How Do You Describe Him?
Famous Sermon by Dr. Lockridge.
The
Bible says my King is a seven way King. He's the King of the Jews
- that's a racial King; He's the King of Israel - that's a national
King; He's the King of Righteousness, He's the King of the ages, He's
the King of Heaven, He's the King of Glory, He's the King of
Kings and He's the Lord of Lords!
He's my King, Well, I wonder - Do you know Him?
David
said the Heaven's declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth
His handiwork. My King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can
define His limitless love, no far seeing telescope can bring into
visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply, no barrier can
hinder Him from pouring out His blessings.
He's
enduringly strong, He's entirely sincere, He's eternally steadfast,
He's immortally graceful, He's imperially powerful, He's impartially
merciful,
Do you know Him?
He's
the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this
world! He's God's son, He's the sinners Saviour, He's the centrepiece
of civilisation, He stands in the solitude of Himself, He's awesome and
He's unique! He's unparalleled, He's unprecedented, He's the loftiest
idea in literature, He's the highest personality in philosophy, He is
the supreme problem in higher criticism, He's the fundamental doctrine
of true theology, He is the cause and necessity of spiritual religion.
He's the miracle of the age, He is - yes He is, He is the
superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him, He's
the only one who is qualified to be an all sufficient Saviour;
I wonder if you know Him today?
He supplies strength for the weak,
He's available for the tempted and the tried,
He sympathises and He saves,
He strengthens and sustains, He guards and He guides,
He heals the sick, He cleansed the lepers,
He forgives sinners, He discharges debtors,
He delivers the captives, He defends the feeble,
He blesses the young,
He serves the unfortunate,
He regards the aged,
He rewards the diligent and
He beautifies the meek
I wonder if you know Him?
Well,
my King He is a King! He's the key to knowledge, He's the well spring
of wisdom, He's the doorway of deliverance, He's the pathway of peace,
He's the roadway of righteousness, He's the highway of holiness,
He's the gateway of glory
Do you know Him?
Well,
His office is manifold, His promise is sure, His life is
matchless, His goodness is limitless, His mercy is everlasting,
His love never changes, His word is enough, His grace is sufficient,
His reign is righteous, and His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
I wish I could describe Him to you!
He's
indescribable, yes He is, He's incomprehensible, He's invincible, He's
irresistible, you can't get Him out of your mind, you can't get
Him off of your hands, you can't outlive Him and you can't live
without Him.
Well,
the Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop
Him, Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him, the witnesses couldn't get
their testimonies to agree, Herod couldn't kill Him, death
couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him!! That's my
Jesus! That's my King!
And
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever
and ever and ever (how long is that?!) and ever and ever and when you
get through all of the forevers then AMEN! Good God Almighty,
AMEN! AMEN!
