Advent Devotionals: Day 20
Lord of All
Philippians 2:9–11 - “Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (NASB)
These beautiful verses speak to the fact that Jesus Christ is the Lord of All. Yes, He is Lord over our family, people in our community and workplace. But we must expand our thinking beyond that. Jesus Christ is the Lord over people in faraway countries and heavenly beings. Furthermore, He is Lord over people in past history and future history. One day everyone will declare the reality that the majestic name of Jesus Christ is over all! Every knee will bow of those who are in heaven and earth and under the earth.
I still remember the day my foster son looked at me in amazement when I told him the name of Jesus was not a swear word, but a real person and our God who deserves respect. Jesus was and is Lord of everything. Little by little his understanding grew until that moment his little heart responded to the call and he accepted Christ as his Lord!
Prayer: Pray this Christmas season God will give us opportunities to share the Good News that Christ Jesus is the Lord of All.
