‘Every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord to the glory of God the Father’

  Jesus is shared his personality equal with God the Father, he became like a slave to die on the Cross. Cross is the symbol of curse in the time of Jesus in Palestine. This kind of punishment is given to the people who do most shameful sins in the society. He took the Cross to remove the sins of the old parents by plucking the fruit of the forbidden tree and ate it. God commanded them not to eat the fruit of the tree. So Jesus sacrificed his body on the Cross of wood of the tree. The tree which was symbolising the tree which Adam and Eve was tempted by Devil. Jesus made it as a libation of his blood to bring salvation for the dead and alive. ‘Should bend the knee at the name of Jesus and that every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord to the glory of God the Father. Ph 2: 11. Here God acknowledge His name of Lord to Jesus. gave this Name, because everything in heavens, earth and underworld to bend the knee in-front
of Jesus Christ to glorify God the Father. ‘Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped. But he emptied himself, Taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beingare; and being in every way like a human being he was humbler yet, even to accept death, death on a cross. And for this God raised him high, and gave him the name which is above all other names; So that all beings In the heavens, on earth and in underworld, (Phi. 2: 6-11) Jesus did not consider his divinity as Son with the Father. He emptied himself to be crucified on the Cross to bring all the humanity into salvation.  

Happy Feast on Assumption of Virgin Mary

 

The Apostolic Constitution of Pope Pius XII on the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

St John Damascene 

On the Assumption of Mother Mary

Thus St John Damascene, who is the greatest exponent of this tradition, compares the bodily Assumption of the revered Mother of God with her other gifts and privileges: It was right that she who had kept her virginity unimpaired virginity unimpaired through the process of giving birth should have kept her body without decay through death. It was right that she who had given her Creator, as a child, a place at her breast should be given a place in the dwelling-place of her God. It was right that the bride espoused by the Father should dwell in the heavenly bridal chamber. It was right that she who had gazed on her Son on the cross, her heart pierced at that moment by the sword of sorrow that she had escaped at his birth, should now gaze on him seated with his Father. It was right that the Mother of God should possess what belongs to her Son and be honoured by every creature as God’s Mother and handmaid.
