Commentary

 

Lord (as in ruler or master)

  
The Collapse of the Earl of Chatham in the House of Lords, by John Singleton Copley

Characters in the Bible will often address others using the term “my lord,” and it seems to be no more than an expression of respect. The name “the Lord” refers to the Divine Good, and that when the term “lord” is applied to men or angels it also refers to the desire to be good.
