One of the greatest statements ever made about the person of Jesus was made by the great preacher S. M. Lockridge (born Shadrach Meshach Lockridge, March 7, 1913 – April 4, 2000).
Dr. Lockridge says of Jesus:
He’s the sinner’s savior
He’s the centerpiece of civilization
He stands alone in Himself
He’s Unique
He’s unparalleled
He’s unprecedented
He’s supreme
He’s preeminent
He’s the loftiest idea in literature
The highest concept in philosophy
The fundamental truth in theology
And the cardinal necessity of religion
He’s the miracle of the age
He supplies strength for the weak
He’s available for the tempted and the tried
He sympathizes and he saves
He guards and he guides
He heals the sick
He cleans the 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
He beautifies the meek
Do you know him?
He’s the king of knowledge
The well-spring of wisdom
The doorway of deliverance
The pathway of peace
He’s the roadway of righteousness
The highway of holiness
The gateway of glory
The master of the mighty
The captain of the conquerors
The head of the heroes
The leader of the legislators
The overseer of the overcomers
He’s the governor of governors
He’s the prince of princes
He’s the King of kings and the Lord of lords
Do you know him?
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’m trying to describe him to you
But the problem is
He’s indescribable
He’s irresistible
He’s incomprehensible
He’s invincible
The Pharisees hated him
The Jews rejected him
Pilate condemned him
The Romans crucified him
Our sins killed him
The rich man buried him
But the grave could not hold him
And death could not handle him
And he rose triumphant on the third day
And he ascended into Heaven
And he sits enthroned at the right hand of the Father
He is the Lord of Heaven
The Lord of the Church
The Lord of our lives
He is our High Priest in Heaven
He is our coming King
That’s who Jesus is
Do you know him?
