LIFE IS UNCERTAINTY: EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Life Is Uncertainty
a) Isaiah that are quoted in the New Testament leads us to think about the uncertainty of this life compared to the certainty of what lies beyond.
2. Every Knee Shall Bow
Isaiah 45:23
23 “I have sworn by Myself,
The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.
a) When the dead are raised by the power of Jesus Christ, all mankind will recognize him as the Ruler of all and to him "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess."
b) Paul quotes this passage in his letter to the Romans and applies it to the final judgment of all mankind (Romans 14:10-12). He also alludes to it in his letter to the Philippians (Philippians 2:9-13).
c) The thing to think about here is not only the generality that every knee shall bow, but the inclusion of your own knee in that. Take a look at your knee right now. Sooner or later that knee is going to bend before the Lord Jesus Christ in all his power and glory. Why not bend it now and acknowledge Jesus as your Lord before he comes? Then on that day you can worship Jesus with joy unspeakable rather than with the utmost terror and regret.
