OUR SAVIOUR

OUR SAVIOUR
SELECTED PASSAGES

BRIEF EXPOSITION 57
...without the coming of the Lord into the world,
no mortal could have been saved,
and they are saved who believe in Him,
and live well.

ARCANA COELESTIA 14.
In the following work,
by the name Lord
is meant the Savior of the world,
Jesus Christ, and Him only;

and He is called "the Lord"
without the addition of other names.
Throughout the universal heaven
He it is who is acknowledged and adored as Lord,

because He has all sovereign power
in the heavens and on earth.
He also commanded His disciples so to call Him, saying,

"You call Me Lord, and you say well, for I am."
(John 13:13) 

And after His resurrection
His disciples called Him "the Lord."
