Philippians 2:11

Verse 11

11. Confess The thing to be confessed is the universal Lordship of Jesus Christ. Men hated, persecuted, and killed him; and in every age they reject him: Satan tempted and would have destroyed him, and, with his legions of devils, still contests the question of the sovereignty of the earth. But all haters and opposers of him will finally, in love or in fear, confess that the Jesus of the cross is Lord of the universe, and to him the unwilling knee will, in the day of coming judgment, be compelled to bow. Such honour done to Jesus, and such acknowledgment of his Lordship, will redound to the glory of God the Father, whose Son he is, and who has thus exalted him.
