Jesus is Lord...

     Jesus is Lord - this is really true. But what do we mean by the Lordship of Jesus Christ?

     Many people have been told that they must " accept" Jesus to be Lord of their life. For what? So that, He can now "start" to have control over their lives. So that " he will now reign".

     Whoa! As IF the Lordship of Jesus is dependent on one's acceptance/ decision. This is "anthropocentric" or man centered. It actually exalts human decision over the reign of Jesus.

    The Bible portrays that Jesus is Lord because Jesus is God! He is exalted and was given a name above all names by the Father. We do not "make" Jesus as "Lord".He is Lord. He reigns forevermore. His Lordship is a reality that we have to believe. But our belief does not start or commence His Lordship not even in our personal life. He is Lord of our life even in the times we did not believe yet. He reigns in the life of all humanity and the whole creation.

     That is what we should believe!  That is the good news!
