Lord

No longer contained in the body of a baby; no longer confined to a cross; on that day, Jesus will come with the “fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.”

Our Shepherd gives us everything we need. Protection. Nourishment. Safety. And when we go astray, he comes to find us. He is our Overseer all the way home.

God is not only our King; he alone is supreme, the “blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Today, believers proclaim that Jesus is their personal Lord. He is the One we love and follow. He is our master, the One in charge of our lives. The true believer proclaims: Jesus is Lord!

He is the cornerstone joining the walls and making the building strong. All peoples come together in Christ and grow “into a holy temple in the Lord.”

Our eternal spirits will join our resurrected bodies and meet the Lord in the air to be with him forever! Each of us will have our “Lazarus” moment.

Through Jesus, we have the promise that death has no power over us. We simply pass from life, as we know it, to eternal life with the Lord.

When a person trusts in Christ alone as the only way to have a relationship with the living God, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within. God, through his Spirit, lives in us.

Because of our trust in Jesus, God declares us, “Not guilty!” and gives us the right standing that Jesus has before the Father. Indeed, the Lord is our righteousness.
