Jesus is Lord of Lord.

This is one of the most majestic and definitive titles given to Jesus Christ, declaring His absolute, supreme authority over all powers, both earthly and spiritual. It is a confession of His ultimate sovereignty.

Here is a poem and reflection on this profound truth.

Lord of Lords

The titles crowd the earthly stage, Of president,and king, and sage. They rise to power,they have their hour, They wield their finite,human power.

But there is One who stands above, Sustained by everlasting love. Before whom every knee will bow, And every single crown endow Its honor at His wounded feet— His reign is total,and complete.

“He is Lord of lords…” (Revelation 17:14) The highest title that can be. “And King of kings.”The universe Sings His name in endless verse.

He is not merely one of many, A lord of some,or even any. He is theLord of lords supreme, The author of the cosmic theme. The source from which all power flows, The one who every ruler knows Holds their breath within His hand, And rules o’er every single land.

“For by him all things were created… all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”(Colossians 1:16-17)

The demonic powers, the spiritual forces, Must all now yield to His great courses. The prince of darkness,he must flee, Before the Lord of lords’decree. For Christ has triumphed,He has won, The final victory’s been done.

And so my heart, in humble awe, Accepts this truth beyond all law. That Jesus Christ,the Son of God, Who wore the thorn-pierced crown,and trod The path of sorrow for my sake, Is Lord of all,for heaven’s sake.

So let the lords of earth now see, And let the powers and authorities Know this one thing,and know it well: Jesus is Lord.And heaven and hell Acknowledge His supreme domain, Forevermore,His right to reign.

Jesus is Lord of lords. This is our hope. This is our confidence. This is our peace.

Understanding the Title:

Calling Jesus "Lord of lords" is the ultimate statement of His authority.

1. It Declares His Supremacy Over Earthly Rulers (Kings, Presidents, Governments): Every human authority is derivative and temporary. They only have power because God allows it (John 19:11; Romans 13:1). Jesus’s authority is inherent and eternal. He is the one true Sovereign.

2. It Declares His Victory Over Spiritual Powers (Demons, Satan, Principalities): This title proclaims Christ's absolute domination over the spiritual realm. At the cross, He “disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” (Colossians 2:15). He is the Commander of the armies of heaven.

3. It is a Personal Confession of Allegiance: To call Jesus "Lord of lords" is to personally submit to His rule over every area of our own lives. If He is Lord of all, then He must be Lord of my all—my decisions, my resources, my relationships, my future.

4. It is a Prophetic Reality: This title looks forward to the end of history when every being in creation will be forced to acknowledge it. “Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

A Prayer of Response:

"Lord Jesus, I confess today that You are the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Every power in heaven and on earth is subject to You. Forgive me for the times I have lived as if I were the lord of my own life, or when I have feared other powers more than I have trusted in Your supreme authority.

I bow my heart and my will before You today. Rule over me. Be the Lord of my thoughts, my words, and my actions. I take comfort and courage in knowing that the One who is in charge of all things is also my Savior and my Friend.

Thank you for Your victorious reign. I worship You, the Lord of all.

Amen."
