“EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME!”

 Romans 14:10-12                             (ESV)

“10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will ALL stand before the judgment seat of GOD;

11 for it is written, "As I live, says the LORD, “EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME”, and every tongue shall confess to GOD." 

12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to GOD.”

With all of the uproar about people kneeling during the national anthem, the absurdity of the practice is down right baffling. My mind cannot conjure up a scenario where I would ask, nor require, anyone else to bow to me!  No King, President, nor potentate is worthy of a fellow human bowing to them.  We need to move past thinking that one human is better than others!  

JESUS CHRIST, on the other hand, is another story!  HE is PREEMINENT (Colossians 1:15-20), which means HE “surpasses all others”!!  

Why do we pass judgement on our brothers?  Do they sin differently than we do?  Do they worship a different god than I do?  Maybe they have totally different lifestyles than me?  Maybe they don’t believe that the BIBLE is TRUTH?  One thing is for certain, we will ALL stand before the JUDGEMENT SEAT of GOD one day, and we will answer for what they have Believed, or what they have not believed???

Just as sure as we ALL are breathing oxygen now, ONE DAY “EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME”!  Some of us have a HOPE that is indescribable.  Some of us don’t!  One thing is as certain as the sun is shining though, “EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME” and nothing else!!!
