The name 'Lord' was attributed to Christ in relation to the glory

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III




The name 'Lord' was attributed to Christ in relation to the glory. St. Peter the Apostle said: "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" (2 Pet.3:18). It is obvious that this verse indicates Christ's Divinity. Of course, there is a vast difference between 'a lord' and 'the Lord'. In addition to this, the expression 'our Lord and Saviour' is used only in connection with God, especially when the words 'To Him be the glory both now and forever' are added to it.
St. James the Apostle says in gentle reproach: "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of g1ory, with partiality" (Jas.2: 1). The Apostle emphasizes that faith should not be without good works. The importance of this verse lies in the terms 'our Lord', and 'the Lord of glory' and in their connection with faith which is used only when talking about God.
