Rejecting our Lord’s authority

Who is the Lord that I should obey him…? I don’t know the Lord… (Exodus 5:2)

I doubt many Christians would be so bold as Pharaoh was in outright rejecting the Lord’s authority in their lives and saying, “Who is the Lord that I should obey him? I don’t know him!”

But how quick are we to make excuses as to why we won’t obey him?

To reject what he has so clearly said in his word?

To ignore his Spirit when he convicts us of sin in our lives?

We might as well say, “Who is the Lord that I should obey him? I don’t know the Lord.”

If there are two words that do not fit together, they are “No, Lord.”

If Jesus truly is our Lord, how can we say no to him?
