Philippians 2:9

Verse 9

b. The exaltation given because of this humiliation, Philippians 2:9-11 .

9. Wherefore In compensation for this self-emptying and self humiliation, God the Father highly exalted him in his ascension after his resurrection, and enthronement as universal King. It is the Son incarnate, the God-man, that is thus exalted, the humanity entering with the eternal Logos, from whom it is henceforth forever inseparable, into the glory once laid aside but now resumed.

Name Simply Jesus. This name of his humiliation is now the name of his glory. The name that was once the jest of the scoffer is made the highest in the universe.
