What Christians Mean When They Refer to Jesus as Lord

When we think of the name Lord as Christians we think of God, as he is

powerful, almighty and great. Jesus however was a human and to be

called "Lord" is very special because no one in history has been

called that before. As Christians we would say the name Lord means

miracle worker, ruler and faithful. Jesus was mainly all these things

as he performed many miracles in his life which many different types

of people benefited from which are recorded in the Gospels. Many Jews

thought of Jesus as a lord because he helped many of them; outcasts,

Romans, women and the rich ands poor and many others he helped in his

life on Earth. Jesus truly was a leader of the human race.

Christians today still think that God created the Universe and

ourselves as humans. Jesus also had many fantastic powers in his life

on earth with us and was able to show them to his followers and all

the disciples. Some Christians think that Jesus was empowered by God

and God's powers were given to Jesus through their love for one

another. Jesus' powers were very special as he had power over evil,

placed above soldiers in my command, I tell my slaves to do this and

they do it, I tell one soldier to go their and he does it." Jesus then

replied,

"I tell you, I have never found faith like this, not even in Israel."

Jesus proves to us in this gospel that he does not believe in any form

of discrimination and he is a true teacher of the people.

When Jews refer to Jesus as Lord I think they are expressing all their

ides of him into one important and powerful name. Jesus has proven to

be a teacher, a leader, powerful, almighty, a ruler, faithful and a

miracle worker. He is truly a man of the people and I think this is

the meaning of the name 'Lord'.
