“Why call me Lord, Lord”?

"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luk 6:46 Christian, why do you call him Lord, Lord and don’t do what he says? What does He say to us? What does he do want us to do? Even the word “Christian” means “Christ-like”. What does it mean to be “Christ-like”? John 15:12 & 17 answers these question. Jesus speaking to his disciples and he tells them what he wants them to do. He tells them to “love” others as he had loved them. He then goes on to give them a commandment to love one another. You see, Jesus is love and the perfect example of Love (1 John 4). He sacrificed everything to prove he loved you. He left His Father, He became flesh for the soul purpose of dying upon the cross, and now He’s preparing a place for you to join him in eternity. By Jesus’ death the greatest display of love was eternally displayed. So back to the question. “Why don’t you do the things I say”? If you claim to love God but hates (does not love) your brother then you are a “LIAR” (1 John 4:20) and you do not know God (1 John 4:8). If you claim to be a Christian and you don’t stand up for your brother (and sister) whether they are African, Hispanic, Asian, European, or Caucasian, then I would suggest you check your relationship with God and Christ. There is good in all people and there is bad in all people but we aren’t to care either way we are to just love them and let God have His perfect will in their lives. REMEMBER... Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to “Love God and Love you neighbor”!!!
