Jesus. Lord. Period.
"Would the coming of Jesus Christ tomorrow mess up your plans?"
The Truth About the Lordship of Christ, by John MacArthur is a troubling and eye popping book.
It is like salt spread over an open wound because, well, the one thing that we christians love to talk about but don't love to take to practice is the Lordship of Jesus.
We forget that the term 'Lord' doesn't accept negotiation nor unions. It doesn't take under consideration the slave's own will. And it certainly doesn't take 'I don't feel like doing that' or 'I don't have time for that right now' for an answer.
Justification is a one-time event but sanctification is a process and we can't be sanctify unless we put ourselves under the Lordship of Christ because we won't let the lord work the transformation intended for us if it is not 'part of our plans'.
This book hits hard the comfortable 'christianity' of this day and age and make the reader remember something: Jesus said 'follow me' and he wasn't asking; he was commanding.
