Exalted Name

Have you ever found yourself at awe of the presence of another person? Perhaps you have met a celebrity that you admire. Maybe you have met someone who is a world leader. It could be that you met some universally recognized or personal hero. Whoever, it may have been, your feelings were overwhelmed and you felt a sense of honor being in their presence and acknowledged by them.

Philippians 2:9-11 says, “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Worship of Jesus Christ as Lord of all is our ultimate purpose. We can choose to honor Him in this life and forevermore. No name matches the exalted status of Jesus Christ. He is God’s Son and our Savior and Lord. He is worthy of all honor and glory. At the end of time everyone will bow and worship Him.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
