And they cried before him, Bow the knee: and [Pharaoh] made [Joseph] ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Here we find Joseph in triumph. After years of rejection and a long period in prison he is exalted to the top position in the land. This is just a picture of what God thinks of Jesus. He was taken from the lowest place and is now raised to the highest position in the universe - head over all things. Why? Because He was faithful, and obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. How about bending the knees of our hearts today as we spend a little time meditating on the Lord’s death? Just remember that He willingly gave His life so that we might live. He took the punishment for the sins that we committed. And God has highly exalted Him.
