Jesus is Lord, not just Savior

Jesus your Lord has Redeemed you
Jesus your Lord has Restored you
Jesus your Lord, your Response to him

You were miserable wretches without any hope for the future. Yet, Jesus loved you so much. He humbled himself to come from heaven to suffer the humiliating death on the cross, pierced, and beaten, and put into the ground for you. By doing this he redeemed you from sin and death. You were then restored to a right relationship with God so that you are able to serve him in spirit and in truth. You can give him things for which he asks (work and worship) and you can do it out of love – which yet brings more rewards.

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. Do you show that love back to God for his great redemption of a great wretch like you? Are you willing to face hardships for Christ. Would you quit a bad job to serve God? Would you be willing to suffer persecution? Are you willing to come to worship…even when you don’t feel like it…or when there is snow on the ground?

2. In obedience to Christ, do you work for the good of your neighbors…sharing with them the good news of Jesus Christ? Do you reflect Christ by how you live in front of your neighbors…by how you drive…how you talk? All of this is part of how you show Christ to the world.
