That's My King!

I've heard people copy parts of Dr Lockridges' sermons but none are as neat as hearing his own voice.  I made a copy of this (below) for my Ladies class last night. I am a big believer in the power of words.  Especially the spoken word. In this case?  Dr Lockridge uses the Bible to describe our Lord.  My absolute favorite part is after minutes of talking about the Lord he says, "I wish I could describe Him to you, but He's indescribable..." !  In truth, there are not enough words to describe the full power of our Lord, but there sure are a lot the DO describe Him, certianly the parts of His nature we can grasp.  I do need to say Dr Lockridge seemed to change the words around slightly with every telling of this "That's My God" so the words below ARE his, but maybe not exactly as the video above.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have:)




That’s My King!
By Dr. 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. 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.......That’s my King! 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 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…..That‘s my King ..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...... 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....... Do you know Him? Well, 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.......

....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.

Well, 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. He always has been and he always will be…He had no predecessors ….and He’ll have no Successor…..There was nobody before Him….and they’ll be nobody after Him…..You can’t impeach Him….and He’s not going to resign. That’s My King!!!

..."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 when you get through with all the forevers, then.... AMEN!
