Jesus Is Lord

We hear the expression “Jesus is Lord” many times in Christian circles. We say that Jesus is Lord of our lives. The Spirit of God asked me a question this morning which I am going to pass on to you. Am I really LORD of your life?

According to Webster’s 1828 dictionary, the word Lord means one who possesses supreme power and authority; one who governs your life and is in charge of your life. Supreme means one highest in authority, one holding the highest position of government and power in your life; highest, greatest, most excellent. In Scripture Lord is Supreme Being, Jehovah. The word Lord is applied to Christ and the Holy Spirit. Christ is called the Lord of Glory and the Lord of lords.

When we recognize the lordship of someone, we give them the privilege of governing our lives and being in charge of us because their power and authority is greater than ours. There is no power and authority greater than God’s power and authority. So the smartest thing any of us can do is to yield to His Lordship in all areas of our lives.

Any area of my life or yours about which we are fretting, worried or anxious has not been given over to the Lordship of Jesus. Ponder the question today: AM I REALLY LORD OF YOUR LIFE?
