He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even death on
a cross.
The "knock on wood" superstition is alleged to have originated in the practice of touching wood
on the occasion of good fortune in gratitude to Christ who is associated with a wooden cross.
We all ought to be knocking on wood daily for what Christ has done for us. Someone has said
that long ago a question was asked: "How will sinful humankind come to the Father?"
Jesus gave the answer, "Over My dead body."
(Philippians 2.8
NRSV)
Are you familiar with the expression, "knock on wood?" Many people knock on wood before
undertaking a project for good luck. Will Rogers once humorously said: "I always knock on
wood before I make my entrance."
Dear God, giver of all gifts, thank you for the power of the cross. Amen.
