**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. I’d like to dive into a very powerful passage from your letter to the Philippians. Specifically, can you share the essence of what you wrote in Philippians 2:9-11?

**Author (Paul):** Of course! That portion of the letter highlights the supreme authority and exaltation of Jesus Christ. I wanted to convey that because of His humility and obedience—even to the point of death on a cross—God has honored Him above all.

**Interviewer:** Interesting! Can you elaborate on what you mean by God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name?

**Author (Paul):** Certainly! By “exalted,” I mean that God has elevated Jesus to the highest place in heaven. It illustrates the divine recognition of His sacrifice and righteousness. The name “above every name” signifies Jesus’ unique authority and the ultimate reverence He deserves.

**Interviewer:** That’s profound. And what does it mean when you say that “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow”?

**Author (Paul):** Well, that was a way of expressing that all creation—whether in heaven, on earth, or under the earth—will acknowledge Jesus’ lordship. It’s a recognition of His power and the rightful place He holds as the Messiah. This brings unity and reverence in recognizing who He truly is.

**Interviewer:** Lastly, you conclude with that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Why is that confession so significant?

**Author (Paul):** It’s significant because it encapsulates the essence of faith. Confessing Jesus as Lord not only affirms His authority but indicates a personal commitment to follow Him. It’s a declaration of belief that unites all believers and reflects the truth of God’s sovereignty in Christ.

**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing such deep insights! It’s incredible how your words continue to inspire and guide millions.

**Author (Paul):** Thank you! It is my hope that through these writings, people may come to understand the depth of Christ’s love and the glory of His name.
