Jesus is our Savior...but is he our Lord?

God raised Jesus from the dead and "seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet" (Ephesians 1:20-23 NIV).


C. S. Lewis said that there are basically 3 kinds of people in the world: those
who don’t want to obey and so don’t, those that don’t want to obey but do it
out of fear or pride, and those who want to obey

I would hope you would know that Jesus came down to earth and died on the cross for our sins. If not, e-mail me and we will talk. Great, Jesus saved us from the pits of hell...I don't think there is anything we can be more grateful for or thankful for in our lives. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, he is also our Lord, but do we distinguish the two at all?

According to Dictionary.com, Lord is defined as "a person who has general authority over others" so the question is, does God have authority over our lives? Sundays are great, going to church, great, but have you ever thought about if God is involved in every single aspect of your life? When we are driving down the street, jamming out to our favorite song, is it a song that would honor God. Does the way we dress reflect Him? What about the TV shows we are filling our minds with, would we be watching them if Jesus was in our living rooms?

It all comes down to this, you never know who is watching you and who sees Christ in you. We should involve God in all our decisions from our finances, to our tv, to our clothes, every part of our lives. Let him be Lord of your life and you will find that life is much simpler, and much more fulfilling.

I would urge you to make a commitment today to surrender yourselves to God. Make a conscious effort to obey him in every part of your life, from your thoughts, to your TV, wake up each day and surrender that day to God.

So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Romans 12:1-2
