Every knee shall bow

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." - Isaiah 45:22-23  

There is only one God – our heavenly Father. He put on flesh and blood to die for our sins. He came in His name of salvation and mercy, “JESUS.” 

"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

 

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:6-11  

God said in Isaiah 45:22-23, that all should look to Him to be saved. He said, “I am God, and there is none else.” He also said, “That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear (confess)."  

We find the fulfillment of His word when He put on a human body to provide the sacrifice that would save the world, before whom all the world would bow. God said of His word, “The word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return.” 

Philippians 2:11 says, “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  

How would confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord be to the glory of God the Father? 

Because God the Father is in Jesus Christ. The Father gets the glory when every knee bows to Christ, because everyone is acknowledging that Jesus Christ is His body, and that Jesus is His name. The Father gets the glory, because He shed His own blood to reconcile the world to Himself.  

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." - Acts 20:28 

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." - 2 Corinthians 5:19  

When every knee bows to God’s body, the Father gets all the glory, because that is His body! 

"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ... And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." - John 14:9-10, 13  

When whatsoever we ask in Jesus name, the Father does, the Father is glorified. We know the Father is in Jesus, and Jesus is His name.
