Give Me Jesus - by Anna Graham Lotz

I mentioned at the close of the sermon yesterday I wished I had time to read this, but I am posting it here.  This is from Anna Graham Lotz's book "Give Me Jesus."  

He is enduringly strong
He is entirely sincere
He is eternally steadfast
He is immortally gracious
He is imperially powerful
He is impartially merciful
He is the greatest phenomenon who has ever crossed the horizons of the globe
He is God’s Son
He is the sinners savior
He is the captives ransom
He is the breath of life
He is the centerpiece of civilization
He stands in the solitude of Himself
He is august
He is unique
He is unparalleled
He is unprecedented
He is undesputed and He is undefiled
He is unsurpassed and He is unshakable
He is the lofty idea in philosophy
He is the highest personality in psychology
He is the supreme subject in literature
He is the unavoidable problem in higher criticism
He is the fundamental doctrine of theology
He is the cornerstone, the capstone and stumbling stone of all religion.
He is the miracle of the ages.
No means of measure can define His limitless love
No far seeing telescope can bring Him to visibility, the coastline of His shroreless supply
No Barrier can hinder Him for pouring out His blessings
He forgives and He forgets. He creates and He cleanses.
He restores and He rebuilds.
He heals and He helps. He reconciles and He redeems. He comforts and He carries. He lifts and He loves.
He is the God of the second chance, the fat chance, the slim chance, and the no chance.
He discharges debtors
He delivers the captives
He defends the feeble
He blesses the young
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the ages
He beautifies the meek
He is enduringly strong.
He is entirely sincere.
He is eternally steadfast.
He is immortally gracious.
He is imperially powerful.
He is unparalleled and He is unprecedented.
He is impartially merciful.
He is the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizons of the globe.
He is the sinner’s Savior.
He is the captive’s Ransom.
He is the Breath of Life.
He supplies strength to the weary.
He increases power to the faint.
He offers escape to the tempted.
He sympathizes with the hurting.
He saves the hopeless.
He shields the helpless.
He sustains the homeless.
He gives purpose to the aimless.
He gives reason to the meaningless.
He gives fulfillment to our emptiness.
He gives light in the darkness.
He gives comfort in our loneliness.
He gives fruit in the barrenness.
He gives future to the Hopeless.
He gives Heaven to the hopeless.
He gives life to the lifeless.
He finds the lost.
He gives life to the lifeless.
He heals the sick.
He guards the young.
He seeks the stray.
He guides the faithful.
He rights the wrong.
He avenges the abused.
He defends the weak.
He cleanses the dirty.
He mends the broken.
He blesses the poor.
He fills the empty.
He clothes the naked.
He satisfies the hungry.
He raises the dead.
He is indestructible.
He is invincible.
He is irresistible.
He makes change possible.
He makes happiness attainable.
He makes resources ample, and suffering understandable.
He makes sin forgivable, and Heaven available.
He makes God visible.
His life is matchless, and His goodness is limitless.
His mercy is enough, and His grace sufficient.
His reign is righteous.
His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him but they found they couldn’t stop Him.
Satan tried to tempt Him but found he couldn’t trip Him.
Pilot examined Him on trail but found he couldn’t fault Him.
The Romans crucified Him but found they couldn’t take His life.
Death couldn’t handle Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him.

He had no predecessor, and He will have no successor.
He is a Lion and He is a Lamb.
He is God and He is man
He is the seven-way King.
He is the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King
The King of Israel – that’s a national King
The King of righteousness – that’s a moral King
He is the King of the ages – that’s an eternal King
the King of Heaven – that’s a universal King
The King of glory – that’s a celestial King
He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
