Luke 22:49 ‘When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?’

Luke 22:49

The Lordship of Jesus is one of the central themes of scripture. It is clear that many times the word ‘Lord,’ when referring to Jesus, is equivalent to the divine name ‘Yahweh’ or ‘Jehovah.’ To acknowledge Jesus as Lord is to acknowledge His deity (Jn. 20:28).

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. – 1 Corinthians 13:13

What do you do when you’re facing a particularly stubborn problem? A problem that resists your every effort to solve it?

Put the power of love to work on it! The power of love is the greatest power in the universe. It’s beyond defeat. It never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8).

The Bible says God is love. So when you release love into a situation, you have released God into it. Think about that! When you start releasing love into a situation, Jesus becomes responsible for its success.

What is this love I’m talking about?
