Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 2:8

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.Here in this verse also, the essential truth of the whole passage bearing upon the eternal power and Godhead of Christ shines in the use of the word "obedient." "Only a divine being can accept death as obedience; for ordinary men it is a necessity!"[28] The death of Christ was not something inflicted upon the Son of God, but the voluntary laying down of his life for the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 2:9

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name.Exalted him ... The exaltation here is contrasted not with the pre-existent eternal Godhead of Christ, but with the humiliation of his incarnation, the one new element in it being in this, that "He is exalted in the very nature in which he died."[29] Thus human nature has been elevated and made to sit on the right hand of God in the person of Christ.The name which is above every name ... Dummelow said,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 2:10

That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth.In the name of Jesus ... It is wrong to read this "at the name of Jesus," giving rise to the superstitious practice of genuflecting at every mention of the name "Jesus." "In the name of" means "by the authority of," and one thing in view here is that prayers shall be universally offered in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ.Barclay has a precious passage on the term "Lord,"... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 2:11

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.The use of "should" in this place does not imply any uncertainty. As regards the present life only, the teaching of this place details what people ought to do, "should" do, and not what they will do; for it is a fact that many live and die without confessing the Saviour. However, there are overtones of eternity in the passage, and with reference to the ultimate future, all people, high and low, good... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:8

Philippians 2:8. And being found in fashion, &c.— "And when he was found in the common form and condition of man, as though he had been nothing more, he submitted himself to the lowest degree of service and sufferings; and went into a course of the most humble obedience, as to his parents and magistrates, in all lawful things, so to his heavenly Father, as his servant, to answer all the demands of his holy law; and this obedience he paid even unto death, and all along, till he came to die,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:9-11

Philippians 2:9-11. Wherefore God also, &c.— "And having fulfilled his work of atonement in this humble, obediential, and suffering manner, God his Father, as a reward of all this, according to its deserts, has gloriously exalted him, not by advancing him to a state of greater essential happiness, perfection, or glory, than he had before, as God, which admits of no addition; but by raising him, as man, from the dead, receiving him up to glory, setting him at his own right hand, and giving... read more

8. being found in fashion as a man—being already, by His "emptying Himself," in the form of a servant, or likeness of man ( :-), "He humbled Himself (still further by) becoming obedient even unto death (not as English Version, 'He humbled Himself and became,'c. the Greek has no 'and,' and has the participle, not the verb), and that the death of the cross." "Fashion" expresses that He had the outward guise, speech, and look. In :-, in the Greek, the emphasis is on Himself (which stands before... read more

9. Wherefore—as the just consequence of His self-humiliation and obedience (Psalms 8:5; Psalms 8:6; Psalms 110:1; Psalms 110:7; Matthew 28:18; Luke 24:26; John 5:27; John 10:17; Romans 14:9; Ephesians 1:20-22; Hebrews 2:9). An intimation, that if we would hereafter be exalted, we too must, after His example, now humble ourselves (Philippians 2:3; Philippians 2:5; Philippians 3:21; 1 Peter 5:5; 1 Peter 5:6). Christ emptied Christ; God exalted Christ as man to equality with God [BENGEL]. highly... read more
