The Bible says at the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow, and EVERY tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The actual Greek in this passage says MUST bow. The fact is there will come a day in the life of EVERY person ever born when he will bow to Jesus and confess Him as Lord!
The only question that remains is WHEN.
God has given man the free will to accept His gift of everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ, or reject that gift. That is a choice each person must make during his life.
The Bible warns us that tomorrow is promised to no one. That is why the Word says TODAY is the day of salvation. The ultimate choice each living person has to make is to bow before Jesus and confess Him as Savior and Lord, as the way to receive God’s free gift of everlasting life. To reject Christ is to choose to spend eternity separated from God.
EVEN THE PERSON WHO CHOOSES TO REJECT CHRIST DURING HIS LIFE WILL COME A MOMENT WHEN HE MUST STAND BEFORE GOD, WHEN HE WILL BOW BEFORE JESUS AND CONFESS HIM TO BE LORD.
When Pontius Pilate died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When Nero died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When Buddha died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When Gandhi died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When Hitler died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When Madelyn Murray O’Hare died, she bowed her knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When 9/11 hijacker Mohammad Attah died, he bowed his knee to Jesus and confessed Him to be Lord!
When any person dies rejecting Christ, before he is cast into everlasting darkness he will bow to Jesus and confess Him to be Lord.
May I leave you with this most beautiful passage of Scripture from the Book of Philippians:
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross!
“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:6-11
