I saw a bit of a video where a young lady referred to a word meaning: “Jesus as Saviour but not Jesus as Lord”
Off course, I can’t remember the word or find the video again and Google has, like my spellchecker, given up hope…
I am not sure what her intentions were with the video but it did get me thinking. Theologically I can argue that you can’t accept the one without the other, that if you reject one, you actually reject both… but practically, how do we live it? It’s a different story, isn’t it?
Is Jesus my Saviour?
Absolutely! We did the whole Acts 2:37 thing! Repented, returned to God and got Baptised…
Is Jesus my Lord?
Yes! Except… maybe not always at work… and sometimes not when I am on social media (but that is just because the other guy doesn’t have a clue!!) and sometimes not when I choose a movie to watch…
But generally He is… well mostly He is? Isn’t He?
I love movies where someone saves another person’s life and now they are bound together, the one’s life is literally forfeit. Ready to die. To give a life for a life saved. It’s always noble and often times humorous and always ends up emotional.
The one holding the life of another, in his hands… isn’t that what Jesus gave us? Except I am holding my own life…
I decide how to use or waste the life given to me in trust.
While researching I came across this quote that says in ten words what I can’t in a thousand…
“… The words from a popular English evangelist, Leonard Ravenhill, ring exceptionally true in this case:
“Is what you’re living for, worth Jesus dying for?”
