TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 22ND MARCH 2025 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 22nd March 2025, Saturday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: The B-I-B-L-E: “Fairest Lord Jesus
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:3
Recommended Reading: Colossians 1:16-17
“Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.”
Compared to other Sunday school songs, “Fairest Lord Jesus” is more complicated when it comes to childlike lyrics. The only thing we know about this hymn is that it is old—from as far back as the seventeenth century—and it has gone through many revisions. But the contemporary version’s four stanzas are filled with images from nature children can easily identify with. And the theme is clear: Jesus is Lord over all creation—nature and man alike.
The lordship of Christ is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. Paul wrote in Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (NIV). That is a tenet of faith for children and adults alike.
The implications of Christ’s lordship are never-ending. If Jesus is Lord, we are called to serve Him in all things—from childhood until He comes again.
The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord.
