Christ the Lord.


“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11(KJV)

The angel called Jesus a Saviour, Christ the Lord. there was no guesses about it that Jesus is the Lord Himself. The Lord is Jehovah. And the angel that announced the birth of Jesus called Him, “… Christ the Lord.”

All through the prophetic writings of Isaiah, it is made clear to the earnest seeker of Biblical truth that Jehovah the Lord, continually calls Himself Israel's Saviour. In Isaiah 43:3,11 Jehovah Himself said, “For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: … I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”

John 1:1,14 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us …” Now that the Word (God) has become flesh, the message of the promised redemption has become man – the redeemer Himself. God Himself became our redeemer.

The Bible says in 1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
Elizabeth called Mary in Luke 1:43, “… the mother of my Lord …” This tells us that Jesus Christ is Jehovah revealed to the senses. Also, comparing Elizabeth's testimony concerning Jesus with the Angel's proclamation in our opening scripture, we see that Jesus is both Lord and Christ.

The Name Jesus means Jehovah is the Saviour or simply Jehovah saves. In Luke 2:26, Jesus is referred to as the Lord's Christ. That is the Lord's Anointed one. Jesus Christ is salvation revealed. He is redemption fulfilled.

CONFESSION
Dear Father, I believe with all my heart that Jesus is Jehovah. He is the Word of God made flesh. He is the only true God and eternal life.

For further study read: 
John 14:9, John 20:28-29, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 1:1-9,

DOING THE WORD
All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. John 5:23.
