Jesus Is Lord Whether You Agree or Not

BIBLE MEDITATION

“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” -- Luke 2:11

“Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” -- Acts 2:36

 

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

Can you imagine what it meant to Mary to hear the angel say to her, “You shall call His name Jesus”? 

Or for those Jewish shepherds the night of his birth to hear the angels say, “…born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”?

What does the word “Lord” mean? 

What did it mean to these shepherds? 

It meant “Jehovah” to them. 

….........…..Jehovah, God Almighty!

When the angel said, “a Savior who is Christ the Lord,” the angel was saying He is co-equal, co-eternal with the Almighty.

Jesus Christ is called “Lord” far more than He is called “Savior.” 

He’s called “Lord” 747 times in the New Testament. 

………..He is Lord!

Every so often someone says, “Well, I decided to make Him Lord.” 

Too late for that….. 

…..................…...He is Lord!

ACTION POINT

You cannot “make” Him the Lord of your life. 

You can only reject Him or receive Him as Lord. 

You can bow your knee to Him and say, “O Lord, You are the King. Therefore, I yield my heart to You.” 

Receive Him today as your Lord. 

Will you submit to His Lordship?”

Jesus Is Unique Above All Others

BIBLE MEDITATION

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.” -- Philippians 2:9

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

British scholar John Blanchard estimated that from the beginning of creation to now, about 30 billion people have lived on earth. Of those, only a few have had an impact on history. One person stands out, unique above all others. That one, Jesus Christ, attracted the largest attention, devotion, criticism, adoration, and opposition of all 30 billion.

Every recorded word He spoke has been studied, sifted, and analyzed from generation to generation by theologians, philosophers, and historians. At this moment, multiple millions around the globe in every time zone are studying what this one individual had to say.

Jesus of Nazareth taught in a tiny land called Israel 2,000 years ago. Yet His birth has divided the centuries into “B.C.” (before Christ) and “A.D.” (Anno Domini, Latin for “the Year of our Lord.”) He divides world history.

ACTION POINT

Whether you are on death row or Wall Street, you need Jesus. He’s the saving Son of God. There’s no one that He cannot save. There’s no one that He will not save. Thank God that He was willing to come. If He had not, think what that would mean.
