Acts 2:36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
I tend to use some of the names of Christ interchangeably. Jesus, Christ, Lord, Messiah, Savior, and other names for Jesus. This verse points out a distinction. God made Jesus Lord, and God made Jesus Messiah.
“Lord” is not just another name for Jesus, it means “supreme in authority” or “Master”.
“Messiah” or “Christ” means “the promised savior”.
In our own lives, Jesus fulfills both of these roles. He the Savior who has freed us from sin and separation from Him, and his is our Lord or Master. In the kingdom, He is our loving King, and we live our lives in a way that pleases Him and brings Him honor.
