Lordship. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word LORD? Most likely you would be thinking "well, of course, Jesus is Lord." Yes, Jesus is Lord, but the question is, "Is He Your Lord?"
You may be saying to me, "come on Pastor Lenny, I asked Jesus to come into my heart 20 years ago and be the Lord of my life. So ever since that day, He has been Lord." When you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, we know that He comes into our hearts and saves us. He redeems us as we ask Him to forgive us of all our sins. We see Him as the One who died for us, who paid the price for our sins, that there was nothing that we could do to save ourselves, but by His mercy and His grace He saved us.
My question to you today is, "what about the Lord part?"
When we say JESUS IS LORD, what we are saying is that:
1) He is Master over all. He rules over all. He is sovereign and He has all power and authority.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
JESUS TRULY IS THE LORD. HE IS THE ONE THAT IS WORTHY TO BE WORSHIPED.
2) He is Ruler to whom service and obedience are due.
Let me share with you my testimony of how it was that God raised me up. It was not because I knew the right people. It was not because I knew how to smooze my way to the top. ...
