    Communion meditation for May 7, 2006

    The Lordship Of The Risen Christ

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 27, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,034 views

    A key accomplishment of the empty tomb is so Jesus might be “the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Lordship implies ownership or the right to exercise authority over another. When we come to Jesus, we're under new management.

Because of my former work with law enforcement and corrections, I wasn't selected, but I followed the case, ...read more
