The Question of Lordship

Date:  4/9/06
Text:  Matthew 21:28-32
Title:  The Question of Lordship

• The Book of Matthew


• The book of Matthew is one most rooted in the Old Testament and most concerned with issues that were important to the Jewish people.


• It has been said that Matthew was the author of this book, although the author is not identified in the text

• There is more to salvation that just believing.


• It is believing and repenting.

• In the text, Jesus outwardly says that He is Lord.

• To be truly saved…


• Repent


• Believe


• Surrender


• Submit


• Obey

NOTES:  Feeling sorry is not true repentance.  True repentance means turning from the sin toward God.

• Are you loyal to Your Lord?

My Personal Notes:
Jesus must be Lord in my life.  I must repent, believe, and surrender to Him in order to be saved.

My Personal Prayer:
Lord, help me to recognize You as Lord in my life.  Thank You for being Lord in my life.

Scripture:  Matthew 21:28-32
28: But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29: He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30: And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31: Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32: For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
