Adonai: Lord

This Hebrew means Lord and implies a relationship. God is Lord or Master and we are His servants. This name is first used in Genesis 15:2.

And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

The lordship of God means His total possession of me and my total submission to Him as Lord and Master.

Read Luke 6:46 and answer the question Jesus asks:

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Two Greek words are translated Lord in the New Testament:

One: kurios means "supreme in authority, controller" His is the word used most commonly in reference to Jesus Christ.
Second word: despotes which means "absolute ruler."

Jesus is Lord and has the right to be worshiped. We have a decision to make. If we call Him Lord we must mean it and do as He asks.

Read the following Scriptures and see how each of these verses show Jesus Christ as Adonai. Note too, what, if anything, is required of us:

Luke 14:25-27 ~ And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

John 13:13-16 ~ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

Romans 10:8-10 ~ But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
