My King Is

The Bible says my king is a seven-way king. Hes the king of the Jews: thats a racial king. Hes the king of Israel: thats a national king. Hes the king of righteousness. Hes the king of the ages. Hes the king of heaven. Hes the king of glory. Hes the king of kings. Besides being a seven way king, Hes the Lord of lords. Thats my king. Well, I wonder, do you know him? David said, The heavens declare the glory of God, and 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 shorless suppy. No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings. Hes enduringly strong. Hes entirely sincere. Hes eternally steadfast. Hes immortally graceful. Hes infinitely powerful. Hes impartially merciful. Do you know Him? Hes the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of the world. Hes Gods Son. Hes the sinners Savior. Hes the centerpiece of civilization. He stands in the solitude of Himself. Hes honest and Hes unique. Hes unparalleled. Hes unprecedented. He is the loftiest idea in literature. Hes the highest personality in philosophy. He is the supreme problem in higher criticism. Hes the fundamental doctrine of true theology. Hes the core, the necessity for spiritual religion. Hes the miracle of the ages. Yes, He is. Hes the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him. Hes the only one qualified to be our all-sufficiency. I wonder if you know Him today. He supplies strength for the weak. Hes available for the tempted and tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses the leper. He forgives the sinner. 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. And He beautifies the meek. I wonder if you know Him. Well, this is my king. Hes the key to knowledge. Hes the wellspring of wisdom. Hes the doorway of deliverance. Hes the pathway of peace. Hes the roadway of righteousness. Hes the highway of holiness. Hes 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. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you. Hes indescribable. Hes incomprehensible. Hes invincible. Hes irresistible. Well, you cant get Him out of your mind. You cant get Him off of your hand. You cant outlive Him and you cant live without Him. The Pharisees couldnt stand Him, but they found they couldnt stop Him. Pilate couldnt find any fault in Him. Herod couldnt kill Him. Death couldnt handle Him, and the grave couldnt hold Him. Thats my king! And Thine is the kingdom and power and the glory forever 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! Good God Almighty! Amen!
