All The Credit He Deserves

Isaiah 45: 22-24

Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the Earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By Myself I have sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before Me every knee will bow; by Me every tongue will swear. They will say of Me, "In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength."

Romans 14: 10-12

... For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. It is written: "As surely as I live," says the Lord, "every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God." So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Philippians 2: 9-11

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 confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 5: 12-13

In a loud voice they sang, "Worthy is the Lamb, Who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

Then I heard every creature in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To Him Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever!"

When Jesus explained to Cleopas and his companion what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself on their way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), I'm sure He connected all the dots for them to see the Big Picture, and their "hearts burned" within them.

Because from the first chapter of Genesis to the final chapter in Revelation, the whole story is the story of the Lord God of the Old Testament, revealed as Jesus the Christ in the New Testament; the Creator, the Lawgiver, the Benefactor, the Finisher of everything He began. He is the One Who has dealt with Mankind from the very beginning, and He will be the One Who will even all the odds, reveal all the mysteries, solve all the problems, heal all the wounds and sorrows, and wrap everything up neatly into a New Heaven and New Earth. 

And every creature that has ever been created, everywhere, will give Him all the credit He deserves.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
