Exalted

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2.9-11

Jesus is not real popular today. He is more well known as and invective or an object of scorn. People have no time for Him today. If people think about him at all it is usually in a very negative light.

We hear such blasphemy and mockery and see things are demeaning to Him. He is called all kind of names and all sorts of insults are hurled at Him. It is shocking and disturbing, and it ought to break our hearts. It can get pretty discouraging when that is going on all around us.

But, let’s not lose heart. The day is coming when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father. One day His Lordship will be seen and acknowledged by all.

As the songwriter write ‘what a day that will be.’ Evil cannot win out. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. What a wonderful day when the whole world sees the truth and acknowledges Him.
