Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. Did you surrender your full life to Jesus? Affirming Jesus is Lord is central to our salvation. Saying "Jesus is Lord" has two basic types of meaning. One is our relationship to Jesus; the other is who Jesus really is. One way I sum up the two meanings is: Jesus is my master. Jesus is my God. Just believe in Jesus is not enough. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! (James 2:19) "Jesus is Lord" means also my master. One I should obey and has power over me. Receiving Jesus as Lord means that my constant overriding goal should be to be to obey him. Nothing else should matter. I know my life is not always focused on Jesus. Our whole being is to be focused on our Lord. If it is not -- when it is not -- the biblical call is to repent; change -- transform -- our minds until our whole life is focused on Jesus Christ.
