Journal Transfer: 2008-07-21 The Lordship of Jesus Christ

I believe most of us, at some point, considered Jesus not Lord, but merely a good friend. This is a problem, this kind of faith is equivalent to that of Judas Iscariot's (even though one might think he would not betray Jesus), for as the other 11 called Jesus, "Lord", at the first holy communion, Judas could not. Because of His TRUE Lordship, we find ourselves unworthy and in need of repentance. Because of God's righteousness, Christ was forsaken on the cross by GOD in his sacrifice for us. And because He is the Son of God, there can be no better sacrifice. Because He is the Son of God, He is worthy of worship, and because He is worthy of worship, He can only be of divine equivalent with God and therefore the triune God for there is ONE GOD, a concept beyond human understanding except by faith according to the Scripture.
