And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth (Phil. 2:8 - 10)
This man is not an ordinary man; He is an extraordinary man. He is God who became a man and died on the cross to accomplish God's eternal purpose and destroy His enemy.

This hymn is concerning the uttermost exaltation of Christ Jesus as God mingled with man and man glorified in God. When we approach this hymn and sing it, mere reverence and a worshipful heart is insufficient to match the strains of utter exultation here concerning Christ's transcendent exaltation and the transmission of His power to the church in identification with Him. When we sing this hymn, we quit our feelings, our limited apprehensions to praise this Christ who is so exultantly revealed. Here we find the poetic counterpart to Colossians concerning the all-inclusive and all-extensive Christ in ascension.
