The Concept of Lordship

[S] Matthew 12:8 --
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (KJV)

[O] The sabbath day is nevertheless a system that man made to recognize the rest God gave us and was a means to enter into His rest by refraining from other distractions.  However so many times we turn these means into an end as if observing that will please God.  Far from that.  God wants us to recognize who He is and how much He loves us.  He rarely cares whether we observe the system we have created ourselves.

[A] The meaning of the "lordship" is such a simple and yet so easily overlooked concept as Christ-followers probably because we really have not experienced what that means.  I've really never been a slave or a servant under a lordship and so struggle to live a life under a lordship of anyone, especially under Jesus Christ.  I need to make it simple -- just let Him rule over my life in every area.

[P] Dear Jesus, please be the Lord of my life.  I lay it before You.  In Your powerful name.  Amen.
