What Does It Mean That Jesus Is Lord?
What Does It Mean That Jesus Is Lord?Chapter 3 — Jesus Christ
Lesson 21: What Does It Mean That Jesus Is Lord?Jesus is the true King, worthy of worship, obedience, and trust.
Explanation
To say that Jesus is Lord means that He has all the authority and all the glory that belong to Him. He is not just a help for our problems, but the true King to whom everything belongs.
The lordship of Jesus is not cold or cruel. He rules with truth, justice, and love. That is why submitting to Jesus means coming under the leadership of the best and holiest King.
Bible story
After the resurrection and the ascension, the disciples understand more and more clearly that Jesus is not only their Teacher, but the Lord of the whole world. Thomas falls down before Him and says: “My Lord and my God.” This is the confession of the Christian faith.
Remember
- The truth: Jesus is the true King, worthy of worship, obedience, and trust.
- Jesus is the true King and has authority over all of our lives.
