Can you imagine asking " Christ " anything - standing before Him in all his Glory?
Luke 23:9 " " He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. "
Not only does Jesus' refusal to defend Himself show His humility, but
His refraining from venting His wrath against the King who senselessly
killed His friend who was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets
(Mt. 11:11), also displays His humble nature.
Because of Christ's humility and obedience to the Father, God gave Him a
name that is above every name in heaven, earth and under the earth.
There is no exemption for anyone or anything from coming under the
Lordship of Jesus. He is Lord of ALL.
Jesus has not only been exalted above every "being" that has a
name, but He is also highly exalted above anything else that can be
named. If you can put a name on it, Jesus is above it. Sickness,
poverty, depression, anger - everything has to bow its knee to the
Lordship of Jesus.
Every knee of men, angels, and demons will bow and confess that Jesus is
Lord. Those who have denied His existence will bow in worship.
All those who have spent their lives rebelling His authority will finally bow in submission.
Every being from all ages will ultimately bow and worship Jesus. If we
bow our knee to His Lordship now, we will enjoy a wonderful life here on
earth, and an eternity in His blessings hereafter. Those who deny His
rightful claim to the Lordship of their lives will suffer for it in this
life as well as in the next.
They
still will have to bow their knee to His authority, so there is nothing
to gain and everything to lose if they refuse to make Jesus Lord of
their life.
Are you really ready?
