Jesus Christ was not merely a human being. He was not merely a famous religious teacher.Jesus Christ is Lord of all.This radical claim from the Bible has profound implications for every area of life—for every person and every facet of society. Drawing on key biblical texts, Vern Poythress explores what acknowledging the authority of Christ means for the way we should think and act. Unpacking how this authority affects spheres of life such as religion, politics, science, art, education, and the future, Poythress helps us pursue obedience to Christ as an expression of our gratitude and devotion—and our anticipation of the joy promised to us when we serve him with all of our heart. Encourages Christians to see Christ not only as their Savior but also as their LordAddresses common traps that keep Christians from serving Christ in everything, at all timesExplores the implications of the lordship of Christ for all spheres of lifeAuthor has written prolifically on what it means to be God-centered in a variety of disciplines, including logic, science, philosophy, and mathematics
