This is MY King!


I read this a few years ago when I was doing my certificates in Bible.
That is MY King. Hallelujah.

He is:
the King of the Jews,

the King of Israel,

the King of all the Ages,

the King of Heaven, the King of Glory,

the King of Kings; and Lord of Lords.


Do you know Him? Do you
really?


A prophet before Moses,

A priest after Melchizidek,

A champion like Joshua,

An offering in place for Isaac,

A King from the line of David,

A wise counselor above Solomon,

A beloved/rejected/exalted son like Joseph-


And yet far more
...

The Heavens declare His glory...

and the firmament shows His handiwork.
He who is,
who was,

and who always will be;

The First and the Last

He is the Alpha and Omega,

the Aleph and the Tau,

the A and the Z;

He is the first fruits of them that slept.


He is the "I AM that I AM"

The voice of the Burning Bush!

-the Captain of the Lord's Host

-the Conqueror of Jericho


He is enduringly strong
;

-entirely sincere

-eternally steadfast


He is immortally graceful
;

-imperially powerful

-impartially merciful


In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

The very God of very God.

He is our Kinsman-Redeemer and He is our Avenger of Blood;

He is our City of Refuge;

Our Performing High Priest;

Our Personal Prophet,

Our Reigning King.


He is the loftiest idea in literature,

He's the highest personality in philosophy,

He's the fundamental doctrine of theology,

He's the Supreme Problem in "higher criticism"!

He's the Miracle of the Ages;

the superlative of everything good.


We are the beneficiaries of a Love Letter:

It was written in blood,

on a wooden cross

erected in Judea

2,000 years ago.


He was crucified on a cross of wood;

Yet He made the hill on which it stood.


By Him were all things made that were made;

without Him was not anything made that was made;

By Him all things are held together!


What held Him to that cross?

It wasn't the nails!

(At any time He could have declared, "I'm out of here!")

It was His love for you and me.


He was born of a woman

so that we could be born of God;
He humbled Himself

so that we could be lifted up;

He became a servant

so that we could be made co-heirs;

He suffered rejection

so that we could become His friends;

He denied Himself

so that we could freely receive all things;

He gave Himself

so that He could bless us in every way.


He is available to the tempted and tried;

He blesses the young;

He cleanses the lepers;

He delivers the captives;

He discharges the debtors;

He forgives the sinners;

He franchises the meek;

He guards the besieged;

He heals the sick;

He provides strength for the weak;

He regards the aged;

He rewards the diligent;

He serves the unfortunate;

He sympathizes and He saves!


His Offices are manifold;

His Reign is righteous;

His Promises are sure;

His Goodness is limitless;

His Light is matchless;

His Grace is sufficient;

His Love never changes;

His Mercy is everlasting;

His Word is enough;

His Yoke is easy and His burden is light!


He is indescribable;

He is incomprehensible;

He is irresistible;

He is invincible!


The Heaven of heavens contain Him;

Man cannot explain Him,

the Pharisees couldn't stand Him and they learned they couldn't stop Him;

Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him;

the witnesses couldn't agree against Him.


Herod couldn't kill Him

death couldn't handle Him

the grave couldn't hold Him!


He has always been and He always will be;

He had no predecessor and will have no successor;

You can't impeach Him and He isn't going to resign!


His Name is above every other name;

That at the Name of Yeshua

Every knee shall bow

Every tongue shall confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord!

His is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory... for ever, and ever. Amen!



And that doesn't even begin to describe Him.
My God is great! All glory to Him forever.

love and blessings,
maddi
