| Lordship Of Jesus Christ |
Is Jesus really Lord of my Life?
1.Christ's Authority over angels.
Hebrews 1:4-14 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the
angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And
again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son. 6 And again, when he
bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God
worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his
ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou
hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.10 And, Thou, Lord, in
the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the
works of thine hands 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall
wax old as doth a garment 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they
shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.13 But to
which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine
enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26 And he saith unto
them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled,
saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

house.62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
