JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”  (Philippians 2:9-11 NIV)

William Barclay has pointed out that “of all the titles of Jesus the title ‘Lord’ became by far the most commonly used, widespread, and theologically important. It would hardly be going too far to say that the word Lord became a synonym for the name, Jesus.” This sometimes neglected aspect of the Christian experience must be carefully considered by all men and women who want to be His disciples…

Jesus Christ, Lord of lords, has always existed and always will. Not all people allow Him to be center of their lives, but that does not alter the fact of His lordship. All will someday acknowledge Christ as Lord, but the privilege of acknowledging His lordship and allowing Him to be center of our lives is possible now. Allow Christ to be Lord of your life -- by a decision followed by daily practice.
