IS JESUS THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE?
Dennis Abernathy
Many refer to Jesus as Lord, but never think about what that
means. The Bible does say that Jesus is
“Lord” (Acts 2:36). But what does it
mean, to call Jesus “Lord”?
The word “Lord” means master or ruler; it
means Jesus has the
right to tell us what to do or how to live. That’s why
Jesus asked, “And
why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say?” (Luke
6:46).
Jesus is
“Savior” because He can save people and He is “Lord” because He has the authority
to command our lives. Sadly, though,
some want Jesus to be their “Savior” but they don’t want Him to be their
“Lord”. They want Jesus to save them, but they don’t want Him to rule them. Friend, you cannot take Christ as your Savior
and refuse Him as your Lord and be
saved.
On one
occasion Jesus’ mother said, “whatever He says to you, do
it” (John 2:5.)
If you claim Jesus as your Savior and accept Him as
your “Lord” you will respond as did Samuel: “’speak,
for your
servant hears” (I Samuel 3:10).
