The Superiority of God: Jude 24-25 (Part Three) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Jude draws our attention to a third reason why our Lord is superior. He is able to present us faultless before His glorious presence. What does this mean? We explain this in the message. The thought of standing in the presence of God in itself is profound. To me, His purity, power, and mighty presence will beckon bended knees and bowing from all of us. He is God Almighty. My thoughts are sober, serious, and full of reverence when I think of meeting Him face to face one day. Jude said that our Lord will enable us to stand “faultless” in His presence even though He knows all our failures, folly, fickleness, fake behavior, and filth. He presents the believer faultless before His presence. That would be the ONLY way we could ever be in His presence. What a day it will be when all Christians will be able to stand in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! * IN HIS PRESENCE 1. In His Presence, there is no Competition, because He is God, and God alone. There are no others. 2. In His Presence, there is no Consternation for those who trust in Him and find shelter under His wings. 3. In His Presence, there is no Confusion, because He does things decently and orderly. He is not the author of confusion and chaos. He brings peace and calm to those who follow His steps. 4. In His Presence, there are no Complications, because He is the source of all wisdom. He understands the secrets and mysteries of the universe because He is the source of its secrets. What may be confusing and complicated to the smartest of men, is simple to Him because our Lord is the epitome of wisdom, understanding, and clarity. 5. In His Presence, there is no Condemnation for those who have put their faith in Christ Jesus because they have been justified by their faith in Him and have peace with God. Thank God for all that He has done for us. No flesh will glory in His presence! This message was preached on Sunday night, October 25, 2020 at Lincoln Land Baptist Church in Springfield, Illinois.
