Free Christian Color Graphic: Jesus is Lord
When Christians say that Jesus Christ is Lord, they mean that He is the absolute ruler of the universe itself, as well as all spiritual and physical realms of existence. Jesus is the true Lord over all the earth. Ultimately, He will have His way, even though human beings will do many terrible things in rebellion against the will and rule of God. We live in a time when the Lord allows people to make their choices and to do whatever they will do, but the day is coming when Jesus Himself will return to Earth, set up His global kingdom, and bring all the nations into line with His rule. How can He do this? How can some guy who lived a couple of thousand years ago come back to take over the whole planet? Who is Jesus, anyway? (That's what His own closest followers wanted to know when Jesus spoke a simple command that immediately stopped a deadly storm at sea.) Well, let's begin by saying that Jesus is much more than "some guy." Two thousand years ago, the Lord God of the universe sent His own eternal Son into the world to live, to die and to rise again from the dead — the death and resurrection that would save in all generations the people who believed God. Jesus Christ was and is the eternal Son of God promised in Old Testament Scriptures, the Anointed One (the Messiah) who would save not only Israel but all people. John the Baptist introduced Him to the people of Judea as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (read the first chapter of John's Gospel in the New Testament). Jesus is God who came to earth to personally deal with the problem of sin and death. He lives today, not just in the hearts of those who trust and love Him, but at the right hand of God the Father. The whole Bible talks about Him and what He has done, and what He is going to do on planet earth, and in the universe. It is worth knowing. Just as Jesus is worth knowing. Jesus is Lord.
