Jesus is Lord and Master

Jesus is Lord and Master

In his record of Jesus' life, the Apostle John demonstrates that Jesus is master of all that is. He does this by seven examples from Christ's ministry.

At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). The guests pronounced the wine Jesus made "the best." Jesus was master of quality!

At Jerusalem, Jesus healed a sick man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-15). The fellow had been sick 38 years. To doctors his case was hopeless, but not to Jesus. He was the master over time!

Jesus healed the son of a nobleman of Capernaum. He did this while at Cana, some 20 miles away (John 4:46-52). Jesus was able to overcome space and distance.

Once Jesus fed 5,000 people with a boy's bag lunch; five pieces of bread and two small fish (John 6:1-14). After all had eaten their fill, there were twelve baskets of leftovers. Jesus was master of quantity. A mere man cannot do such a thing.

Jesus healed a man who was blind since birth (John 9:1-34). He explained that no one was to blame for the man's plight, it was just a misfortune of life. Christ overcame the misfortune by restoring his sight.

Lazarus had been dead four days and not embalmed, was decaying. At Jesus' spoken word Lazarus instantly revived and walked out of the tomb (John 11:1-44). Christ is clearly the master of death.

John concludes his account of Christ's life by saying, "Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples...but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name" (John 20:30-31). He who is master of quality and quantity, time and space, laws of nature and misfortunes of life and even death, is master of all. Should he not be the master of your life?
