The Meaning of "Jesus is Lord"「耶穌是主」的含義

-

From T.A.

I am not sure as to the time that Jesus was made Lord. David spoke of Him as being Lord in prophecy (Acts 2:34). The disciples often referred to Him as Lord during His earthly ministry. It was therefore the Father's intention to make Him Lord before He came to earth. In Old Testament writings the title, Lord, seemed to refer to the Father or perhaps to the Godhead. Therefore, perhaps it also referred to the Word which was with God and was God (John 1: 1,2). But since the Pentecost of Acts 2 the title of Lord belongs to Jesus Christ (2:36) and there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5). If a person wants to follow and obey God's word, he will acknowledge that Christ is Lord and when He uses the title, Lord, he is referring to Jesus.

我不確定耶穌成為主的時間。 大衛在預言中說祂是主（使徒行傳2:34）。 門徒們經常在祂世上的事工期間，稱祂為主。 因此，也許天父打算在耶穌來到地上之前，就讓祂成為主。 在舊約著作中，主這個頭銜似乎指的是父，也可能是指（三位一體）神。 因此，也許它也提到了與神同在的道，而且道就是神（約翰福音1：1, 2）。 但是，自使徒行傳第二章的五旬節（2:36)，主的頭銜屬於耶穌基督，而且只有一個主（以弗所書4：5）。 如果一個人想遵循和服從神的話語，他會承認基督是主，當他使用主這個頭銜時，他指的是耶穌。

As to the meaning of Lord, Mr. Joseph Thayer in his Greek lexicon defines Lord as "he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has the power of deciding; master. "
至於主的含義，約瑟夫·塞耶先生在他的希臘詞彙中將主定義為“一個人或事物所屬的人，他有權決定；主人。”
Therefore, Jesus is master. He has all power (authority-Matthew 28:18). He will be the Judge of all mankind (John 5:22; 2nd Corinthians 5:10). Christians are to be His servants ; He is our Master , and yet Jesus calls us friends (John 15:15). The church belongs to Him; He purchased the church (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28). He, therefore owns Christians; He bought us with His blood out of the hands and power of the devil. He has a name above every name, and every tongue will confess Him as Lord (Philippians 2:9-11). Perhaps all of these things are involved in telling us what His Lordship means.
因此，耶穌是主人。 祂擁有一切權力（權柄-馬太福音28:18）。 祂將成為全人類的審判者（約翰福音5:22；哥林多後書5:10）。 基督徒要成為祂的僕人；祂是我們的主人，然而耶穌稱我們為朋友（約翰福音15:15）。 教會屬於祂；祂買了教會（馬太福音16:18；使徒行傳20:28）。 因此，祂擁有基督徒；祂用祂的血從魔鬼的手和權能中買下了我們。 祂的名高於每個名，每張口都會承認祂是主（腓立比書2:9-11）。 也許所有這些事情都有關係，告訴我們祂的主權意味著什麼。

Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent? (Don Blackwell)

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
