Why do you call Me Lord, Lord?

Luke 6:46 

46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

Many people do not understand what the word Lord means. Many people think it is just something that you call Jesus. "Jesus is Lord!", they say. Little do they know that Jesus is to be their Master if they are going to call Him Lord. Jesus is a savior to most people, and yet Lord to few.

Jesus came to earth to die for sins, yes, but He also came to show us a better way of living. Jesus came and lived His message. He did not just have a new way of teaching the Law of the prophets, He was the new way. That is why Jesus said to the people, that He was the Way, the Truth and the Life! ( John 14:6)

Jesus was never a man that did not forgive. Jesus was never holding a grudge against His enemies and Jesus never gossiped. Jesus never looked at a woman with lust in His eyes. The women who were very attractive and appealing like Mary Magdalene found this very desirable about Jesus. Used to men lusting over them, Jesus stood out as a model of purity.

Jesus in His teachings and His commandments taught a better way of living. If we are to call Him Lord, we are to know what He taught and use His grace to live like that.
