BIBLE MEDITATION
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). “Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36).
Luke 2:11 and Acts 2:36
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT
Can you imagine what it meant to Mary to hear the angel say to her, “You shall call His name Jesus”? Or for those Jewish shepherds the night of his birth to hear the angels say, “…born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”?
What does the word “Lord” mean? What did it mean to these shepherds? It meant “Jehovah” to them. Jehovah, God Almighty. When the angel said, “a Savior who is Christ the Lord,” the angel was saying He is co-equal, co-eternal with the Almighty.
Jesus Christ is called “Lord” far more than He is called “Savior.” He’s called “Lord” 747 times in the New Testament. He is Lord. Every so often someone says, “Well, I decided to make Him Lord.” Too late for that. He is Lord.
ACTION POINT
You cannot “make” Him the Lord of your life. You can only reject Him or receive Him as Lord. You can bow your knee to Him and say, “O Lord, You are the King. Therefore, I yield my heart to You.” Receive Him today as your Lord. Will you submit to His Lordship?”
