"Jesus?"
Yes that would be nice, but I know that will never happen-- some will answer with "Jesus" but many will not. HOWEVER God's word is being revealed and that is what is MOST important!
So here is the question-- Who deserves ALL the glory?
Phillipians 2:7-11
7but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant,[b] being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Why did Jesus do this?

I believe the answer to this goes all the way back to when he was 12 years old and his parents asked him, why he had caused so much pain and emotional hurt to them. And they found him in the Temple -
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that "I must be about my Father's business?"
It takes us full circle back to the one key scripture, that unlocks all the scriptures pertaining to him.
John 3:16; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son...
Even through Jesus was 100 % God, and 100 % Man. It shows the "mystery" of his birth - Two Nature. One aspect - He was God, and the Second - He was Man.
The humanity side of Jesus was humbled and was obedient to his Father's (the 100 % God, the second aspect of his Nature) Will.
He was as the Bible tells us - So much man, that he slepted in a boat. Yet, he was so much God, the wind ceased when he spoke! He was so much man, that he wept when Lazarus died. But, he was so much God, Lazarus came forth when he cried - Lazarus! Come Forth.
Who deserves all the glory? The Lamb of God, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Ending, the He who Is, Was, and Is to come - Almighty.
The one who hold the keys of death and hell, within his hands and his power of Authority. It is he who shuts and no man can open, or open and no man can shut! It is Jesus, the LORD of Lords, and KING of Kings.

Just to help us understand and remember that we are created in the likeness of God but we are not God just gods therefore we must be obedient to the laws and principals governing the world of God. Our lives should reflect godly qualities and contribute to the glory of our Creator. Christ was a great teacher but his part is done, it is now up to each one of us to follow after his example and become joy and pride for our Creator by awakening and practicing the godly qualities in every step of our lives.

Not really an answer to the question or statement above but to some of the answers. Did some of you forget what section of Q & A's you were in? Just in case, it was religion and spirituality. Hence the bible quotations and mentions of God!

Why did God kill the firstborn of every Egyptian man and cow? I mean, what did the cattle do to the LORD?
Exo 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live.

Deserves? Glory? If we can conceive it then to an omnipotent being such as 'God' it's not going to be much use.
