Die vorige vers vertel ons dat dit was omdat Yahushua Yahuwah gehoorsaam was, selfs tot met die dood aan die kruis. Hierom, het Yahuwah Yahushua verhoog tot aan Sy regterhand en hom die naam (of gesag) vir elke naam gegee. Yahuwah het Yahushua die Messias-Koning gemaak. Wanneer hy in sy koninkryk kom, sal elke tong bely dat hy Here is, tot verheerliking van Yahuwah, die Vader.<\/p>\n<p>Ter afsluiting beteken die term Christus of Messias \u201cgesalfde een.\u201d Dit is nie `n aanduiding van goddelikheid nie maar verwys na diegene aangewys en bemagtig om die wil van Yahuwah te doen. Alhoewel die term nie net uitsluitlik vir Yahushua gebruik word nie, vind dit sy eintlike betekenis en vervulling in die man van Nas\u00e1ret wie deur Yahuwah tot koning verhef is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indenttext\"><b>Johannes 18:37 <\/b>Pilatus s\u00ea toe vir Hom: Is u tog dan `n koning?\u201d Yahushua antwoord: U s\u00ea dat Ek `n koning is.
