Exaltation and Name of Jesus

The crucified one raised high and given the name at which every knee shall bow

This concept proclaims that God exalted the crucified Christ and gave him the name above every name, before which all are to bow. It draws on Philippians 2:9-11, where humiliation gives way to exaltation. The passage links Christ's lowly death with his glorification, presenting his name as worthy of universal honor and his lordship as confessed by all creation.
