Incomparable The Church Of Jesus Christ

INCOMPARABLE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST

Nothing compares to the gift God gave us through his son. Of all the things God has done for man this is by far the best of all gifts.

Matt.16: 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

(1) The greatest cost

Acts 20: 28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

The shame he went through for us

The pain he suffered for you and i

His own rejected him

Others mock him

His blood formed it

His life framed it

His father crowned it

(2) The antiquity the oldest

Eph.1: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

From the foundation

God has loved us

He has watched over us

We were chosen thousands of years ago

(3) Has the deepest foundation

1st Cor.3: 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ

The strongest

The unmovable

The longest lasting

A total sure foundation

No man can copy it

The devil can’t touch it

(4) The finest material

Jude 1: 20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Best faith God could give

Strongest faiths ever give to man

Prayer the strongest weapon known to man

A living spirit to follow

(5) Its extent the widest

Rev.5: 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Happy for ever more

Redeemed by the blood

Free to all men

Christ expanded his love to all nations

(6) Its position the loftiest

Eph.2: 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

We now sit in heavenly places

All God’s children

The dead live again through Christ

We now have the fulfillment of his love for us

(7) Its builder the wisest

Matt.16: 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Solid from the ground up

The rock of salvation

Block put on the gates of hell

Hell hath no way to get in the church is we hold on to Jesus

Christ is in charge
