Daily Encounter: A Week-day Devotional by a staff of ACTS International.

Wednesday, December 31, 1969

”But what about you?" he [Jesus] asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."¹

Today’s Daily Encounter is the text of an inspiring message, “That’s My King,” by the late S.M. Lockridge.

The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews … He’s the King of Israel. He’s the King of Righteousness. He’s the King of the Ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of Glory. He’s the King of Kings, and He’s the Lord of Lords.

That’s my King! I wonder do you know Him?

My King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can define His limitless love. He’s enduringly strong. He’s entirely sincere. He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful. He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful.

Do you know Him?

He’s the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world, He’s God’s Son, He’s the sinners Savior, He’s the centerpiece of civilization, He’s unparalleled, He’s unprecedented. He’s the loftiest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology. He’s the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Savior.

I wonder if you know Him today?

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 lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharges debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. And he beautifies the meek.

I wonder if you know Him?

He’s the key to knowledge. He’s the wellspring 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 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 and His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you. Yes, He’s indescribable. 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 hand. You can’t outlive him and you can’t live without Him. Well, the Pharisees couldn’t stand Him. But they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him. Herod couldn’t kill him. Death couldn’t handle Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him. Yea! That’s my King.²

The critical issue about Jesus is do you know Him as your personal Savior? Have you received God’s forgiveness for all your sins by accepting Jesus as your Savior and is your name written in God’s Book of Life? You can accept God’s Invitation to know Jesus at: http://tinyurl.com/gods-invitation. For further help read “How to Be Sure You’re a Real Christian” at: http://www.actsweb.org/christian.

Suggested prayer: “Dear God, please help me to know Jesus as my personal Savior and be absolutely certain that my sins are forgiven, and that my name is written in God’s book of life. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus’ name, amen.”
