We use titles today regularly without knowing where they came from or what they mean. For example, we often use the title “Mister” or “Mr.” in front of a man’s name without knowing that it originated as a title for men of higher social status. While it is frequently used, the meaning of the word has shifted to a simple use as a formal title for any man. Titles were also used in Biblical times. For example, the title “Lord” in the Bible is used over 100 times in the Gospels alone to refer to Jesus. But what does this title mean and what difference does it make as we celebrate the Christmas season?  Let’s look at Paul’s words on the importance of this title and the impact it should have on those who follow Jesus as Lord.
