"And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow you wherever you go" (Luke 9:57 NIV). As it turns out, this man had no intention of following the Lord ( he was obviously not looking for a Lord or Master) as he explains that he must "bury his father." Jesus' rebuke was to allow the dead to bury the dead, you get up and follow me.
One of the most famous names He was called was "Lord". This name was used as a term of respect such as mister or sir. By the time of his resurrection and ascension the name became more of "the Lord of history, the Lord of the church, and the Lord of each individual Christian.
There are so many names recorded for Jesus Christ in the "L" category, however my feeling is the use of the word "Lord" is most intimate, most enduring and close to ones heart.
Lord won't you watch over us today as we seek to fulfill Your will for us this day?
