Subject: Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? |
Bible Note: Steve Precisely! This is the thing that I believe most people miss. That's what Bishop Tom was talking about. So often, he says, we make the Salvation story revolve around us, when it should revolve around Jesus Christ - He is the Supreme Ruler of all things, and the question arise for all of us, "So what are you going to do about that? How does this change your world today?" I think we may have cheapened it (unintentionally maybe) with the WWJD slogan? What it is saying is absolutely correct...What Would Jesus Do...about justice, poverty, discrimination, the lost, etc. And I mean, what would He do about it, not on a global scale, but on a personal one-to-one basis, as He did when He walked this earth. Instead He calls us to do it now... To describe Jesus Christ as "the one, true and living God" may be a good way to explain His title in a way that folk can understand. So, if Jesus is LORD (or as you so rightly put it) "the one, true and living God", then every breathing moment of my life will be spent rejoicing that He even thinks of me, delights to walk with me through my day (just as He did with Adam and Eve in the garden), and actually enjoys it! What a motivation to put aside the sinful, earthly desires of my carnal nature. You have done well to bring this alternative. Maybe we need to bring out the fuller meaning as we initially speak with folk about who this Jesus really is. Much appreciated. Fellow Pilgrim |
