Why do we call Jesus the Lord?

The title 'Lord' signifies Jesus’s ultimate authority and sovereignty. In the book of John, it states that 'all things were made by him,' affirming that Jesus is not only a historical figure but the Creator of the universe. By calling Him Lord, we recognize His mastery and control over all creation. This acknowledges Him as the sovereign God who exercises authority over all life and existence, illustrating His divine nature and importance in the believer's life. The acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is fundamental to understanding His position in the Trinity and His role in salvation.
