Lord or Savior

The Good News Today Is...Jesus is Lord and Savior. We sometimes try to get around this bit of information because we want a Savior but we don't want a Lord. We know we can't earn our way into heaven, we've admitted we're sinners, we need a Savior. Jesus is right there and we want Him (as a Savior). Sometimes, that's as far as it goes. We want to be saved, no strings attached, no duty on our part, just save us and get us into heaven. Wake up people, that is a pipe dream. If we have accepted Jesus into our hearts and He has become our Savior, then He has also become our Lord. We are to serve Him and follow where His footsteps lead us. In fact, if He is our Savior we will have a desire to submit to Him as Lord. It is in this submission to our Lord that we find our true freedom, our true being and our true happiness. The joy of the Lord is our strength!
