Over and over we are reminded that He is Lord and that we should give Him that place in our lives. To crown Jesus as Lord means to surrender our lives to Him. It means to have no will of our own, but to want His will supremely. It means the willingness to go anywhere, do anything, and say whatever He desires. Jesus always comes to take over our lives.
Info : The importance of lordship can be seen in the fact that whereas the word “Savior” occurs only 24 times in the New Testament, the word “Lord” occurs 522 times. It is also significant that whereas men invariably say “Savior and Lord,” in that order, the Scriptures always say “Lord and Savior.”
To make Jesus our Lord is the most reasonable, logical thing we can do. He died for us; the least we can do is live for Him. He bought us; we are no longer our own. “Love so amazing, so divine, demands oursouls, our lives, our all.”
If we can trust Him for our eternal salvation, can we not trust Him for the management of our lives?
How do we crown Jesus as Lord? There must be a crisis experience when for the first time we turn over the controls to Him, when every area of our life is placed under His sovereign sway. It is a total commitment with “no reserve, no retreat, no regrets.”
With His wisdom, love and power, He can do a far better job of running our lives than we can.
Since we took the first step, boldly accepted Jesus into our lifes, we had experience how He can change lives, what is it to totally surrender our lives to Him?
This article encourages me a lot of wanting to become more like Jesus. Especially to do more humanitarian work. Would want to take this opportunity to remind all of u that our God is a big God.. bigger than any other issues or circumstances. Do not be a weak Christian who are tempted to slide away from God but be a strong one to continue to grow in our walk with God.
