He is Lord
He is Lord
Speaks of His deity
It speaks of His divine person
He descended from heaven
The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.
1 Corinthians
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:
He ascended to the right hand of the Father
The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
Psalm 110:1
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?
If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
He will return in power and glory
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
Revelation 19
It speaks of His position of authority
An authority that covers the universe
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
An authority that will conqueror all opposition
God’s grace and patience is giving people the oppotunity to repent and accept the Lord Jesus Christ now but those who remain His enemy will brought down to defeat
The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
The world now is in rebellion and resists and rejects His authority but it is unstoppable
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Psalm 2:
An authority that His followers confess
When we recognize the power of His authority we will see our sinfulness and repent
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
When we recognize His person of authority we will believe and worship
Luke 5:
John 9:
He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”
Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
We begin by recognizing Him as Lord
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:
Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
King of kings and Lord of lords
King of kings and Lord of lords
absolute authority
will be recognized Psalm 2
A truth spoken about in the Old Testament
The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
A passage Jesus interpreted for thr Pharisees
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?
If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”
An authority to which we must submit
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
An authority that applies to all things
For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
At His birth
Spoken of in the Old Testament ()
A truth that must be confessed with the mouth coming from a believing heart
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
A truth that is more than just calling Him Lord
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
Matthew
His resurrection is evidence of His Lordship
A truth that reveals our sinfulness
Must be more than words Calling Him Lord doesn’t make you a Christian
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
Luke 5:
He is Lord in the life of those who confess to believe in Him
A truth that applies to all things
For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
A truth that can only be seen by those who truly believe
Blinded to the Lord
He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”
Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
He is Jesus

Speaks of His humanity
It speaks of His human nature
Jesus was fully man
He was born through natural child birth
So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2

And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Jesus is His earthly name that declares His purpose and mission
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
He experienced those things we experience
Luke 2:52
He prayed
He was tempted
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
He was hungry and thirsty ;
He was tired and slept ;
He had human emotions (compassion, anger, sorrow)
He died a real death
Jesus was completely without sin
1 Corinthians 5:20
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

1 Corinthians 5:21
It is a consecrated name in regards to Jesus of Nazareth
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
It speaks of His mission coming to earth
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
It speaks of the salvation He offers
He was called Jesus specifically because He came to provide salvation ;
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

It speaks of His fulfillment of scripture
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
G
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Luke 24:
Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 24:
It speaks of the true Messiah
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Matthew 24:
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

Unite my heart to fear Your name.
He is the one and only Jesus who can take us to heaven
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
For we will exalt that name either as a redeemed worshipper or a condemned sinner
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
He is the one and only Christ sent by the living God
, ;
For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Acts 28:
The New American Commentary: Acts (2) Separation from the Jews (28:23–28)
Verses 26–27 reproduce verbatim the Septuagint text of Isa 6:9f. In this Greek version the prophet’s words constitute a prophecy of the people’s obduracy. The three organs of perception are highlighted—the eyes, the ears, and the heart, the latter in Hebrew thought being considered the organ of understanding and will. The picture is that of a people who merely take in sensory perceptions but in no sense appropriate them. Their ears heard the sounds, but the hearing was without understanding. Their eyes took in the sights but without any insight because their hearts had become calloused; the message received by their eyes and ears was neither understood nor acted upon. Otherwise, they would have done something in response to God’s message. If they had heard and understood the divine word, they would have turned from their ways in repentance (epistrepsōsin) and received God’s healing.
Paul was relentless in declaring the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ
So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.
Acts 28:
Paul warned about rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ
This is our hope even if we are bound with chains
So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, saying,
‘Go to this people and say:
“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.” ’
Acts 28:25
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-10
Paul was confident in what he believed and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ until the day he died. STOP! He is still talking about the Lord Jesus Christ expect He is in His very prescence
