BOW THE KNEE TO CHRIST NOW

“Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.” (Isa. 52:13)

This prophecy is concerning the Christ, the Servant of God (cf. Matt. 20:28; Mark 10:45). In dealing prudently, not only did Christ behave himself wisely by never sinning (1 Pet. 2:22), He accomplished the work His Father gave Him to do (John 17:4). What an example!

The Father thus exalted Him and gave Him a name above every name (Phil. 2:9). Every knee should bow (show respect or awe) at the name of Jesus (Phil. 2:10) and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:11). There is a time coming when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess (cf. Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11). Every one of us shall give account to God for the things done in the body whether good or bad (cf. Rom. 14:12; 2 Cor. 5:10).

Dear reader, please bow the knee to Christ now while it is in your power to do so! Submit to His loving will and serve God just as Christ served Him to His glory. Do not fight against God for such leads only to destruction (cf. Acts 5:38-39; Jas. 4:4-10).
