All professing Christians accept Jesus as saviour, we
believe He came to seek and save the lost by His precious blood Luke 19:10 says
for the son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. The main
thrust is accepting Him as Lord by confession and practice that is Jesus being
the controller, dictator and overseer of our thought, pursuits, purpose, plans,
actions, reactions and inaction s.
If He really is Lord,
the obvious struggles, backstabbing, backbiting, usage of derogatory words and comments,
contentions and at time fights and all negative things that happens even in the
fold will be a thing of the past .Heb 12:14 says follow peace with all men and holiness
without which no man shall see the Lord.
God gave Him a name that typifies and commands lordship Phil 2:9-10 says wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him and given Him a name that is above every name that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and
things under the earth.
Our service and worship will be grossly inadequate if we see
Him only as our saviour and not as Lord as even the centurion confessed Him as
son of God Mark 15:39 says and when the centurion, which stood over against him,
saw that He so cried out and gave up the ghost, he said, truly this man was the
son of God, this happened when he saw the events and signs that happened at
that time. Various Synoptic records in Matt 8:28-29, Mark 1:24,Luke 4:32-34
& 41 clearly records where those who were possessed of demos accepted Jesus’
s Sons hip of God .So the balance is if the centurion who was part of the
facilitator of His death and demons who by exhibition are anti-Christ could
accept some statement about Jesus, we are not better if we accept His saving
mandate and not His Lordship. Let’s turn a new leave.
Jesus is both my saviour and Lord.
