Why Do You Call Me LORD LORD and Not Do What I Say?: That's a Good Question: Sunday Service 5/3/26

``Jesus is not just your savior to listen to. He is your lord to obey. He's not just your savior to listen to. He's your lord to obey. And the reality of his lordship has hit me like a like a running into a wall this week as I prepare to preach. He is not just my how many of us love the fact that Jesus is our savior? Amen? I mean, I think of oh, praise God for saving me from my sin. But he doesn't just sign up to be savior. He signs up to be lord. He signs up to have control. [00:50:19] (45 seconds)  #JesusLordToObey

Lot of people claim to be Christians. They love the comfort that Jesus offers them, but they don't like the commands that he asked of them. They like to be inspired by his words, but we don't like to be submitted to his will. We love him as our rescuer. We hold him at arm's length as our ruler. He is savior and lord. He he he doesn't just give us the option of coming and saying, hey, I'll offer you salvation. You just kinda come to me half heartedly and we'll kinda you know, it'll be all good. He he says to his followers, if you're going to follow me, then you need to do the things that I'm calling you to do. [00:51:04] (47 seconds)  #CommitmentOverComfort

Why do you call me lord, lord? It's almost a level of worship. Why do you why do you use this really strong language about me, but not do the things that I say? Being emotionally moved is not the same as being obedient. Just because you are emotionally moved by something, that doesn't mean that you're being obedient to that thing. And so, yes, there is a level of emotion that's happening here. Yes. The the disciples, the followers are calling him lord, lord, but that doesn't mean that they're being obedient to the things that he's called them to do.

And I think Luke is thinking in this section kind of of of the way in which things kind of happen. And and he almost makes a diagnosis and then asked this important question and then gives a prognosis for what you can expect if you kind of follow through on that way of living. The diagnosis is found in verses 43 through 45, and here you'll see the text on the screen. In Luke chapter six verse 43, the diagnosis that Jesus makes here or that Luke captures for us is that for no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit. Here's the main point of this section. Each fruit excuse me. Each tree is known by its fruit. [00:39:45] (44 seconds)  #KnownByYourFruit
