Title: Lord Jesus Christ
Contents
In order to live in this world, we will face many difficulties. You have to put in a lot of effort to overcome them and endure them. Still, sometimes it's hard to handle. Problems with material things are difficult, but problems with humans are even more difficult. How can I fully afford it?
David and Peter, many prophets, apostles, and saints were able to bear the tribulation and suffering that they sometimes experience by believing in Jesus as the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only that, I was able to receive progress, growth, and development in my religious life.
No one in this world can be the Lord Jesus Christ except Jesus, the Son of God, who was crucified, shed His blood, and was resurrected by the power of God. Only Jesus has been established by God as the Lord Jesus Christ.
'Lord' refers to God the Father who created the heavens and the earth and all things and people and gave his only begotten Son Jesus as a sin offering, and it refers to the Son Jesus who died on the cross and rose again.
The word 'Jesus' means to save sinners from their sins. Even at the time of Jesus, there were people with the name Jesus, but they could not be the Lord Jesus Christ. Only Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross and rose again by the power of God.
'Christ' means 'the anointed one'. He anointed those who were to be appointed as kings, prophets, or priests to accomplish God's will and his work. Jesus became the Christ in order to fully fulfill these three offices alone.
It was not that difficult for the apostles or the saints in the apostles' era to believe in Jesus as the Lord Jesus Christ. Because they saw and believed in Jesus, the Son of God. However, David is a person in the Old Testament times, and there must be a thousand years before Christ (Messiah) comes.
As a result, David was anxious, shaken, heartbroken, and groaned in the face of King Saul's relentless pursuit of death, but in the end, he overcame them all and became a great king of the kingdom of Israel. Peter, the apostles, and the saints of the early church were able to overcome many persecutions and achieve the growth and development of the church.
Therefore, today we must believe and hope for God and His Son Jesus as 'my Lord' and obey the Word completely in order to overcome the forces and factors that cause us to shake individuals, families, and churches, and to cause sorrow and despair. do. Today, if we confess God and His Son Jesus as 'my Lord', at the same time we must acknowledge that 'I am the Lord's servant' and obey God's Word completely.
