Christ - Our Lord

“Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11

Some people just cannot seem to get excited about Jesus Christ. Perhaps they have lost sight of who He was and what He did for us. Perhaps they have never known.

Jesus is the Son of God - our reigning Lord. He was that before time began, and He will be that at time’s ending. He was in the Garden with Adam, with Noah on the Ark, with Abraham on the mount, with Moses in the wilderness, and on and on.

He loved us, even in our sin - and in the fulness of time, left heaven’s glory to become a man. To live with us, teach us, and die for us. He gave to us the love of God, and we put Him on a cross - yet, that was the eternal plan of God. He know what we would do and, yet, He came anyway.

And the Father has highly exalted Him and bestowed upon Him the name above every name. He is not only our Redeemer - He is our Lord!! May His name be praised, and may God give us the grace to serve Him.

“For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11
