Subject: Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? |
Bible Note: CDBJ Thank you for your greeting. I have entered a profile, as requested... I agree that the Holy Spirit plays the total role in our efforts to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. If only more of those who profess to be followers of Jesus would live this out and not believe the evil one's lies that others are not interested. Isn't it wonderful that Jesus did not leave us to our own strength to live out our relationship with Him (as the OT Israelites had to), but gave us the means to live in His daily empowering through His Spirit among us? Yes, Peter did declare Jesus as the Messiah, but, I suggest, only after he had been with Jesus for some time. Maybe we try to move too fast when sharing the Good News by declaring that "Jesus is LORD" when we have not built sufficient relationship (as Jesus did before He asked the question) to earn the right to declare that truth to another person. In fact I think that relationship is the key. Jesus built relationship with the woman of Samaria at the well - He did not simply thrust a Gospel tract into her hand and expect a result.
