What a sign of homage or reverence the bowed knee is! Subjects usually bow down before their king, servants before their masters and saints before their Lord and Saviour.
There are many illustrations in Scripture of people bowing the knee before others whom they honored. Sometimes such honor was shown to an unworthy object, such as a piece of wood or stone. Certainly the Lord Jesus is worthy of such honor, and, while here, many bowed before Him. Do we not often bow before Him in prayer each day? Some people never do, but they will bow their knees before the Lord Jesus in a coming day. How good it is to fall before Him now as sinners, receive Him as Saviour and then bow our knees before Him in worship!
