Thought for the day:
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself
and became obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross.Â
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him
and given Him the name which is above every name, Â
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, Â
and that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:8-11
