Jesus Is Lord

God elevated [Christ Jesus] to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST don’t have any respect for Jesus.

Doesn’t it aggravate you when they use his name in vain or disparage or ridicule him? It’s hard to remember to pray that people will find out the truth and seek forgiveness for their sin.

Thankfully, this disrespect won’t last forever. God assures all of us that eventually Jesus will be recognized for who he is. His glorious act of saving the world will be known and revered from one end of the earth to the other. No one will fail to understand his greatness, perfection, love, and goodness. No one will ever ridicule him again.

Though we must live in this corrupt world, hearing the insults and taunts of unbelievers about the person we know as the greatest person who ever lived, one day everything will change. Our Lord will reveal himself. All those people will see their folly and bow down, realizing their mistake. At the same time, we will see our Lord exalted and blessed in ways only he deserves. Count on it. Today’s Bible promise is that although Jesus may be taking the brunt of verbal shots now, one day he will gain the glory he has deserved ever since he created our world.
