THE UNCONQURABLE CHRIST!

THE UNCONQUERABLE CHRIST H.L. HASTINGS Woe to a world that vainly tries to escape from Jesus Christ. They may deny His deity, dispute His power, disbelieve His resurrection, explain away His existence, deride Him as a phantom, insult Him as a spirit medium, philosophize over Him as a myth, accept Him as a mere human teacher, misquote His words to sustain their opinions, pervert His teachings, and despise His precious blood; BUT when all this is done, their difficulty is not removed, for CHRIST the KING still lives at God’s right hand, “JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER”; the Christ who was, who is, and who is to come; He who had the glory with His Father before the world was, shame with man during His earthly pilgrimage; and who having suffered these things, has entered “into His glory”—that same Jesus still lives in all the majesty of His divine character, and in all the powers of an everlasting life. Herod could not kill Him, satan could not seduce Him, death could not destroy Him, the Sepulchre could not hold Him; yet He stands upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints and feared by devils, as a living personal Christ; rejected, crucified, exalted, glorified, and coming again in like manner as He ascended; to raise the dead, to judge the world, to save His people, to be glorified in His saints, to crush the usurper—to destroy His foes, and to reign forever as the LORD OF ALL.
