Sermon: 1946 Lordship of Christ, part 1
Pray Over This
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
Ponder This
Do you believe Jesus Christ is Lord? Is He Lord of all that you have and all that you do? Is He Lord of your thoughts? Is He Lord of your tongue? Is He Lord of your temper? Is He Lord of your time? Is He Lord of your testimony? Is He Lord? I want you to think about the redeeming claim of His lordship.
Jesus Christ has purchased you! He has redeemed you with His blood. You may say, “Well, I belong to me.” No, you don’t, not if you’re a Christian. If you’re a Christian, Jesus died to claim you as Lord. By what right can He say He is Lord of your life? He has purchased you with the silver of His tears and the gold of His blood, and He now lives in you to possess you as Lord.
When I first got saved, I learned about Jesus in the Bible, and that was wonderful to me. Then, as I began to live the Christian life, I would see what Jesus would do in the lives of other people. I saw Jesus in history and Jesus in action, and that was wonderful to me. And then as I studied more and more, I began to learn about Jesus in Heaven, ruling and reigning from His throne, and that was wonderful. But the great truth I am now learning is Christ in me, the hope of glory. He now lives in me. He has possessed me. I am His purchased possession, and, therefore, I am under new management.
- What are some things that would need to change to make Jesus Lord of every area of your life?
- What are some things that deter us from recognizing Jesus as Lord over every area of our lives?
Practice This
Surrender the areas you have been holding back from Jesus and ask an accountability partner to help you seek Him as Lord in those areas.
