The Lordship
Of Jesus Christ
Phil
2:11
...Jesus Christ is
Lord...
Rev 1:5-8 (KJV)
And from
Jesus Christ,
who is the
faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of
the kings of the earth.
Unto him
that loved us,
and washed us
from our sins in his own blood,
{6} And
hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
{7}
Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and every eye
shall see him,
and they also
which pierced him:
and all kindreds
of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so, Amen.
{8} I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and
which was, and which is to come,
the
Almighty.
The English word, "The Lord" means
literally, "the loaf-keeper, that is, the one who provides for his
dependents"-Webster.
Another definition of "Lord" is:
"One who has power and exercises it responsibly. Lordship must
include power to exercise control as well as possession of power within the
boundaries of a well-defined system."
The word translated LORD occurs over 7000
times in the Bible. It comes from the Hebrew"Yahweh", or "I am that I am", and
is the Name that God revealed to Moses. In the New Testament, the word "Lord"
comes from the Greek word "Kurios" which means " supreme in authority, and a
title of respect". The English word "Lord" is found over 7800 times in the
Bible.
The Lordship of Christ for the Christian means
recognizing the rightful authority of Christ over our lives and actions, and
yielding in submission to that authority. In return, Christ is our provider and
lawgiver, revealing His will to us in His Word. In everything, He has first
pre-eminence, and the proper attitude in the life of a Christian should be, "Not
my will, but Thy will be done" (Luke 22: 42b).
Exo 3:13-15 (KJV)
And Moses said unto God,
Behold, when I come unto the children of
Israel, and shall say unto them,
The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say to me, What is his name?
what shall I say unto them?
{14} And God said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM:
and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of
Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you.
{15} And God said moreover unto Moses,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
The LORD God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob,
hath sent me unto you:
this is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all
generations.
Gen 2:4
(KJV)
These are the
generations of the heavens and of the earth
when they were
created,
in the day that the LORD
God made the earth and the heavens,
1 Ki 18:39
(KJV)
And when all the people saw it, they fell
on their faces: and they said,
The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is
the God.
2 Chr 20:6 (KJV)
And said, O LORD God of our fathers,
art not thou God in heaven?
and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of
the heathen?
and in thine hand is there not power and might,
so that none is able to withstand thee?
Psa 86:1-12 (KJV) A Prayer
of David.
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am
poor and needy.
{2} Preserve my soul; for I am
holy(Heb=religiously pious, set apart for God):
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in
thee.
{3} Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto
thee daily.
{4} Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
{5} For thou, Lord, art good, and ready
to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon
thee.
{6} Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;
and attend to the voice of my supplications.
{7} In the day of my trouble I will call upon
thee:
for thou wilt answer me.
{8} Among the (heathen's) gods there is
none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither are there any works like unto thy
works.
{9} All nations whom thou hast made
shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
and shall glorify thy name.
{10} For thou art great, and doest
wondrous things:
thou art God alone.
{11} Teach me thy way, O LORD;
I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name.
{12} I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with
all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for
evermore.
Luke 6:46 (KJV)
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I
say? Acts 2:36. God hath
made him both Lord and Christ,
this
Jesus whom ye crucified.
Phil 2:5-11
(TLB) Your attitude should be the kind that
was shown us by Jesus Christ,
{6} Who, though he was God,
did not demand and cling to his rights as
God,
{7} but laid aside his
mighty power and glory,
taking the disguise of a slave and
becoming like men.
{8} And he humbled himself even
further,
going so far as actually to die a
criminal's death on a cross.
{9} Yet it was because of
this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven
and gave him a name which is above every
other name,
{10} that at the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow in heaven and on
earth and under the earth,
{11} and every tongue shall
confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the
Father.
Rev 19:11-16
(KJV)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse;
and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge
and make war.
{12} His eyes were as a
flame of fire,
and on his head were many
crowns;
and he had a name written, that no
man knew, but he himself.
{13} And he was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word
of God.
{14} And the armies
which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and
clean.
{15} And out of his mouth
goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the
nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron:
and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
{16} And he hath on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS.
John 20:27-29 (KJV)
Then saith {Jesus} to Thomas,
Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into
my side:
and be not faithless, but
believing.
{28} And Thomas answered and said unto
him,
My Lord and my God.
{29} Jesus saith unto him,
Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed:
blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed.
