Sermon Title: "A Message that Promises Hope " - Eighth Sermon in "Acts" Series
Text: Acts 3:11-26
"Our Indescribable God
He’s enduringly strong,
He’s entirely sincere, He’s eternally
steadfast, He’s imminently graceful, He’s
impersonally powerful, He’s impartially merciful;
He’s the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed
the horizon of this world; He’s God’s
Son, He’s the sinner’s savior, He’s the
centerpiece of civilization, He stands in the solitude of
Himself, He’s august and He’s unique, He’s
unparalleled, He’s unprecedented; He’s the
loftiest idea in literature, He’s the highest
personality in philosophy, He is the supreme problem in
higher-criticism, He’s the fundamental doctrine of
true theology, He’s the correlating 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 savior. ( I wonder if you know Him.)
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 cleansed the leper, He
forgives sinners, He discharges debtors, he delivers the
captive, He defends the feeble, He blesses the young, He
serves the unfortunate, He regards the aged, He rewards
the diligent, He beautifies the meek. (I wonder if you
know him.)
He’s the key to knowledge, He’s the well-spring
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. (Do you know Him?)
Well, His office is manifold, His promise is sure, His
life 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,
yes He is! He’s incomprehensible, He’s
invincible, He’s irresistible. 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 with 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! That’s my King!
That’s my King!"
