Is calling Jesus Lord enough?
Published on: April 15th, 2024Why do you address me as Lord? If Jesus were to pose that question, what would our response be? Most individuals in the religious community might answer, "He is my Lord." However, merely saying it isn't enough. Jesus cautioned in Matthew 15 that there were those who honored him with their words but lacked sincerity in their hearts. This is a challenge Jesus repeatedly presented, as seen in Luke 6, where he questioned, "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" Calling Jesus Lord implies submission in every aspect of life. It means he governs our choices. Some may argue that talking about actions implies earning salvation, but Jesus clarifies in Luke 17:10 that obedience is the natural outcome of acknowledging him as Lord.
