The Humility and Exaltation of Christ

"Who although He existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself taking the form of a bondservant and being made in the likeness of men.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name that the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."

That is one of the great portraits of Christ in the Scripture.  Jesus asked the question one day of His own followers, He said, "Who do men say that I am?"    And the question, "Who is Jesus Christ?" is the most important question to be answered.  Who do men say that I am?  And they responded, "Some say you're Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
