My King
by Dr. S.M. 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. That's my King. Well....I
wonder, do you know Him?.... David said, "The Heavens declare the glory
of God and the firmament shows 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 ever crossed the horizon of this world.
He's God's Son....He's a sinner's Saviour....He's the centerpiece of
civilization....He stands in the solitude of Himself....He's
august....He's unique....He's unparalleled....He's
unprecedented....He's the loftiest idea in literature....He's the
highest personality in philosophy....He's the supreme problem in higher
criticism....He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology....He's the
cardinal necessity for spiritual religion....He's the miracle of the
age.... He's the superlative of everything good that you choose to call
Him....He's the only one 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 sympathizes and He saves....He strengthens and
sustains....He guards and He guides....He heals the sick....He cleanses
lepers....He forgives sinners....He discharges debtors....He delivers
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?
My King....is the
King....He's the key to knowledge....He's the wellspring to
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?
His office is manifold....His promise is sure....His light 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, but He's
indescribable....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
hand....You can't out live Him, and you can't live without Him....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. Yea!!!, that's my
King, that's my King.
I wonder, do you know Him?
