Philippians 2:8-11

Philippians 2:8-11 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also 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. In our verses for yesterday and today, we see Jesus putting off His Godness and putting on His human body. So from His throne in heaven Jesus goes down, and down, and down. He goes from His throne in heaven to a lowly little baby, and finally to die on a cruel rugged cross. But because of His obedience and sacrifice, God the Father lifted Him up! What happened to Jesus on Easter Sunday morning? He came up out of the grave! He came up alive! But then He went back to His glorious place on the throne of heaven at the side of God the Father. Now Jesus is with the Father taking our part. He talks to God the Father for us! Jesus went down, down, and down – for us! But then He went up, up, and up for us! What a wonderful Savior and Friend is He!
