More Good News From the Incarnation and the Angels Worship Jesus!

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. 
(Galatians 4:4-7, ESV)

And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”

________________
Because, God sent Jesus to redeem us, Christians are now Jesus' adopted siblings!
Let not just angels worship Him, but us also!

He Emptied Himself

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so 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.

Because of all of this, He has been exalted higher than all.
