Written by Mark D. Roberts, a contemporary author.
Identifying Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God gives him unique authority on earth, authority over God’s people, including you and me. When we confess Jesus to be the Messiah, we are saying that he is not only the King of the Jews, but also our King. His royalty is not just a matter of theological affirmation, but also a truth that shapes every moment of our lives… All praise be to you, Jesus, because you are not just the King of Israel, and not just the King of creation, but my King. I honor you today with my words and deeds. May I live my whole life in service to you, O King.
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. [Philippians 2:9-11]
