Christ's Sovereignty
Christ's Sovereignty3
We See God's Purpose
By A.W. Tozer0EPH 1:9A.W. Tozer emphasizes that all things in the universe derive their purpose and meaning from Christ, the eternal Son. He illustrates how God, like an architect, gathers materials to fulfill His divine design, ultimately uniting everything under Christ's headship. Tozer encourages believers to recognize that Jesus is not only the creator but also the redeemer and the one who harmonizes all things according to God's will. As Christians grow in faith, they should develop a deeper appreciation for God's eternal purpose. The sermon calls for a recognition of Christ's central role in the universe and in our lives.
The Mighty Conqueror
By Robert Murray M'Cheyne0ISA 10:5MAT 28:18MRK 5:35JHN 1:1ACT 9:4EPH 1:22COL 2:15HEB 1:6REV 1:5REV 19:17Robert Murray M'Cheyne emphasizes the ultimate authority of Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords, highlighting the final conflict between Christ and the world regarding His kingly office. He discusses the three crowns Christ wears: His mediatorial crown over all creation, His crown over the visible Church, and His crown over the redeemed. M'Cheyne reassures believers of Christ's sovereignty and power, which brings comfort, while warning the unrepentant of the consequences of opposing Him. He calls for a defense of Christ's kingly authority, especially in the face of modern challenges to His rule. The sermon serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing Christ's dominion in all aspects of life.
Christ Made the World
By A.W. Tozer0GEN 1:1PSA 24:1ISA 9:6MAT 1:23LUK 1:30JHN 1:3JHN 1:14ROM 11:36COL 1:16HEB 1:2A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the world we inhabit is fundamentally Christ's creation, asserting that every part of the earth belongs to Him as He is the one who made it all. He highlights the intimate connection between Christ and creation, noting that even the atoms of Mary and the straw in the manger were made by Him. Tozer also clarifies the role of Mary, stating that while she was the mother of Jesus, she should not be referred to as the 'mother of God' as it misrepresents her role in God's redemptive plan. The sermon calls for a proper understanding of Christ's sovereignty over the world and the honor due to Mary. Ultimately, it invites believers to recognize and celebrate the divine authority of Christ in all aspects of life.
