Philippians 2:9-11 - The Exaltation of Christ

Jesus emptied himself and became flesh. He humbled himself to obedience. He was obedient even to death, and not just any death--the death of the cross. He who was very God of very God became human that he might die the most ignominious death ever devised.

How did the Father respond? One word: vindication.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
