"That's My King!" Who's The Passover Lamb, The Substitute Ram, And The Great “I AM”, So We Can Become Children Of Abraham!

We've been passed over

The Lamb has been slaughtered

Blood has been poured out

Sin has been atoned for

The wrath of God has been quenched

Because Jesus was not passed over

We've been passed over

Judgment upon sin has been executed

The curse of God has fallen

Hell's flames toward us have been extinguished

The Lamb of God has taken away the sin of the world

Because Jesus was not passed over

We've been passed over

Just like God's people in Egypt were passed over

The lamb without blemish was slain

The blood of the lamb was put on the doorposts

Those in the house were saved, safe, and satisfied

While the first born child in every Egyptian house was destroyed

All the first born children of Israel were kept alive

The LORD and His destroyer passed over their homes

But Jesus was not passed over

We've been passed over

Even though we don't deserve to be passed over

Like undeserving Israel, we complain and murmur against God

We don't love Him as we ought

We don't trust Him as we ought

We don't delight in Him as we ought

We don't obey Him as we ought

We don't love our neighbors as ourselves as we ought

And we sin as we ought not

But oh don't you know – by the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ it's all been taken care of forever

Because Jesus was not passed over!

We've been passed over

God's curse has passed over us

God's wrath has passed over us

God's judgment has passed over us

God's hell has passed over us

God's eternal and infinite condemnation has passed over us forever

Because Jesus was not passed over!

We've been passed over

But Jesus was wickedly turned over

Judas betrayed Him over

Pilate unjustly condemned Him over

Peter denied Him over and over and over

The soldiers mocked, beat, and spit on Him all over

Our sins were counted as His all over

Even His Father forsook Him as He cried out to Him over and over

And wicked men and the devil thought it was all over

Because Jesus was not passed over, But let me tell you something – it is not over!

We've been passed over

But let me tell you that when Jesus died on that cross it was not all over

Oh tell yourself this over and over – that's it's not over – it's never over because of Jesus our Passover!

Whatever good you think is over in your life – dead and hopeless and lifeless and over – it's not over because of Jesus our Passover!

Because He came to turn over what's over and make all things new over; He gives you a do-over; And can do the ultimate make-over that will leave you praising Him all over and over!

For He has been raised up over all that seems over and rules over all with all authority over heaven and over earth!

Because Jesus was not passed over!

We've been passed over

Because Jesus rose up from the dead and rules as King over death!

He rules as King over sin!

He rules as King over the grave!

He rules as King over Satan!

He rules as King over the world!

He rules as King over our flesh!

He rules as King over all His and your enemies!

He rules as King over all as the Christ Who is all in all!

All because He was not passed over!

We've been passed over

So now we live to tell about Christ our Passover Who was not passed over!

The same Holy Spirit that raised Him from the dead to rule and reign over all is dwelling in you!

He grants you power over death!

He grants you power over sin!

He grants you power over the grave!

He grants you power over Satan!

He grants you power over the world and the flesh!

He grants you power over all of your enemies so that you are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves you!

Oh you've been passed over because our God so loved you that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life!

Oh, yes – we've been passed over!

Because Jesus, our Passover, was not passed over!

Christ Jesus Our Hope – The Passover Lamb

Though We Should Be Slaughtered By The Great I AM

Unleashed Over Us God’s Judgment Slam

But Christ Took It All – God’s Anger Damn

God’s Only Son – The Substitute Ram

Like Isaac, The Son Of Abraham

But God Did Slaughter His Son The Pure Lamb

Then Raised Him Alive – The God-Man I AM

So Now, God Our Souls Will Never Damn

By Faith Alone We’re Children Of Abraham

Passed Over And Saved All Because Of The Lamb!

"That's My King!" Who's Worthy Of Extravagant Devotion With Greatest Delight In Every Emotion For He Swallowed God's Curse And Fury Ocean Then Rose From The Dead To The Extreme Promotion!

We waste a lot

We waste time

We waste money

We waste God-given gifts

We waste opportunities

We even get wasted

We waste certain years of our lives

Some people even waste their whole life

But you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

The Scribes and Pharisees viciously wasted the very Messiah their Scriptures spoke about

Jesus' disciples wasted an opportunity to rejoice in the value of their Master

Judas Iscariot wasted the very Savior Who chose him to be a disciple for 30 pieces of silver

But they don't know that you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

We waste time worrying when God says be anxious for nothing

We waste time fearing when God says fear not

We waste time sinning when God says redeem the time for the days are evil

We waste time doubting when Jesus says only believe

We waste time desiring all manner of things in this world when Jesus is the Desire of all nations

Because you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

We waste money and aren't even as concerned about the poor as Jesus is

We waste money on lottery tickets

We waste money on illegal drugs and alcohol to get drunk

We waste money on pornography and prostitutes

We waste money on ourselves

But you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

We waste our purity on promiscuity 

We waste our energy on anger

We waste our desires on coveting and comparing ourselves with others

We waste our relationships on love for me, myself, and I

We waste our holiness on rebellion

But you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

But this woman who anointed Jesus didn't waste one drop

She gave the best to Jesus; Shall you give your best to Jesus?

She gave the most expensive to Jesus; Shall you give the most expensive to Jesus?

She gave it all to Jesus; Shall you give your all to Jesus?

