Friday, October 4: Jesus Christ is Lord

Read Philippians 2:9-11

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.

Reflect

God the Father lifted up the Son, Jesus, to the highest place because of Jesus' obedience to the Father. Jesus carried the sins of the world to the cross and died. How amazing that the perfect man should die the most shameful death so that we wouldn't have to face eternal punishment!

Respond

God raised Jesus to his original position at the Father's right hand, where he reigns forever as our Lord and Savior. How can we do anything less than thank and praise Jesus and make every effort to follow him?
