Greetings
Dear Reader,
The weary soldiers are enjoying an imposed sleep. They will be
paid well later to lie. No one else is there to see him in the moment.
Many will see him later but I wonder if it would have encouraged him had
just one of his followers been there to greet him. My sin killed my King.
The saw that as fit payment for my sin and used it to pardon me. I can
never quite find the words to express my feelings but every Resurrection Sunday
I listen to the following words from the beloved S. M. Lockridge. They
come as close as anything I have ever heard.
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?
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....... Do you
know Him?
Well....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.
Father..."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!....AMEN!
Why do
you look for the living among the dead?
Wishing
you joy in the journey,
Aramis

Mat
13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every scribe who has become a
disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a home owner. He brings new and old
things out of his treasure store."
