We are called to be servants of Christ and there will be no abiding sense of authenticity as long as we strive against this submission and allegiance. We were made to bow before the Son of God and to live for his honor. Until we do we will feel adrift in the universe and be plagued by a deep sense of inauthenticity. But, lest we misunderstand God's call, notice three things in the text that the Lordship of Christ implies. Verse 9 is the ground or basis of verse 8 and so we find the meaning of Christ's Lordship spelled out in verse 8.
Lordship implies possession.
He owns us. We are Christ's possession. And that is an unspeakable privilege. Therefore Christ's Lordship not only implies that we are his possession but that as his servants God supplies all our needs. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God .
