Bible Vocabulary: Words that Should Be Better Understood; Part II: Lord

I am very happy to be back on the blogosphere. Thank you for waiting to read another fascinating herald.

Now, to business:
Did you know? The word 'lord' comes from an Old English word which, upon modernization, is 'loaf-ward,'  or bread-keeper / bread-guard. Guess what: Jesus is not just our bread-keeper, He is our Bread-giver!* He gives us His very body and blood to us (every) Sunday in, with, and under the forms of bread and wine, which body and blood strengthen and (what?) preserve, or keep, us unto life everlasting. Jesus is Lord, indeed!

*Although we can't shorten this the same way as 'lord,' since we'd get 'liver.'
