Romans 14:7-12
In the New Testament, Lord is a commonly used title for Jesus Christ. Although it is rare to hear this term used in our daily life, there’s a similar word with which we are all quite familiar: boss. That’s basically what Lord means—one possessing authority. In the Word of God, Jesus is described as the head of the church, the ruler over all creation, and the Lord of Lords and King of Kings (Col. 1:15-18; Revelation 17:14).
Christ’s reign covers everything that happens in heaven and on the earth. No one—not even someone who denies His existence—is free of His rule or outside His authority. Although Satan tries to convince us that freedom is found in doing what we want, the only way to be truly free is through submission to Jesus Christ.
Have you submitted to His rule over your life? Jesus’ authority might cause anger or fear in those who haven’t yielded to Him. But we who have trusted in His goodness, surrendered to His authority, and experienced His lovingkindness take great comfort in knowing Him as the Lord of our life.Bible in One Year: Exodus 4-6
