The Lineage of Jesus

The Authority of Jesus

LORDSHIP “one who possesses and exercises supreme authority over an individual or group, a country or a nation. To say someone is Lord is to acknowledge their leadership, their dominion or supremacy.”

16

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Colossians 1:16-17 (KJV)

We do not make Jesus Lord. Jesus is Lord!

If Jesus is not Lord over all, He is not Lord at all.

"The greatest challenge facing the church today is to reassert the Lordship of Jesus Christ."

"I accept the views, teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, but as a Public Official I have to uphold the law and we can understand that."

In order to be obedient, to submit to the authority of Christ, we must rely on the power provided by the indwelling Holy Spirit. (John 14:16-17)

Matthew 6:24 (KJV)
