How could the creator of the universe, the Word of God (John
1) come to earth to become one of us? We can’t fathom the King of Kings and the
Lord of Lords giving up the heavenly realms to visit earth and to take on the
suffering of the world. But He did it steadfastly, with intent and purpose,
with the foreknowledge of the pain He would endure. And He counted it joy. He
humbled Himself to be a servant to all.
Who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be
used to His own advantage. Rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by being obedient to death-even death
on a cross! Philippians 2:6-8
If Jesus could humble Himself to
be a servant to all, how can we not humble ourselves before Him in awe and
wonder at what He has given. Exalt His name today. Hold it in the highest
regard. He is the Savior. This humble servant is alive and well at the right hand
of God and will one day rule the heavens and the earth in perfection.
Therefore,
God exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
Lord,
One day every knee will bow before You. We bow today, with
humble hearts, recognizing the name above all names. It is Jesus Christ, our
Lord.
Amen
