
Philippians 2:11 (HCSB)
11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
In verse ten Paul writes, “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow – of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth”.
Since every knee will bow someday, why not bow to him today while you are still on earth, and it can do you some good?
Romans 10:9-10 (HCSB)
9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, I delight to lift my voice and agree with You, “Jesus is Lord”.
There is nothing that man can do to Jesus. However, there is something that Jesus can do for you.
Romans 10:13 (HCSB)
13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Father, I thank You for sending Jesus into the world to make it possible for sinners like me to be redeemed. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
