Our SuperVerse talks about how Jesus will have the government placed upon His shoulders. Jesus came to establish God’s kingdom—not a nation that can be drawn on a map, but a spiritual kingdom. Let’s dig into some of the verses that talk about Jesus as Lord. Have children look up and read verses aloud. Lead a discussion using questions below. Feel free to add any questions that you think will facilitate deeper discussion with your particular group. 

Acts 10:36:

This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

Paul was speaking to a Roman soldier named Cornelius. Cornelius was a Gentile who loved God and wanted to know about Jesus.

Who did Jesus come to save and be Lord over? All, everyone, Jews and Gentiles.

What is the Good News? That Jesus came to give us peace with God—restore a right relationship.

What does this tell us about Jesus’ Kingdom? Covers the world, He is truly Lord of lords.

1 Timothy 6:15–16:

For, at just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only Almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. He alone can never die, and He lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach Him. No human eye has ever seen Him, nor ever will. All honor and power to Him forever! Amen.

Paul was encouraging young Timothy to fight the good fight and to stay pure so no one could find fault with him. He wanted Timothy to know that Jesus would come back and all would know the truth.

How does this verse make you feel about Jesus?

Why is He worthy of being our Lord? He is worthy of our praise and obedience because God gave Him all authority and power and made Him Lord of lords and King of kings. He is everlasting and will never die. He cannot even be approached and looked upon by others, which includes earthly rulers and kings.

Philippians 2:9–11:

Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Did Jesus appoint Himself as Lord? No, God elevated Him and gave Him His name.

What happens at the mention of Jesus’ name? Everyone will bow to Him.

Is this something that will happen only on Earth? No, on Earth, in heaven, and under Earth.
