Jesus Is Lord - Do What He Says!
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46 NIV)
A man once hired a skilled guide to lead him safely through a dangerous mountain trail known for steep drops, hidden turns, and sudden weather changes. The guide knew the path well and had helped many travelers reach the summit safely.
At the beginning of the journey, the man said, “I trust you. Lead the way.”
But as they started climbing, the man began second-guessing the guide. When the guide said, “Stay on this narrow path,” the man wandered off to what looked like an easier route. When the guide warned, “Slow down here,” the man pushed ahead on his own.
Before long, he found himself stuck on unstable ground, unsure of where to step next, and dangerously close to slipping.
The guide carefully came alongside him and said, “You told me I was your guide—but you’re not following me. If you want to reach the top safely, you can’t just agree with me… you have to trust me enough to follow me.”
That’s exactly what Jesus is saying in Luke 6:46. It’s one thing to call Him Lord—it’s another thing to actually follow His lead.
Many people say, “Jesus is Lord,” but then choose their own path, their own timing, and their own decisions. But when He is truly Lord, we don’t just agree with Him—we follow Him and do what He says, because He doesn’t just know the way, He is the way!
Jesus is the way, He is Lord!
Lord means:
Owner
Master
Authority
The One in control
It’s not just believing about Jesus—it’s surrendering to Jesus.
When Jesus is truly Lord in your life, everything changes:
Your direction changes
Your decisions change
Your priorities change
Your purpose becomes aligned with Him
Therefore
Make Jesus not just your Savior, but your Lord. Surrender control, trust Him fully, and align your life under His authority—because that’s where true life, righteousness, and purpose are found.
“For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:9)
