“If Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God, equal with God, having the same nature with the Father, the only begotten of the Father, then he is fit to  be our Lord, the absolute proprietor of our persons, worthy to receive all the homage and service we can possibly offer.  The word here rendered Lord has a long history and is interesting.  It is the word used in the Septuagint to translate the words Jehovah and Adonai; the former denoting the self-existent, independent, eternal and unchangeable I AM; the latter expressing his authority and sovereignty over us.”  William S. Plumer  (1802-1880)
