Lord

Lord isn't a word that we use in everyday life, but it's the name used most frequently for Jesus in the New Testament.. So what does it mean? A more modern word that could help us understand Lord is "Boss." But Jesus isn't the boss of just something, God has made Him the Boss over everything. He is the one with all power, all control, and all authority in heaven and on earth. He is the head of the church, the ruler over all creation, the Lord of lords and King of kings. When we sing "Jesus Over Everything" it's basically another way of saying, "Jesus is Lord." The Bible tells us that one day, every person who has ever lived will see and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. But as followers of Jesus, we don't want to just wait till then to acknowledge Him as over everything in our lives. We have the opportunity to do that now and every day. When we begin to acknowledge Jesus as Lord, that's when we also experience and access His power as Lord in our life. An important part of giving our life to Jesus when we are saved is also making Him Lord, or boss, of our life. To do this, we need to recognise that we are not the centre of our lives but He is, and we are no longer living for ourselves, but we are now living for Him!
