"That's My King!" Who's The Irresistible Lion Tamer And The Universe's Reclaimer!

He's the Seed of the woman Who came to crush the head of the serpent!
His servant Job took the worst tragedies Satan could throw at him and still bowed down and worshiped God!
He's the greater Sampson Who can not only tear lions apart with His bare hands, but He more than conquers them and takes everything they mean for evil and means it for good!
He was there when all the mouths of the lions were shut tight for Daniel in the lion's den, and He's still shutting the mouths of lions today!
He the Binder of the unbindable and the Subduer of the unsubduable!
When He began His ministry on earth, He boldly displayed His eternal worth!
By succeeding where the first Adam failed, over Satan's temptations He prevailed!
By dying on the cross where He was nailed, He rose from the grave that Satan might be jailed!
And He's the King of heaven to be forever hailed!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

He's the tamer of the untamable!
He can tame all the storms outside in mother nature!
And He can tame all the storms inside your heart!
He can tame everything untamable in your life and in this universe by merely speaking a Word!
One little Word of His grace can tame your drug and alcohol abuse!
One little Word of His mercy can tame your sexual misuse!
One little Word of His power can tame your laziness excuse!
One little Word of His Gospel can tame your lovelessness and from all your pride be loosed!
He tamed our greatest enemies – sin, death, Satan, and Hell – by allowing Himself to be devoured by them on that cross so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life as well so that we might go and tell and save other souls from eternal Hell!

That's my King!

He became naked on that cross so that we might be forever clothed and in our right minds!
He was left all alone and isolated on that cross so that we might enjoy eternal, ecstatic fellowship with all kinds!
He was cut up with stripes, thorns, nails, and a spear so that we might be forever healed!
He was tempted by legions of demons and conquered them all so that we might in everlasting peace be sealed!
He was accused of being a fad, bad, and mad but died and rose so that we could have God as our everlasting Dad!
He cried out into the tombs from that cross:  "My God! My God! Why have You forsaken Me?!" so that we could be forgiven, accepted, adopted, and never forgotten!
He rose up from the grave to give life to all who turn and trust in Him!

That's my King!  Have you put your trust in Him today?!

Through His life, death, and resurrection He's reconciling everything in the universe to Himself!
One day He'll make all things new including you if your faith is true!
If you see that you're like the naked, mad man who cut himself and cried,
And hate your sin, turn from it, and go to God to hide though you might be tried,
Then you'll run to Jesus and beg Him to let you forever abide right by His side!
Because He's irresistible!
He's alluring!
He's magnetic!
He's ravishing!
He's inescapable!
He's compelling!
He's all satisfying!
And if you've truly met Him, trusted Him, and been changed by Him, then you can't help but desire to be with Him and tell the world what great things He's done for You!

That's my King!  That's my King!
