Jesus Is Lord

 Jesus is Lord! A common phrase Christians say. What does it mean? Look towards the Greek Old Testament, and every time you had the tetragrammaton - the four-letter name for God (YHWH) the Greek substituted its word for LORD. Just like English versions do. So when you hear Jesus is Lord, it's not some silly distinction between taking Jesus as your Lord and taking Him as your Savior. No! Run to the Greek Old Testament and realize you're making the confession Jesus is Lord; Jesus is YHWH. The one we meet as the LORD in the Old Testament showed up in flesh and blood, born of Mary, and in that flesh and blood was nailed to the tree and truly died. In that flesh and blood, His Father raised Him from the dead by the Holy Spirit.
