"Is JESUS LORD of ALL?!"
JESUS is either LORD of all, or HE is not LORD at all!" I have heard this quote over the years, it is clear and it is to the point. Some have given the credit to, Jeremy Taylor, others to Charles Spurgeon. Both of these fine men of GOD, would not want the recognition, both lived in the 1800's, as sold out Believers, committed to their LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. JESUS is an all or nothing SAVIOR! JESUS said, "If anyone wishes to come after ME, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow ME!" (Matt. 16:24). JESUS also stated that "If anyone comes to ME, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be MY disciple." (Lk. 14:26). What is JESUS saying? HE wants everything! That our love for anyone, to include family, pales in comparison to our love for JESUS! Again, HE is a ALL or nothing GOD! Regardless of who penned the above quote, the question is, for you and I, is JESUS LORD of ALL... in our lives?!" To make JESUS famous always!
