IS HE REALLY LORD?

Luke 6:46-47
Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? NASU
** Why would you call Him Lord and don’t do what He says? Is He Lord or not? Lord in the Greek means: supreme in authority, controller, Master, Sir. So if He is our master our controller and the supreme authority in our life why do we hold back when He asks us to do something? Do we just like the title of being His slave as a false front or do we REALLY believe that He is the master and we are the slave? Take for instance the great commission…. We are ALL called to go into all the world and preach the gospel (good news) to all creation…. Are we doing that or are we avoiding what our master has commanded us to do? When’s the last time we just spoke the gospel to anyone? This should not be condemnation but we should all be convicted by this. Condemnation makes us feel bad about who we are but conviction should compel us to change the way we are. I am convicted and I need to change my way of thinking about this life that I live and Yes He is my Lord and today I choose to do what He says… “Lord send me in the path of someone who needs to hear the gospel today.”

Ah yes - we discussed this at Uturn last night (Juliann brought this very thing up). We had a great discussion.

I had a very interesting encounter on the bus this morning (while minding my own business as usual). I was doing my journal and this guy sits down and interrupts me to ask several questions about what I was doing. To make a long story short I shared the gospel with him because he questioned whether I knew what I believed and why. At the end of the conversation I could tell he was very uncomfortable, but he now knows who Jesus is, and that Jesus loves him.

Have a great day!
