“Yet, for us there is but one God, the Father, FROM whom are all things, and we exist FOR Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, BY whom are all things, and we exist THROUGH Him.”  1 Corinthians 8:6 (My emphasis)

As we continue to look at marks of Jesus’ divinity, Scripture tells us of His Lordship.  The same verse also refers to Christ Jesus as the Creator as we have seen previously.  The following verses speak of His Lordship.

“And He (Jesus) was saying to them, ‘The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.’”  
This is the answer Jesus gave to the question of some Pharisees, 
“Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”  Luke 6:5 and 2

The Apostle Peter speaking on the day of Pentecost is saying, 
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified.”  Acts 2:36

The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:3 says,
“Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, ‘Jesus is accursed’; and no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.”

His dominion is another mark of divinity.
Dominion (as defined in Webster’s Dictionary):  The power or right of governing and controlling; sovereign authority.

His dominion is Eternal,
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
 And the government will rest on His shoulders;
 And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal   Father, Prince of Peace.
 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace…”  Isaiah 9:6-7

It is universal,
“…He will speak peace to the nations;
 And His dominion will be from sea to sea,
 And from the River (Euphrates) to he ends of the earth.”  Zechariah 9:10
(Margin note)
Jesus has dominion over nature:
“And the men (Jesus disciples) marveled, saying, ‘What kind of man is this, that the winds and the sea obey Him?’”  Matthew 8:27

His dominion is over the church,
“And He (God the Father) put all things in subjection under His (Jesus) feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church.”  Ephesians 1:22

His dominion is over the powers:
“…Christ Jesus, who has gone into heaven and is a the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.”  
1 Peter 3:21-22

(I remind you again to read all the verses in context.)

Our Lord, Christ Jesus is Creator, He pre-existed, He has authority, He foreknew of His sufferings and departure, He is the Lord and He has dominion over all--eternal and universal.  The marks of His divinity is beyond our knowing now, but we have eternity for them to be made known!

This is the Christ to whom we gladly bow our knee and worship with our whole being!

I am reminded of the chorus of a song we sing in our Fellowship as follows:

“You are love, You are life, You are Lord over everything,
 Alpha, Omega, Jehovah, the King of kings.
 Wonderful Way Maker, worthy of our offering, hallowed be Thy Name.”

All hail our glorious King of kings and Lord of lords, He is to be praised, honored and glorified by all now and forever!  Amen
