Jesus is Lord.
This one is difficult to grasp I think because logic can stands in the way of faith.
We are taught God sent His only son, Jesus, who suffered and died for our sins, who redeems us.
Yet at the same time we are taught that Jesus is God.
I’ll be honest in saying I always struggled with understanding this.
How can he be both?
Today’s passage says “Lent isn’t just about following Jesus the teacher – it’s about bowing before Jesus the Lord.”
Truth is, I’ve always felt humbled when kneeling before the cross, gazing at His suffering.
Aching while thinking about the unimaginable pain He endured for me and you.
Wondering how any man could accept such agony for the sake of others.
Today’s passage answers…
Because I AM. Because He is God, He is Lord, And our peace is in His wounds.
He forgives with endless love and mercy.
And His love never fails.
That is not man…that can only be God.
His perfect love, His perfect sacrifice, His perfect mercy…
So, maybe even if it’s without understanding, we just believe…
Jesus is Lord. True God from True God.
Lord Jesus, I adore You in Your eternal divinity, one in Being with the Father. Thank you for taking on my humanity. You are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
