What does it mean that Jesus is both Lord and Christ?

When Peter declares in Acts 2:36, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ," he emphasizes two crucial truths about Jesus. As both Lord, He has sovereignty over all creation, and as Christ, He is God's anointed Savior. This dual role underscores that salvation is not merely about personal acceptance but recognizing Jesus’ sovereign authority in our lives. The implication for believers is profound; we are called to submit to His Lordship while relying on His redemptive work as the Christ, the one who saves us from our sins.
