JESUS CHRIST, THE ROCK OF AGES
I COR. 10:4
Palestine was very rocky and in some places mountainous.
The prophets found in such an emblem of God; as our refuge. PSALM 18:2..states THE LORD IS MY ROCK, AND MY FORTRESS, AND MY.......
In Isaiah 26:4, we read, TRUST IN THE LORD FOREVER, FOR IN THE LORD JEHOVAH IS EVER- LASTING STRENGTH.
The margin states that everlasting strength in the Hebrew is ROCK OF AGES.
In this sermon we will discuss the rock-like qualities of Christ.
I. CHRIST IS THE ROCK OF STABILITY.
It seems that nothing is sure, durable and stable anymore– Only the Christian has a foundation that is unshakable– PSALM 62:2 says, HE ONLY IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION; HE IS MY DEFENCE; I SHALL NOT BE GREATLY MOVED.
Men change; customs change, but He never changes. HEB. 13:8. JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOR EVER.
We shall not be moved because HE IS OUR ROCK, and this rock cannot be shaken or broken.
MATT. 7:25.. Speaks of a house BUILT UPON THE ROCK....
I COR. 15:58.. THEREFORE....BE YE STEDFAST, UNMOVABLE....
II. HE IS OUR ROCK OF STRENGTH.
Psalm 62:7 declares, IN GOD IS MY SALVATION AND MY GLORY; THE ROCK OF MY STRENGTH AND SONG........
The Lord is a strong rock to those who trust Him– we find courage in His strength. PSALM 118:14 THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG— my strength to FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF F AITH. I TIM. 6:12–My song to sing while I fight– when we are weak we can rely on His strength.
Paul said, I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STENGTHEN ME. PHIL. 4:13— He said again.. BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. EPH. 6:10
PSALM 31:2.. BE THOU MY STRONG ROCK, FOR AN HOUSE OF DEFENCE TO SAVE ME.
III. HE IS THE ROCK OF SAFETY.
David said in, Psalm 61:2-3...WHEN MY HEART IS OVER WHELMED; LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I. FOR THOU HAST BEEN A SHELTER FOR ME,
PSALM 94:22...says...MY GOD IS THE ROCK OF MY REFUGE.
Many a storm-tossed, weather beaten child of God has found refuge and shelter in this eternal rock of ages.
Christ is our rock of safety. OUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD. COL. 3:3.
He is the only place of safety..John 10:9.
IV. HE IS THE ROCK OF OUR STANDING.
PSALM 40:2.. States HE BROUGHT ME UP ALSO OUT OF AN HORRIBLE PIT, OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY, AND SET MY FEET UPON A SOLID ROCK, AND.......
He brought us out AND WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD. REV. 1:5
ISAIAH 1:18..THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW.
There is only one sure place of safe and secure standing. CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK.
V. HE IS THE ROCK OF SUPPLY
Christ is our spiritual water supply. PSALM 78:20.. HE SMOTE THE ROCK AND WATER GUSHED OUT. There is satisfying, spiritual water in our rock, Christ Jesus.
He pours out the Spirit in unmeasurable blessings upon us.
There is sweet and sustaining honey in that rock—DEUT. 32:13..OIL OUT OF A FLINTY ROCK. This is a figure of refreshment, make to shine–Oil is a symbol or type of the Holy Ghost.
In the rock is water for thirsty soul, oil to make our faces to shine, honey to sweeten our lives.
VI. HE IS THE ROCK OF SATISFACTION.
ISA. 32:2..AND A MAN SHALL BE A HIDING PLACE FROM THE WIND, AND COVER FROM THE TEMPTEST; AS RIVERS OF WATERS IN A DRY PLACE, AS THE SHADOW OF A GREAT ROCK IN A WEARY LAND.
Jesus said, THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM, SHALL BE IN HIM A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP. JOHN 4:14.
Water from this smitten rock brings complete satisfaction.
PSA. 37:19.. IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED.
VII. HE IS A ROCK OF SINGING.
ISA. 42:11..LET THE INHABITANTS OF THE ROCK SING.
EXO. 15:2.. THE LORD IS ...MY...SONG.
ISA. 65:14.. BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL SING FOR JOY OF HEART.
EPH. 5:18-19.. BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT------ SINGING AND MAKING MELODY IN OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD.
IS YOUR HOME BUILT ON THE ROCK
