“Come, Lord Jesus!” How many times have you prayed this or heard this prayed? How often does the word “Lord” pass our lips in prayer, in Bible study, in public worship? And yet, do we really understand the concept of “Lordship”? What exactly does it mean when we declare “Jesus is Lord”? How do we understand the Lordship of Christ playing out in the nitty-gritty everyday details of our lives? This talk will explore what it means to declare that Jesus Christ is Lord as well as some ways to submit to that Lordship more fully each day.
