The Excellency of Christ

Christ's excellency (opposite ends of the spectrum brought to one place) brings to the picture every aspect of Who He is. 

• He is the God-Man...when he fell asleep in the hinder part of the boat He was man(he slept); but when He stepped to the bow and spoke to the storm He was God(there was a great calm)
• He is the Lion and the Lamb...Lion meaning royalty, power, strength...Lamb meaning gentlness, humbleness, led without a single word to the cross.
• Alpha & Omega...everything that needs to be said, expressed, everything that you can possibly need or want can be expressed between Alpha and Omega.

This is why it is impossible to know Him as Savior but not experience Him as Lord.  I read about this doctrine a few years ago and all of it's silliness.  Can you jump in the river and not get wet?  Can you touch a flame and not get burned?  Can you jump off the Empire State Building and not fall down?
Falling down is a part of the experience of jumping off; getting burned is a part of the experience of touching an open flame; getting wet is inherently  a part of jumping in a river; AND experiencing Him as Lord is a part of proclaiming Him as Savior.
