Philippians 2:9

“Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and gave unto Him the name which is above every name”

“Wherefore”: Because of such self-sacrifice and selflessness. Someone pointed out that Adam and Eve "grasped" at self-interest and lost everything. Jesus humbled Himself and was exalted. This same principle is true in the life of every individual. Jesus pointed out that self-exaltation is not the path to eternal glory (Luke 18:9). In fact, Jesus also taught that all "self-grasping" ultimately results in the complete destitution of self (Matthew 16:25). “God”: The Father.

“Highly exalted Him”: See Matthew 28:18; Ephesians 1:20; Hebrews 1:3. “Exalted Him exceedingly” (Alf). Jesus lived by the same rule that He had laid down to others (Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11). “The name which is above every name”: “Which stands above all other names” (TCNT). Of course the question is, “What name is under consideration”? From the immediate context, one could equally argue for the names "Jesus" or "Lord", or the complete phrase, "Jesus Christ is Lord" (Philippians 2:10-11). Various writers remind us that in the ancient world, one's "name" was always more than. mere designation. The fact that Jesus bears the title "Lord", means that Jesus is Lord, that is, the sovereign of the entire universe (Acts 2:36). Or the fact that He bears the name "Jesus" means that He is the Savior of the world (Matthew 1:23; John 1:29; John 3:16).
