I am a Jesus pusher!!! Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father. He received from the Father ownership of the Kingdom of God. The Greek word (Kurion) translated Lord means owner, possessor, and master. Jesus was sourced by the Father in establishing the Kingdom. Jesus ascended to the heavens and gave the Kingdom back to the Father in humble submission. Now the Father has announced that Jesus is King of the Kingdom. He has received this position from the Father. Notice how Peter explains this: “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ,” (Acts 2:36). God the Father sourced Jesus as both Lord and Christ.
We must be careful of our evangelical language. Often we speak of Jesus as Savior (Christ); at another setting we mention His Lordship. Sometimes we have proposed the question, “If Jesus is your Savior (Christ) will you allow Him to be your Lord?” This suggests the Lordship of Christ in our personal lives is optional. This is absolutely impossible. They are not two categories. He is both Lord and Christ. Jesus cannot be other than He is. He is both! If I embrace Him, I cannot choose one or the other. He is worthy of my entire life at all times. I am totally surrendered to Him. I want all that He is in all that I am. I am a Jesus pusher!!!
