EVERY KNEE, EVERY TONGUE
“God also has highly exalted Him and
given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and
of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” -PHILIPPIANS
2:9-11
Christ will have the preeminence in all things, but it
will not be the forced submission of a dictator who forces everyone to
bow down to him whether they want to or not. It is true that some seem
to bow down more easily than others; some are quick to confess Jesus as
Lord, others confess Him as Lord when they are older, while some seem to
hold out until the last possible moment. Some apparently die having
made no obvious confession of faith at all.
But in the end, we
have the glorious promise. Note how Scripture includes “every tongue”
and “every knee.” The Bible affirms that “He is able even to subdue all
things unto Himself” (Philippians 3:21).
