The Messiah Poem
2:6-11, Who, though being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God as something to hold on to but rather, he emptied himself and became a servant being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the very highest place and gave him the name that is above every other name. So that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Isa 45:23).
