The King Eternal (Part 1) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Timothy 1:17- Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. When we look at Paul in this seventeenth verse, he ignites out of the clear blue like gasoline in a barrel, sending upward his applause, admiration, acclamations, and adoration for the King of kings. In a spirit of worship, the fire within his heart blazed and flared forth as he pondered what God’s grace and mercy had done for him. * Because of grace and mercy, he was cleansed and forgiven for the sins of his past. * Because of grace and mercy, he was looked upon as a child of God instead of a tyrant and wicked heathen. * Because of grace and mercy, he was loved by God instead of hated and pushed away. * Because of grace and mercy, he would not perish in Hell but enjoy eternal life in Heaven. * Because of grace and mercy, you enjoy all of these blessings too, if you have trusted Jesus as your personal Savior. Such news should make the vilest of sinners erupt like a volcano, into a song of victory and many have done so. In this verse, Paul tells us some important traits about the King Eternal. That is who we will focus on in this message. We will gaze at Jesus our king. As we look at His portraits painted in the Scriptures, we are left in awe and wonder, like a person viewing Chicago from a jet, or seeing the vastness of the Grand Canyon, or beholding the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, or like a tourist traveling on a ship and for the first time gazing at the ocean. In part one of this message, we will focus on our King who is infinite and immortal. This message was preached on Sunday morning, December 4, 2022, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
