The Superiority of God: Jude 24-25 Part One by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

As we come to the curtain verses of this epistle, our attention is directed to the Captain of our Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jude directs our focus and reminds us all of the superiority of God. This half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ shed a brilliant, beaming, burnishing light on our Lord’s power, His promise of our preservation, our presentation of perfection in Heaven, and the praise He rightly deserves. You can almost hear the orchestra of Heaven playing a song of praise, accompanied by a massive angelic choir, lifting up their voices with joy and reverence as they shout, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:11). This message focuses on God’s abilities. His abilities are not limited, locked, lost, lessened, or languished. His power is not puny, paltry, pathetic, or pitiful. His capacity and competence are never drained, depleted, dissipated, disabled, deflated, or debilitated. He is able to do as He wishes, as He wants, as He wills. God is ABLE. That truth in itself provides hope, confidence, peace, and trust in the Lord.
