Praise Focus-Lordship of Jesus

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus is found in Philippians 2:9 to 11.

“God exalted him (Jesus) to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Jesus came to this earth as a gift from God the Father. He was faithful to His mission. He never sinned. He came in humility to serve and sacrifice Himself for the sake of our salvation. His sacrifice was acceptable to God and sufficient for our greatest need for forgiveness. He suffered on a cross to accomplish God’s redemptive plan.  His love for us wins our allegiance. His faithfulness wins our loyalty. His name is worthy of our praise and devotion.

The Lordship of Jesus is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
