Lord Jesus, Thou art Lord of all

THE FATHER, THE LORD, AND JESUS

By reading the New Testament we realize that the first basic matter concerning the divine titles is the revelation of the name of the Father. When the Lord Jesus came and lived on earth in the flesh, what He mainly did was reveal the name of the Father to His disciples. For example, in His prayer to the Father recorded in John 17, the Lord Jesus said, “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world” (v. 6). The Lord also said to the Father, “And I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known” (John 17:26). It is a matter of great significance to know the Father. It is a great thing to know God, but it is an even greater thing to know the Father.

It is also important that we pay adequate attention to the title Lord. In the Old Testament this was used as a divine title. It was not a simple matter for the man Jesus to become the Lord. According to Acts 2, after His resurrection and ascension, Christ was made Lord of all. This means that a man, even a Nazarene, has become Lord of all. As applied to the Lord Jesus, the title Lord implies incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. It was through such a process that the man Jesus was made Lord of all.

Message 7 (LSM)
)

God made Thee both the Lord and Christ,
The Spirit hath declared;
In glory and in heav’n we see
God’s throne by Thee is shared!

"If we know the Man-Savior's status and office, this will affect our contact with Him."

Praise Him!! He is the Lord and Christ!!

Lord Jesus, Your are Lord of all!

"Exalted highly to the heav’ns
And giv’n the highest Name,
All shall confess Thee as the Lord
And all bow at Thy Name."

All glory and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Thank You Lord for coming to us in the form of a slave!
