That's My King!

That's My King!

From Sermon by Pastor S.M. Lockridge

The Bible says he’s the King of the Jews. He’s the King of Israel. 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. That’s my king! I wonder, do you know him?

My king is a sovereign king. No means of measure can define his limitless love. 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 sinner’s Savior. He’s the centerpiece of civilization. He’s unparalleled. He is unprecedented. He’s the loftiest idea in literature. He’s the highest idea in philosophy. He’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology. He’s the only one qualified to be an all-sufficient Savior. I wonder if you know him today.

He supplies strength for the weak. He’s available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and he saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and he guides. He heals the sick. He forgives sinners. He discharges debtors. He delivers the captive. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. He beautifies the meager. I wonder if you know Him?

He’s the key to knowledge. He’s the wellspring of wisdom. He’s the doorway to deliverance. He’s the pathway of peace. He’s the roadway of righteousness. He’s the highway of holiness. He’s the gateway to glory. Do you know him?

Well, 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 righteousness. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

I wish I could describe him to you. He’s indescribable. He’s incomprehensible. He’s invincible. He’s irresistible.

Well, you can’t get him out of your mind; you can’t. You can’t get him off your hands. You can’t outthink him. You can’t outlive him. You can’t outlast 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. Herod couldn’t kill him. Death couldn’t handle him. And the grave couldn’t hold him. That’s my king! Yes, yes, yes, you are my King!

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever and ever and ever and ever--how long is that? And ever and ever and ever…and when you’re through with all the forevers, then amen, amen…Yes, you are my king! Thank God, thank God, almighty God, you are my king, amen and amen!”
