Today’s scripture: Philippians 2:9-11
One day, every single human being—past, present, future—will kneel at the feet of Jesus. Everyone will confess that He is Lord.
For some of us, that will be a joyful day of celebration! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. For others, though, they will finally recognize that Jesus is the Lord they rejected. The Bible describes a people who will wail, weep, and gnash their teeth (see Matt. 24:51; 25:30; Luke 13:28). These people will know only an eternity separated from their God.
This day will come. So what are we to do?
First, I believe we believers need to constantly and continually exalt Jesus now. Worship Him. Praise Him. We need to spend time with our Father and know Him more deeply by reading His word.
Second, we need to share Christ with our non-believing friends and family. We need to seek opportunities to tell others about the joy of knowing Christ, the freedom that comes from serving Him.
Don’t
you want to know you influenced others to follow Christ, so they can bow a knee
and confess their love for our Savior? I know I do.
