Lord and servant

Our Lord has accomplished something in history — in his life, death, resurrection, and ascension — that qualifies him to be the judge and the justifier of the ungodly. Jesus is both the Lord of the Covenant who commands and the Servant of the Covenant who fulfills all righteousness and wins for us forgiveness, the new birth, resurrection, and the renewal of the whole creation.
