--LIVING UNDER JESUS' LORDSHIP~~ --(Please Read:Philippians 2:6-11) ---The Lord Jesus Christ—God’s only begotten Son—has been given the name above all other names. Jesus has complete authority over heaven and earth, and He exercises that authority according to His Father’s good purposes. Christ’s position as Lord over all of mankind will never end.Most of the people in our world have not acknowledged Jesus’ right to rule. They reject His lordship and do whatever they think is best. As a result, sin abounds, wreaking havoc in the lives of many. The good news is that the Father has a plan, which cannot be stopped. One day every person will acknowledge the authority of Jesus. Just as God promised, all created beings in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will kneel before Him (Phil. 2:10)—including those who have rejected the Son of God. What a triumphant and glorious time that will be!Even before that day, we who follow the Savior are to live with our wills bent in submission to His. If Jesus is Lord over us, then we will acknowledge that life revolves around Him and we exist for His purposes, not the other way around. We’ll also make His priorities our own, giving the Lord’s plans precedence over all others. We will furthermore confess His Lordship over us (Gal. 2:20), proclaim that He is our Savior, and testify to what He has done for us. Our choices will reflect the desire to be a living testimony to His lordship in our lives.
Surrendering control to Jesus Christ is the wisest decision we can make. Is He truly Lord of your life?--IN TOUCH~-[You may have heard Christian's say, "Keep your eyes on the Cross." Of course the true Cross that Jesus was crucified on is not here. Nevertheless, it means, 'Remember what Jesus has done for all of us.' Yes, Scripture tells us, "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through Him."--(John 3:16-17)~~ This is why we keep our eyes on the Cross, we envision our Lord's death, burial and resurrection. He was crucified, died, was buried, and then He arose from the tomb. The tomb could not hold down the Son of God. Right now Jesus is at the right hand of the Father praying for us, His saints. So, YES! Keep your eyes on the Cross. He's coming back, maybe soon. JESUS IS ALIVE!] / I See The Cross / Brian Doerksen< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K41UdUGlgpY> --------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
