Jesus is My King

Is it possible to fully describe Jesus Christ, our King? As many words as we have in the English language, there are still not enough to adequately describe the character and goodness of Jesus Christ, our loving Lord and Savior.

However, one of the best attempts ever made to describe our King came from Anne Graham Lotz in her book Just Give Me Jesus. Prior to her writing she was given a cassette tape labeled "My King Is...". It was a wonderful rendition of what King Jesus is to a preacher named S.M. Lockridge. She used the descriptions and added to them to include them in her book. The "poem" has thrilled my soul time and time again, and I pray that you will take time today and meditate on how King Jesus has touched your life. Do you know King Jesus?
