Who is Jesus? #127


Jesus is Lord (How do you know?)
I Corinthians 12:3
'Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.'
There seems to be many who would deny that Jesus is Lord because of circumstances in the world or the way they "feel" inside. There are others who, based on the same circumstances or evidence, would conclude just the opposite. To eliminate the confusion God gave us something (someone) very special.
Paul tells our Corinthian brothers and sisters that you can shout "Jesus is Lord" to the top of your lungs, and know that it is true, because you and I have been given the Holy Spirit who testifies to that fact.
Maybe our perception of the evidence might lead to another conclusion, but God's Spirit inside of us confirms that Jesus is Lord. Listen to the Spirit. He knows!
Thanks Father for your Spirit who lives inside us.
L.T.
