“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:10).
Recently some believers were standing on a busy corner in a large city in the U.S.A., holding up signs with Bible verses on them with large print. Many cars passed by that street corner at rush hour, so that many people read those Bible verses. On one of the signs was today’s verse, reminding us that someday everyone will be compelled to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus.
Suddenly the man in one car slammed on his brakes and came to a stop right in front of the believer holding up that sign. He rolled down his window and shouted, “Never! Never!” Then he rolled up his window and went on his way.
Sadly, this is the defiant response to God’s claims by many in this world. They do not want to come to the Lord Jesus and be saved, and they think that they can defy Him. But someday they will be compelled to bow the knee and confess that He is Lord. How much better it is to come to Him now, and own Him as Lord in the time of His grace!
