Meditation

Reader,

In yesterday's passage, Abram refused the King of Sodom's offer, swearing by Jehovah El Elyon, the Lord God Most High, that he would take nothing. His allegiance and his provision came from one source alone.

Philippians 2 is Paul's answer to the question of who that Most High God is. At the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The name above every name.

Jesus is Jehovah Elyon.

Today's text is Phillipians 2: 5-11

Imitating Christ’s Humility

⁵ In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

⁶ Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
​⁷ rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
​⁸ And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

⁹ Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
​¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
​¹¹ and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

I and the Father are one.
