Question #3 – Is Jesus “Lord” of your life?
The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
Psalms 103:19
Many Christians say that Jesus is Lord. And they are exactly correct. Revelation 19:16 says, “He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
It’s one thing to say that Jesus is Lord but it is another for Jesus to be head of your life. Jesus is not only our Savior; He is Lord and Master over us. Jesus has all authority in a believer’s life.
As “Lord” of our lives, Jesus obtains the position as Master and we are His servants. We submit to His Lordship and obey His commandments. We know that Jesus deserves this right to be Lord.
Making Jesus “Lord” means to allow Him to direct every area of life including our thoughts, decisions, relationships, and actions. Often we can be tempted to compartmentalize our faith, giving Jesus control over some areas while keeping others to ourselves. But if He is truly Lord, there is no part of your life that is off-limits to Him.
Consider your life today. Is there an area where you’ve been holding back from giving Jesus full control? Is He Lord in your career? What about your personal habits? Is He Lord of your fears and doubt? Surrender it all to Him.
Pray
Lord, I not only call You Lord but I surrender to Your Lordship. I give You my heart and mind, trusting in Your wisdom and goodness. Give me grace to let go and fully submit to Your will. Lead me and guide me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
