John 18:1-11 He is the Lord

Jesus is Lord. It is a statement that rolls so easily off our lips, and yet do we recognize Him as Lord when He is doing the dirty hard work, the less fun things, the submitting to the plan actions that "Lords" don't usually need to do, but have a lackey do?

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
