Preached By The Late Rev. Dr. S.M. Lockridge

MY KING IS: The King of the Jews - that's a racial King. The King of Israel - that's a national King; The King of Glory; the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The heavens declare the glory of God, the firmament shows His handiwork.

My King is... A sovereign King. No means of measure can define His limitless Love! No far-reaching telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shortest supply! No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings!

He's enduringly strong!... He's entirely sincere! He's imperially powerful! He's impartially merciful! He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world!

He's God's Son... The sinner's savior! The centerpiece of civilization! He stands in the solitude of Himself!

He's august and unique!... He's unparalleled! He's unprecedented! He is 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 core necessity for spiritual religion. He's the miracle of the ages! He's the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him!

He's the only one qualified to be an all-sufficient Savior!... He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and 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 beautifies the meek.

My King is the key to knowledge: The wellspring of wisdom; the doorway of deliverance; the pathway of peace; the roadway of righteousness; the highway of holiness, and 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 reign is Righteous. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

I wish I could describe Him for you, but He's indescribable! He's Incomprehensible! He's invincible! He's Irresistible!

You can't get Him out of your mind or off your hands! 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 agree. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him!

That's my King, That's my King, That's my King, and He's the kingdom and the power and the glory - Forever! AMEN!!! I wonder...do you know Him? - Rev. SM Lockridge
