The Exaltation of Christ

Spurgeon preaches that after Jesus suffered, died, and was humiliated on earth, God highly honored Him by raising Him to the highest position in heaven where everyone—angels, people on earth, and even demons—will eventually bow down and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. Christians should find comfort in knowing that even when they face troubles and people mock them, their Savior is now crowned as King over everything, and the same God who lifted Jesus from suffering to glory will one day do the same for them. The sermon emphasizes that just as Jesus was exalted because He humbled Himself, Christians who suffer for Christ and humble themselves will also be honored by God, and one day every person will have to acknowledge Jesus as Lord whether they want to or not.A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on November 2, 1856.
