Context of Philippians 2:9

7But He emptied Himself— taking on the form of a slave, becoming the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man. 8He humbled Himself— becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father.

Commentaries on Philippians 2:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him - If by his humiliation he has merited pardon and final salvation for the whole world, is it to be wondered that the human body, in which this fullness of the Godhead dwelt, and in which the punishment due to our sins was borne upon the tree, should be exalted above all human and all created beings? And this is the fact; for he hath given him a name, , the name, which is above every name: is prefixed to here by…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Wherefore - As a reward of this humiliation and these sufferings. The idea is, that there was an appropriate reward for it, and that that was bestowed upon him by his exaltation as Mediator to the right hand of God; compare the notes at Hebrews 2:9. God also hath highly exalted him - As Mediator. Though he was thus humbled, and appeared in the form of a servant, he is now raised up to the throne of glory, and to universal dominion. This exaltation is…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-11Verses 5-11 The example of our Lord Jesus Christ is set before us. We must resemble him in his life, if we would have the benefit of his death. Notice the two natures of Christ; his Divine nature, and human nature. Who being in the form of God, partaking the Divine nature, as the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, Joh 1:1, had not thought it a robbery to be equal with God, and to receive Divine worship from men. His human nature; herein he became like…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9Therefore: Because of Christ's humble obedience, God raised him to the place of highest honor (see Acts 1:9–10; compare Acts 2:32–33; 7:55–56). gave Him the name above all names: Jesus has supreme authority and power (Philippians 2:10–11; compare Matthew 28:18; John 17:5; Acts 2:33–36; Hebrews 2:9; 12:2).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. Wherefore--as the just consequence of His self-humiliation and obedience (Psa 8:5, 6; 110:1, 7; Mt 28:18; Lu 24:26; Joh 5:27; 10:17; Ro 14:9; Ep 1:20-22; He 2:9). An intimation, that if we would hereafter be exalted, we too must, after His example, now humble ourselves (Php 2:3, 5; Php 3:21; 1Pe 5:5, 6).
