PHILIPPIANS—NOTE ON Philippians 2:9 By humbling himself on the cross out of love, Jesus demonstrated that he truly shared the divine nature of God, who is love (1 John 4:8). For this very reason (Therefore), God raised him to life and highly exalted him, entrusting him with the rule of the cosmos and giving him the name that is above every name. Following his death and resurrection, Jesus received a status and authority that had not been his before the incarnation (compare Matthew 28:18; Acts 2:33).
