Phil 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I was able to visit with a person yesterday who is Jewish and talk with them for a time. As we talked our conversation turned to the Bible and to Jesus and they expressed their views as to who Jesus was. When I wanted to talk about who Jesus Christ is they would hear nothing of it, nothing of Him. Don’t read from the Bible anything having to do with the name of Jesus, don’t pray in the name of Jesus, they wanted nothing to do with Jesus. I thought of Philippians chapter 2 and what that person will do one day. There is coming a time when they will bow before the Lord Jesus Christ, there is a time coming when they will confess who Jesus Christ is, a time when they will believe the Bible. How sad it will be if that person never gets saved, never repents and turns to Jesus Christ, never see Him as the Son of God, never see Him as the Savior of the world, how sad it will be if the first time they acknowledge Jesus is at the judgment. There is going to be that time when all the world bows before Him, all the world confesses Him, but that will not be a time for salvation, that will be a time for judgment. Have you confessed the name of Jesus now, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. That individual did accept gospel tracks from me, pray that they will read them, pray that they will look to Jesus Christ, pray that they will be saved.
