THERE ISN’T ANYBODY LIKE HIM
TEXT: Isaiah 40:21-22,25
INTRODUCTION: All through the Bible we read of everything that God has done for mankind. We read of the miracles that He performed time after time throughout history.
When we look at them we are compelled to say, along with those that witnessed them, “There isn’t anybody like him.” (Give brief account of the wonder of these Bible stories.)
1. Moses: Parting of the Red Sea. It has been suggested that where they crossed was only knee deep. Well it drowned Pharaoh’s army! He must have cried, “There isn’t anybody like Him!”
2. David: Goliath
3. Joshua: Jericho
4. Elijah: Mount Carmel
5. Shad. Mesh. Abed: Can’t scare us with heaven.
6. Daniel: Lions den. He was the first charter member of the Lion’s Club.
7. Jesus: Healing the blind man as he cried “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
8. Jesus: Raising the dead.
9. Jesus: The woman taken in adultery.
10: Jesus: The maniac of Gadera.
10. Paul: On the Damascus Rd.
They all must have cried, “There isn’t anybody like Him!”
And when we look at the things around us and what we go through, we too, should say, “There isn’t anybody like Him!”
I. THERE ISN’T ANYBODY LIKE HIM IN CREATION
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It is God who created the universe! It didn’t happen by chance. It didn’t happen with a “Big Bang.” It happened when God said, “Let there be.” And it was.
1. The earth is just the right distance from the sun. Not too close, not too far.
It travels at just the right speed. If it traveled too fast or too slow, we’d be in trouble.
Look at the stars! What an awesome sight. To think how big some are The star Antares could hold sixty-four million suns the size of ours. Now that’s big.
Let me ask you, “How big is your God?”
Psa 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Then look at the creation of man. Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Here we see God also created the parts for the first loud speaker system (The woman).
Look at the reproduction systems. If they evolved, they would have had to evolve at the same time and both would have to work the first time. Random chance! Yeah, right!
Psa 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
The complexities of the human body are incredible! There’s no way it just evolved by random chance!
I. THERE ISN’T ANYBODY LIKE HIM IN CREATION
II. THERE ISN’T ANYBODY LIKE HIM IN SALVATION
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Look at the word “salvation.” What does it mean? It means to rescue! Rescue from what? Hell! I’m here to tell you that whether you believe it or not, Hell is a very real place!
We looked at the God of creation and believe you me, if He can create the universe with His Word, He can give us His Word!
This is the Word of God and it says that there is a place called hell and that those that reject Jesus Christ as Savior will go there!
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
There is a hell and people need to be saved from it. And Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved from it. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
He was crucified, buried, and arose from the dead. Buddha wasn’t, Confucius wasn’t, Mohamed wasn’t. Only Jesus Christ was!
Salvation is through a person, not a denomination, not by good works, not by giving money, not by communion. You can be baptized, sanitized, and deodorized, but unless you are born again, you will go to hell!
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Notice once again that it doesn’t say “except a man be baptized, takes communion, gives money, belongs to the Baptist church, is a good person, does good works.
