2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah,
Though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;
Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Introduction
Introduction
Last week was “The King is Here,” and that He still heals, still delivers, and still performs miracles.
This week, “That’s My King.” Some of this is from Dr. S.M. Lockridge. Dr. Lockridge was a Baptist pastor in Texas and then California. He pastored from 1942-1993, and passed away in 2000.
About My King
About My King
My King rules eternally…there is no beginning and no end to His reign. But more importantly, My King is full of mercy and grace, full of power and glory, full of peace and joy, and comes with healing for your soul and eternal life for your spirit.
God is full of mercy and grace
Adam and Eve
Cain
David with Uriah and Bathsheba - , Psalm 51
God is full of power and glory
Shadrach, Meshach and Aded-nego
Daniel in the lion’s Den
Isaiah’s vision and call in chapter 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
The whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:1-
God is full of peace, joy, healing, and eternal life
By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
We can try to describe Jesus. We can try to put into words the work and power of the Holy Ghost. We can try to explain the limitless, timelessness, all-powerful nature of God. But our words always seem to come short. Dr. Lockridge, that I mentioned earlier, come as close as anyone, in a sermon many years ago. Some of you may have heard parts of it, and I have taken parts to tell you this morning.
From Dr. Lockridge:
From Dr. Lockridge:

He’s the miracle of the age
He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him

His Word is enough
His grace is sufficient
His reign is righteous
His yoke is easy, and His burden is light
He’s indescribable
He’s incomprehensible

The heavens of heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explain Him
You can’t get Him out of your minds
You can’t get Him off of your hands
You can’t outlive Him
And you can’t live without Him
The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him,
but they found out they couldn’t stop Him
Pilot 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
He always has been

There was nobody before Him
and there will be nobody after Him
You can’t impeach Him
and He’s not gonna resign
