Jesus is Lord!

“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:11

One of the earliest confessionals of the New Testament Church was the bold proclamation that “Jesus is Lord.” I Cor. 12:3; Rom. 10:9; Philip. 2:11

That declaration affirmed the deity, power, authority, and rule of Jesus Christ.

We often think of Christ as our Friend, Savior, and Life, but are sometimes reluctant to embrace and explore the full meaning of Jesus as Lord. Perhaps it is because the appellation creates a certain amount of discomfort. Jesus’ lordship asserts His right to reign and necessitates our prompt and thorough obedience.

Yet it is precisely the lordship of Christ that should settle and comfort us the most. As Lord, He is exalted over men, time, nations, circumstance, and creation. All of heaven and earth is subject to His divine dominion.

When events careen seemingly out of control, the Lord Jesus Christ has all in hand. Tragic as some events may appear, Christ is in command, working out His good will toward His wise end. Romans 8:28

Do you endure sickness? Jesus is Lord.
Do you battle unsure emotions? Jesus is Lord.
Do you worry about the future? Jesus is Lord.

Affirm His lordship in your life today.
