Lord and Savior???

This morning in our Sunday School class we began to study the book of Hebrews. As we were discussing the first chapter, and came to verse 3 (you can tell we got really far) it reads: "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." The last part of this verse describes Jesus as both Savior (provided purification for sins) and Lord (he sat at the right hand of the Majesty of heaven).

It isn't always easy to delve into scripture and understand fully what it might be saying. It is also SO NORMAL to read our Bibles and not fully grasp everything that we read, both of which are ok (in my opinion). However, there are times when we hear something in a new way, or gain new insight, or just get a great reminder about things we already know to be true.

This morning, as we were reading, I was again reminded, that it is so easy to know and love the Jesus that is our Savior. It is not always as easy to know or to want the Jesus that is Lord. We are glad to cling to the Jesus that loves us when we mess up, that is there to forgive. It is not always our desire to cling to the Jesus, who is to be our Lord. For Jesus to truly be Lord, we are to submit our will/plans to His. We are to allow Him to guide our life! I am the first to admit...not always so easy!

I would challenge us all to think about the question: "Is Jesus my Savior and my Lord?" Will my/your story be a human one, or a divine one?
