Knight Or Lord?

Chivalry is described as a medieval system of knighthood; knightly qualities, bravery, courtesy, respect for woman. True knighthood, professional military officers, only lasted less than one hundred years as leaders of cavalry forces. The knight grew to be what was described as a moving fortress, with his armor developing from reinforced leather to sheets of molded metals. Well anyway, with the introduction of gunpowder and advanced infantry strategies, the knight was just getting in the way of the battle and soon found himself out of a job. The warrior may be gone, but knighthood, in a sense, still exists as an honor bestowed upon those found to highly possess the aptitudes of chivalry. Now, I’m no knight in shining armor, nor a Romeo romantic, but I tend to think that bravery, courtesy and respect for women courses in my veins enough I’ve not been domed to a life of wimp-hood. What I really want to know is, what happened to the door lock on the passenger side of our automobiles? How’s a man suppose to shine his chivalry when he can’t even open the door for his wife anymore? Even the little remote pushbutton door unlocker thingy doesn’t unlock any door but the drivers. Then the rest of the doors have to be manually unlocked from the drivers door. First they took away the bench seat, whereupon you just slid your girlfriend in on the drivers side, put in bucket seats, and now in the name of paranoiac security we have to leave our loved one out in the open, unattended, while we unlock the doors. What’s this world coming to?
A group of women were debating what constituted the perfect man. You would have thought they would decide on some actor or athlete or even a wealthy tycoon. They decided that the perfect man was Mr. Potato Head. They gave four reasons for their conclusion. He’s tan; he’s cute; he knows the importance of accessorizing; and if he looks at another woman you can rearrange his face. Now, that’s just not right!!
My father said he didn’t like women who drive from the back seat. My mother said back-seat-drivers were no worse than men who cook from the dining room table.
[John 14:6] Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus came into the world “to seek and save what was lost”. (Luke 19:10) His salvation is offered to all without distinction. Christ invites the poor, the oppressed, peoples of all nations, Jews and Gentiles, all to be saved in exactly the same way. Slaves and masters stand as equals in His sight. (Mark 16:15-16; Luke 14:21-23; Acts 10:1-11:18; Ephesians 2:11-22; Galatians 3:28) Though He has assigned men and women their respective roles, He treats them both as fellow heirs of the grace of life. (1 Peter 3:7) Is Jesus your knight in shining armor? Do you see Him sitting on a white horse, “Defender Of Righteousness”? Maybe that’s why people are looking to religion as “out dated” and needing revision. Jesus is much more than a knight. Peter said, “He is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which he must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12) Paul said, “...God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ...and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” Jesus is Lord, Ruler, over all things. (Hebrews 1:1-4) Jesus has unlocked and opened the door to salvation.
