Kyrios ranged from a polite “sir” to the supreme title of a master or ruler. Crucially, the Greek Old Testament used kyrios to render the divine name, so calling Jesus “Lord” in the fullest sense ascribes deity to him.

The earliest Christian confession was “Jesus is Lord” (Romans 10:9). It means he is rightful master of all — a claim that costs everything and gives everything, since this Lord is also the Savior who gave himself for us.
