He is sovereign Lord of all!




The following is from Jonathan Edwards sermon,
    "The Excellency of Jesus Christ"

Christ, as he is God, is infinitely great and high above all.

He is higher than the kings of the earth,
for he is King of kings, and Lord of lords.

He is higher than the heavens, and higher
   than the highest angels of heaven.

So great is he, that all men, all kings and
princes, are as worms of the dust before him.

All nations are as the drop of the bucket, and the
light dust of the balance, yes, and angels themselves
are as nothing before him. He is so high, that he is
infinitely above any need of us, so above our reach
that we cannot be profitable to him, and so above our
conceptions that we cannot comprehend him.

Christ is the Creator and great Possessor of heaven and earth.

He is sovereign Lord of all!

He rules over the whole universe,
and does whatsoever pleases him.

His knowledge is without bound.
His wisdom is perfect, and what none can circumvent.
His power is infinite, and none can resist him.
His riches are immense and inexhaustible.
His majesty is infinitely full of awe.

Yet,  his condescension is sufficient to take a
gracious notice of the most unworthy, sinful
creatures, those that have no good deservings,
and those that have infinite ill-deservings.
