STUDY NOTES
PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11
BIBLE TEACHER: CLIFTON JONES
THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES IS JESUS
Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name:
In Philippians 2:9 we find that there is “a name which is above every name”
“Wherefore” turns our attention to the previous verse, Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
The man who humbled himself and died on the cross is JESUS, which is why we are told,
GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM
In the original language, this is the only time “hath highly exalted” is found in the N.T.
But the explanation of the exaltation of Jesus is often found in scripture
Many verses tell us why Jesus was exalted and given the name above every name
The original is making a strong point, Jesus has been exalted beyond measure
Jesus has been exalted to the highest place, the ultimate supreme state of majesty
Paul searched for a word to express the state of the glorious exaltation of Jesus
To understand what scripture is telling us we must begin with the truth of the death of Jesus
Paul said that Jesus was “obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”
Liberal theologians deny that Jesus died on the cross, attempting to deny His resurrection
We must accept the death and resurrection of Jesus in-order to be saved, Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.
It is true, Jesus died and was raised “from the dead,” the truth that we must believe to be saved
We can be saved because Jesus paid the penalty of our sin by dying on the cross
We can be saved because Jesus is alive “from the dead,” He lives to gives us a new spiritual life
To understand the exaltation of Jesus we must understand His resurrection from the dead
Read and study the first sermon preached after the beginning of the Church Age in Acts 2:14-41
Peter tells us that he is talking about “Jesus of Nazareth,” Act 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did
by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
God proved to the world, in many different ways who Jesus was, He was the Messiah, the Savior
Peter states the truth of the death of Jesus, Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
The reason He was crucified is because He was the Messiah, “slain” means “to put to death”
Because Jesus was the Messiah death could not claim Him, Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
God raised Jesus from the dead, which is known as the resurrection, Act 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised
up, whereof we all are witnesses.
(There were many witnesses, 1 Cor.
15:1-11)
Peter states the fact of the exaltation of Jesus, Act 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now
see and hear.
Then Peter said, Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that
same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
(He is exalted)
Peter preached it again, Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a
tree.
Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give
repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Paul said it this way in Philippians 2:9, “God hath highly exalted Him”
Scripture often gives us the evidence of the exaltation of Jesus by stating His present position
We know where Jesus is today and why He is there, the price of redemption had been paid in full,
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of
the Majesty on high; (He is exalted)
Jesus is exalted to the “right hand of God,” the place of supreme honor, power, and authority
The day is coming when all of creation will recognize and honor Jesus as the “Majesty on High”
He has already “obtained a more excellent name,” Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels,
as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
“Being made” identifies with the “Incarnation,” Jesus took upon Himself flesh (Philippians 2:7)
The Person and Work of Jesus Christ in the flesh is that which is “so much better”
Hebrews 1:4 is the first of 13 times that we find the word “better” in the book of Hebrews
Because of Jesus we have a “Better Salvation” with “Better Blessings”
Jesus is “better,” and His life is “better” for us, Jesus is “better than the angels”
Jesus is of higher rank and status than the angels, Jesus is “much superior” to the angels
“Angels” are an order of heavenly beings created by God, they serve God and minister to man
They are superior to man in power and intelligence, but Jesus is superior to the angels
Jesus came to the earth to do something for man that angels could not do, Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who
was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he
by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Jesus became man in-order to go to the cross for the sins of man
Because of His fulfilled ministry upon earth, He has inherited “a more excellent name”
AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME
God has bestowed upon “Him” a gift, the word “given” is the word meaning “graced”
God has “graced Him with “a name,” God has willingly and graciously given Him “a name”
In the original there is an emphasis upon “name,” it is “the Name”
It is “the Name” which is above every name, no other name compares to “His Name”
No other name will ever be of the office, rank, dignity, or worth of “His Name”
“His Name” surpasses every name in every way, so, what is “His Name?”
THE NAME OF JESUS
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth;
“That” expresses the purpose of God giving the name above every name
In scripture names represent the total person and sums up all that a person is in character
This verse refers to a particular name, there is only one such name that is above every name
Literally the Greek reads “in” the name of Jesus, all that is stated is because of His name
That which was graciously bestowed was not “a” name, but “the Name”
We must remember why His name is “Jesus,” Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
The name Jesus presents Him as the Savior and presents Him as the One sacrificed for our sins,
Mat 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
The sign was meant to ridicule and mock Jesus, but it was a revelation of the truth of Jesus
His resurrection revealed who He was, women came to the tomb where Jesus was buried
Listen to what the angel told them, Mat 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not
ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Yes, Jesus was crucified, Yes, Jesus died, Yes, Jesus arose from the dead, Mat 28:6 He is not here: for he
is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
