Every Knee Will Bow

Can I ask, what relevance does all this "Jesus" stuff have for your life, here in the 21st century? I mean, amidst your day-to-day, the things that occupy you, the joys, the struggles, what relevance can a rabbi of 2,000 years ago possibly have? The day-to-day does consume us, doesn't it? I have to get through this, I have to keep going with that, I have to achieve what I've set out to achieve - bringing up children, eking out an existence, carving out a career. But all that getting through, keeping going, achieving - all of it - will one day come to an end … perhaps more abruptly than any of us would care to imagine. And whilst Jesus has made an incredible difference in my life, and I know He can make an amazing difference in yours, when it's all over, then what? Come on, I'm asking you seriously amidst the pressures of your day-to-day, then what? Philippians 2:8-11 He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NRSV) Friend, Jesus laid His life down for you. No matter what you have pressing in on you, He is the King of kings, the Lord of Lords, and one day, He will reign over all. He came for you. That's God's Word. Fresh … for you … today.