She gave it only to Jesus; Shall you give your all to Jesus only?

Because Jesus is worthy of the best

Jesus is worthy of the most expensive

Jesus is worthy of our all in all for He is the all in all

And you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We waste a lot

But Jesus never wasted anything

He redeemed every part of every second of every time most effectively for the glory of His Father to save us from all of our wasted time

He maximized the use of money even though His money manager was a master deceiver and denier

He glorified God perfectly with His greatest gifts by giving them all up on that cross

He made the absolute maximum most of every opportunity to love the LORD His God will all of His heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love His neighbor as Himself so that we might be saved

He was totally left as waste and wounded for our transgressions and absorbed the wrath of God on that cross in our place so that we might be forgiven

He rose up from the dead to save us from all our waste and to turn all our wastefulness into wonderful redemption

So that now, because of the great love with which He loved us: where our waste abounds His grace abounds all the more

For this reason and many more, you can't waste anything on Jesus!

We may have wasted a lot in our lives

But Jesus' life was poured out like precious ointment on that cross so that we might live to never waste again

Now we live for Him, and you can't waste anything on Jesus

Basic Christianity is extravagant devotion to our King

You'll waste no time on Jesus!

You'll waste no money on Jesus!

You'll waste no love on Jesus!

You'll waste no desire on Jesus!

You'll waste no devotion on Jesus!

You'll waste no commitment on Jesus!

You'll waste no obedience on Jesus!

You'll waste no sacrifice on Jesus!

You'll waste no delight on Jesus!

You'll waste no worship on Jesus!

Spend it all! Spend it all! Spend it all! Oh Christian spend it all on Jesus Christ!

He alone can forgive!

He alone can heal!

He alone can save!

He alone can satisfy!

He alone can fulfill every hope and dream and longing you've ever had times 10 Trillion times 10 Trillion!

Come and taste and see that He is good!

Because you can't waste anything on Jesus!

"That's My King!" Who Is The Highest Class His Beauty None Can E'er Surpass His Every Word Shall Come To Pass And In Him Joys We'll Amass!

Talk is cheap

Our words are a vapor
We say we will do but then we don't do
But what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
We plan and speak our plans and then they don't go according to our plan
Our tongues are a fire and a world of unrighteousness
They are a restless evil, full of deadly poison and cannot be tamed
But Jesus can tame anything, anytime, anywhere all by Himself!
And what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
Politicians are promising
TV commercials are conniving toward covetousness
The media is maneuvering and manipulating
Prosperity preachers are pilfering and profiting
But they don't know
That Jesus knows every secret motive and intent of their hearts and will make every secret known someday!
He always tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help Him – well – He is God!
He is the Truth incarnate!
And what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
Our fathers let us down
Our mothers let us down

Our husbands let us down

Our wives let us down
Our sisters and brothers let us down
Our best friends let us down
Our pastors let us down
But oh don't you know
That there is one Man – the God-Man – Who will never let us down, put us down, hold us down, or keep us down!
He's the Everlasting Father!
He gathers us together as a mother hen gathers her baby chicks under her wings to be saved, safe, and satisfied forever!

He's the most loving, beautiful, caring, kind, compassionate, best, all satisfying Spouse you'll ever have by far!
He's our great Elder Brother Who always speaks the truth, always loves, always comforts – perfectly!
He's the best friend this world has ever known Who displayed the greatest love this world has ever seen when He laid down His life for His friends on that cross!
He's the Pastor of pastors Who fearlessly feeds His flock the finest of food so they might be saved from the fierceness of His Father's fury forever!
Because what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
Jehovah's witness are talking a false jesus
Mormons are talking a false bible
Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists are talking false religions
Atheists are talking no god at all
But the truest, most amazing, most beautiful, most glorious talk that has ever been talked from any talker who has ever tracked across any terrain was talked by Jesus – the Word made flesh Who talked the talk and walked the walk like no one in the history of this universe!
Because what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
But God made us to talk
And to talk expansively about the exhaustive expanse of His extravagant, excellent, efficacious, love!
We are to talk Jesus up! Not that He needs to be talked up, for He's already as up as up can be up and more than anyone is up – He is up!
But everyone just doesn't know that He is the upest of the up! So we must go and tell them and make disciples of all nations!
We must go and tell them that whatever they talk up is nothing compared to the King of UP!
We must tell them that He is the greatest and that He can take whatever is down in their lives and turn in right side up since He is the Up of ups!
His talk can turn the sexually immoral right side up!
His talk can turn the drunkards and drug addicts right side up!
His talk can turn the self-righteous church member right side up!
His talk can turn the most wrong side downest of the down person who has ever lived right side up to the up and up!
Because what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!

Talk is cheap
But let us talk about what is most expensive!
Let us talk about our LORD Jesus Christ Who is God the Son and Who is all in all!
Let us talk about the death of our Savior on that cross!
Let us talk about the resurrection of our Savior and His absolute conquering of sin, death, and hell!
Let us talk about His ruling and reigning right now over every square inch of this universe!
Let us talk about His return when He will make every wrong right and wipe away every tear from our eyes!
Let us talk about Him with passionate love in our hearts, faithful and diligent action in our wills, truth on fire in our minds – all for His glory, honor, and praise!
Because what Jesus says happens, and His Word stands forever!
