Jesus As Lord

"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luke 6:46

 

Jesus demands to be Master and Lord of every part of your life.

Is He Lord of your mind, of what you think, read, and believe? Of what you dream about, meditate on, and entertain yourself with?

Is Jesus the Master and Lord of your body? Are you presenting it to Christ as a living sacrifice? Do your eyes belong to Christ? What about your ears? Your mouth? Your hands? Your feet? Your sexual urges? Our eyes can be covetous and never satisifed. Our tongues can do unspeakable harm. Our hands can do the work of the devil. Our feet can take us where we shouldn't go. And our sexuality can get us in trouble before we know it.

Is Jesus the Master and Lord of your social life--your friendships, your relationships, your amusements? Always ask yourself these questions when making plans: "Can I ask God's blessing on this? Can I do this to the glory of God? Or will this be a stumbling block to me or to someone else?"
