Matthew 12:8 says Jesus is "Lord of the Sabbath". The Pharisees had named themselves as overseers of the Sabbath, the day and it's activities, as well as anyone who was alive. But the true Lord is the Lord Jesus Christ. He has preeminence. He is number one. He rules over every day. He made up the idea of day. He created the world and He sustains it and He oversees it. He has the right to do with us as He sees fit. Our lives are in His hands.
When we say Jesus is Lord, which can only truly be acknowledged by the Holy Spirit, we give assent to Jesus to rule over us. We acknowledge our willingness to do what pleases Him. We yield ourselves completely to Him. We declare our allegiance to Jesus and our cooperation with Him. We celebrate our dependence on Jesus to accomplish His purposes in and through us for His glory, which alone is His because He is Lord.
