Text —Philippians 2:9-11
Message
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is far beyond a cliché used in Christendom. It represents the deity, superiority, uniqueness, finality and designation of our Savior Jesus Christ. It also implies supreme authority; and acknowledges Him as Ruler and Master of all. Biblically, the phrase “The Lord Jesus” appears 72 times in the New Testament.
Our Lord Jesus Christ condescended so low for our sakes and took upon Him the form of a servant and died a painful and shameful death on the cross. As a reward for His humility, Christ was exalted by the Father, honouring Him with a name that is above every other name – that at His name, every knee should bow. For us today, S. M. Zwemer rightly states: “Unless Jesus is Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.” So make Jesus your Lord today by first acknowledging your sinful state, then confess those sins to God in prayer and forsake them completely. This transforms you from, “all of self and none of Thee” to “none of self and all of Thee.”
