A PARABLE Awhile back at a conference that I attended, I overheard Jesus asked a bunch of pastors the question, "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?"-Luke 6:46 And here were some of the responses: -"Because, 'we're saved by grace! not works.'" -"Because the whole concept of "Lord" is offensive to modern culture.   I'm trying to grow a church...not kill it!" -"Because anything having to do with "obedience" or "submission" would hurt my books sales.  And if I sell less books, I reach less people.  Comprende?" -"Because the whole 'Jesus as Lord' thing just gets in the way.  I just want to get 'em saved man!  Get 'em in the door!  Jesus is Savior!  That's the message!  The whole 'Lord thing' can come later." At about that point I saw Jesus begin to weep.  And all of the pastors immediately gathered around Him to pray, having no idea why He was crying. END OF PARABLE Biblical Christianity knows nothing of a Jesus who is not "Lord."  Well, actually, technically there is a "Jesus" who is not "Lord," (see Colossians 4:11), however, the "Jesus who is called Justus" is not the Savior. "There are only two Jesus' in the Bible. The first Jesus (the Christ) is both Savior and Lord.  The second Jesus (Justus) is neither Savior nor Lord.  The third Jesus, the one created by the Devil for today's popular, seeker-sensitive, emergent, market-driven 'church'...does not exist." -pastor Brad *For further study click on the video:  The 2nd Most Important Question You Will Ever Ask.
