Both Lord and Christ

    By A. W. Tozer

    God hath made this same Jesus . . . both Lord and Christ.
    Acts 2:36

        No Christian believer should ever forget what the Bible
    says about the Person and the offices of the eternal Son,
    the Christ of God.

        "God  hath  made  this  same  Jesus  whom  ye  have
    crucified both Lord and Christ" -- Acts 2:36.  Jesus means
    Savior; Lord means Sovereign; Christ means Anointed
    One.

        The Apostle Peter did not proclaim Jesus only as
    Savior, he preached to them Jesus as Lord and Christ
    and Savior, never dividing His Person or His offices.

        Remember, also, the declaration of Paul: "If thou shalt
    confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, thou shalt be
    saved."

        Three  times  in the  passage to the  Roman Christians
    telling how to be saved, Paul calls Jesus "Lord." He says
    that faith in the Lord Jesus plus confession of that faith
    to the world brings salvation to us!
