Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
The world says, "Look out for number one because no one else
will." The natural mind (the Bible calls it the carnal mind) seeks
self-gratification. Let me go first. This is good for me.
God says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
We saw the mind of Christ yesterday. He humbled Himself to be a servant
to others. What did that get Him? Some might say, "Well, no
one appreciated what He did and He wound up on the cross." That's the
carnal mind's way of thinking.
But God gave Him a name which is above every name. He is the very Son
of God. He is worthy of every knee bowing and every tongue confessing.
There is a promise given to us when we bow before Him. "Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due
time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1
Peter 5:6-7)
In Christ Jesus, there is great consolation, comfort, and joy.
