Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

What a great description of the Lord Jesus Christ. Each of His names and titles carry great significance. His name, “Jesus,” identifies His Person and purpose. He is the promised Saviour. His Blood was shed that we might be forgiven and reconciled to God. He was the Servant of all servants. He went about doing good, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed, and saving the lost. He was a Friend of sinners. He was betrayed, ridiculed, abandoned, crucified, buried, and resurrected from the dead.

Not only is He the Saviour, He is the “Christ.” Jesus is the Anointed One, the Messiah, the promised Deliverer, and the Hope of Israel. This same Jesus is also “Lord.” He is Master, God, supreme in authority.

Sometimes people act as though Jesus is their Saviour, but not their Lord. The Jesus of the Bible is the Saviour, and He is the Lord. That does not imply that every area of our lives will always be in perfect submission to His lordship, but it does mean that everywhere and at all times, Jesus is Lord. At times, the humility of Christ is so emphasized that His lordship is not recognized or appreciated as it should be.

During this season may each of us who call Him Saviour rededicate ourselves to the truth that He is also Lord and Master. He must rule and reign in our lives every day.

Reflection—The crucifixion proved them sinners, the resurrection proved Him Lord.
