If we don’t recognize Jesus as Lord, we will end up fighting against him. If he is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all. We can’t follow him half-heartedly. Jesus’ defeat of death proved he is Lord of all. We must come to believe it. Sometimes God lets our needs draw us to need him enough to believe him. When we join him and choose to fall under his authority, we get his authority to build his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
