Yes, Lord! by David Jeremiah

 

Yes, Lord!   She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is come into the world.” John 11:27   “Trading My Sorrows” was a popular praise song of a few years ago, and it had a rather simple chorus: “Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord.”

Recommended Reading: John 11: 20 – 27

That’s a wonderfully biblical phrase. In Matthew 9:28, when the blind men came to Jesus requesting healing, He asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said, “Yes, Lord.” When Jesus asked His disciples if they understood His parables, they said, “Yes, Lord” (Matthew 13:51). When Jesus spoke to the woman of Canaan who begged Him to help her daughter, she said, “Yes, Lord” (Matthew 15:27). When Jesus told Martha that He was the resurrection and the life, she said, “Yes, Lord” (John 11:27). And when Jesus said to Peter, “Do you love Me more than these?” Peter replied, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You” (John 21:15). In every way and at every moment, is that your heart’s response? When we say “Yes” to God, He will work in amazing ways in our lives. Our desire and prayer is, “Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord”!
