Philippians
2:9
"Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every
name..."
For
Jesus, Graciousness + Guts + Giving + Grit = Glory. Just one of those equations
in salvation math that doesn't make much human sense, but from the perspective
of faith, it is powerful wisdom. Jesus came to our world because of the
graciousness of God. Jesus had the "guts" to leave behind heaven and
face the hardships of humanity, and give of himself to serve others. Jesus had
the grit to endure the horrors and humiliation of the cross. So God has shared
with Jesus his glory and placed him above all others. The apostle Paul wants to
remind us that God doesn't forget our sacrifices, our obedience, and our
hardships. He does honor them with his pleasure and his glory because Jesus'
sacrifice has made us holy!
Peace
be unto you
Really above all, left all HE had 2 receive greater glory.
