Jesus Christ: the only Lord and Savior of the world

"The early Christians were not fed to wild beasts or dipped in wax and set ablaze as lamps in Nero's garden because they thought Jesus was a helpful life coach or role model but because they witness to him as the only Lord and Savior of the world.  Jesus Christ doesn't just live in the private hearts of individuals as the source of an inner peace.  He is the Creator, Ruler, Redeemer, and Judge of all the earth.  And now he commands everyone everywhere to repent."

-- Michael Horton, "The Gospel Commission"
