Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jesus is the "Lord of Life", and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible.

Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him. "He came unto His own and His own received Him not, but as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to be called the children of God even on them who believe on His name." But many rejected Jesus. And many resisted Him... violently at sometimes. And there was a public plan in the air to ruin Him.

They described Him... they meaning the culture and it was a religious culture... that said He was a drunk, a glutton, a demon-possessed maniac who broke the commandments of God; that He was a mad man. These descriptions of Jesus were offered by religious right-wing wingnuts who were more holy than God. And they attacked Jesus relentlessly and rigorously.

So what did Jesus do? Jesus fought back. Yes, He did. In fact, He called these religious... the Pharisees and others. Someone described them... the Pharisees of whom the milk of human kindness had curdled. Called the whitewashed tombs. Snakes, mass hypocrites, blind guides of the blind. And He even said, "Your daddy is the devil!... Your father is the devil." He called them also thieves and robbers. It was a confrontation between Jesus and religion. And this was not a way to win friends and influence people.

Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. He is the Savior and the only Savior of the world. The Bible is God's infallible, inerrant Word breathed out by Him.

God created the heavens and the earth with His word, He spoke it into being. God created them male and female. Marriage God's way is between a man and a woman. Life is sacred! And Jesus is Lord of life. He's coming again and He will bring justice to the world and to the future."
