”and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 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 2:8-11 KJV
The seven steps Jesus took from the Throne to the Cross: He emptied Himself; He became a servant; He became human; He humbled Himself; He became vulnerable revealed as a Man; He was obedient until His death; He died a criminal’s death on the Cross. The seven steps of exaltation that God gave Jesus after the Cross: God exalted Him and multiplied His greatness; He possesses the greatest Name of all; His sovereign authority causes every knee to bow; God decreed that everyone in heaven bows in worship of the God-Man; God decreed that every demonic being bows to the God-Man; God decreed that every tongue proclaims that Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh; God received the glory and honour of sharing His Throne with the God-Man. Glory to God! Let’s give glory, honour, power and praise to the Name above all names - Jesus. Amen!
