People are confused when the Bible say, “One Lord”. There are times that the Bible refer it to our Lord God and sometimes it refers to our Lord Jesus Christ. But it is one of the reason why people thought that Christ is God because He is called Lord.
Is it really true that there is only one Lord and who is it? Apostle Paul answered it with a YES when he said, there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ.
6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. (I Corinthians 8:6, NIV)
It’s because Christ is the only one who was made Lord by our Lord God.
36″Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36, ibid)
To make it clear, there are actually two Lords that exist, just like what David saw:
43He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44″ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.” ‘[a] 45If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”(Matthew 22:43-45, ibid)
The Lord who said “Sit at my right hand…” is the Lord God and the Lord told to sit is the Lord Jesus Christ:
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1, ibid)
However, let us not forget that there is only one Lord God and one Lord Jesus Christ. Although they are both Lord but their Lordship is different.
The Lordship of God is native of Him. There is no beginning and there will be no end.
2 Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalms 90:2, ibid)
But the Lordship of Christ is just given by our Lord God.
36″Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36, ibid)
