my Sabbath is my King My Sabbath is my King...Hmmn what could that possibly mean. Well when Jesus gave his life for me, he became the King of Kings for me. Lord of Lords. Paul wrote to strive for one thing. Would that be material prosperity? Political clout? Leadership positions in the world? What could it be? Paul said to strive to enter into the peace that is the Gospel of Christ. Our rest is found each day in Jesus. Who he is and who he should be to us. So before we start our ambitious days, we need to bow down and defer. Defer to Christ Jesus. We have the mind of Christ as believers. The word says to daily renew our minds. Some of you may say I don't have time to read in the mornings. Well I am sure in hearing that some would say well make time. My answer to that is "pray without ceasing". I am sure many people's responses to that is "How can I pray all the time?" Prayer is communication. It is no different than looking at a dress and thinking, God is this what you want for me? Its simply a little effort to come to a place where he is involved in all of your life each day. Prayer is more than talking. It is listening and if we spend more time being a listener than a projector, then we will be hearing God's imprint in our lives. Jesus is my sabbath. Its not a day its not a time or place. It is Jesus. He is my all in all. All in all in an imperfect being like me. Wow... I am made complete,perfect and righteous in him, sanctified by who he is, and all because of what he did. I point to what he did, and I proclaim...Jesus you are who you say you are. The way, the Truth and the Life. Prince of Peace, the Mighty Conqueror, Lord of Lords....and yet he says....I no longer call you servant... but friend. |

Agreed and everyday we rest in His work. We wouldn't be saved if this weren't so. Not sure why many don't see this. Blessings   "Love is Patient..."

It's not a book its a sermon. "That's My King" The late Dr. S. M. Lockeridge, a pastor from San Diego, California said these words in a sermon in Detroit in 1976: My King was born King. The Bible says He's a Seven Way King. He's the King of the Jews - that's an Ethnic 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 is the Lord of lords. Now that's my King. Well, I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don't try to mislead me. Do you know my King? David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. My King is the only one of whom there are no means of measure that can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of the shore of His supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. That's my King. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's saviour. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He's honest. He's unique. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He's supreme. He's pre-eminent. He's the grandest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the supreme problem in higher criticism. He's the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He's the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That's my King. 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 able to supply all our needs simultaneously. He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He's the Almighty God who guides and keeps all his people. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharged 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 He beautifies the meek. That's my King. Do you know Him? Well, my King is a King of knowledge. He's the wellspring of 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. He's the master of the mighty. He's the captain of the conquerors. He's the head of the heroes. He's the leader of the legislatures. He's the overseer of the overcomers. He's the governor of governors. He's the prince of princes. He's the King of kings and He's the Lord of lords. That's my King. 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. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you . . . but He's indescribable. That's my King. He's incomprehensible, He's invincible, and He is irresistible. I'm coming to tell you this, that the heavens of heavens can't contain Him, let alone some man explain Him. You can't get Him out of your mind. 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. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree about Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him. That's my King. He always has been and He always will be. I'm talking about the fact that He had no predecessor and He'll have no successor. There's nobody before Him and there'll be nobody after Him. You can't impeach Him and He's not going to resign. That's my King! That's my King! Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Well, all the power belongs to my King. We're around here talking about black power and white power and green power, but in the end all that matters is God's power. Thine is the power. Yeah. And the glory. We try to get prestige and honor and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever. How long is that? Forever and ever and ever and ever. . . And when you get through with all of the ever's, then . . .Amen!
