EvenFall: Exaltation To Glory; Phil. 2:9-11

Delivered during the Evenfall; Sunday Evening Worship, 4/21/2024. Paul completes his description of the Advent of Christ with a powerful depiction of what has been called His "super-exaltation". After beautifully expressing the Humiliation and Incarnation of Christ, leading to His Crucifixion, death and burial-- Paul now turns his attention to the glorious Resurrection, Ascension, and Coronation of Christ. All of this and more goes together to describe the transcendent exaltation of Christ, the extent of His dominion, the all-inclusiveness of His subjects, and the absolute sovereignty of His reign. We will celebrate along with all the saints and angels of heaven, as He is bestowed the "name above all names" and honored even by those who have opposed Him. Ultimately we will bow our knees in homage to our King, professing with our mouths that He is Lord, and rejoice in the realization that even now He sees us, protects us, intercedes for us, and prepares a place for us. God's glory will be our encouragement as we witness Christ's exaltation to glory.
