Section 11

never been a name in history higher than the name of the Lord Jesus. The highest name in the universe, the greatest name, is the name of Jesus.

In Philippians 2:10 and 11 Paul goes on to say, "That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." The name is the expres sion of the sum total of what the Lord Jesus is in His Person and work. The words "in the name" mean in the sphere and element of all the Lord is. It is in this way we worship the Lord and pray to Him.

We should not only call on the name of the Lord Jesus, but also bow our knees in His name. This is to worship Him.

In Philippians 2:10 we see three levels of the universe: heaven, earth, and under the earth. Those who are in heaven are angels, those who are on earth are men, and those who are under the earth are the dead. The day is coming when those on every level will bow their knees and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. To openly con fess that Jesus Christ is Lord is to call on the Lord (Rom. 10:9-10, 12-13). The Lord Jesus as a man was made the Lord in His ascension by God

(Acts 2:36). Thus, every tongue should confess that He is Lord. This confession is to the glory of God the Father. The Greek word rendered "to" means resulting in. Our confessing that Jesus is Lord results in the glory of God the Father. This is the great end of all that Christ is and has done in His Person and work (1 Cor. 15:24-28).
