"HE IS LORD OF LORDS, THE ALMIGHTY." Jesus our Lord with supreme authority rules over all. He has all power in heaven and in earth. He does according to His own irresistible will. All creatures are under His control and must obey Him to fulfil His eternal plan. He claims all as Creator, reigns over all as Mediator. He commands all to fulfil His pleasure. He is worthy of our highest praise. All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. We can go to no place, and justly say, Jesus does not reign here. We cannot lay our hand on anything, and say, Jesus has no claim to this. We can refer to no event, and say, Jesus will not overrule this. He knows all and claims all He knows. He presides over all He claims. He uses for His glory all over whom He presides. Everything is at His beck: the fish of the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, the angels above, even the devil and his host, the souls in hell, the glorified in heaven, sinners and saints on earth. He is Lord of all. He sits at God's right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

For Meditation:
Worthy the Lamb of boundless sway,
In earth and heaven He's Lord of all;
Him all the hosts on high obey;
Let men before His footstool fall.
