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!

Yours in Christ,
