Every Tongue Should Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

“Wherefore God 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 the name that God chose for His Son and announced it to Joseph and Mary by the angel, Gabriel. (Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31) His is a name above every name. There have been numerous personalities who have strutted across the pages of history who thought they were important. But they are forgotten names in dust-covered books of men who never receive honorable mention today.

Sadly, many folks will not bow the knee before Jesus nor proclaim Him as the Lord of their lives. But there is coming a time when He shall be recognized universally as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But for multitudes it will be too late for them. Saying, “He is Lord,” and proclaiming, “He is my Lord,” are totally different.

Allow me to urge you to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and recognize Him as the very Lord of your life as you surrender your all to Him. Someone correctly said, “If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.”
