What Jesus Means To Me
What Jesus Means To Me
by Apostle Andre Pelser
Preached at Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
Sunday 3rd July 2011
On the 27th of November 2001 I preached myself awake. I preached about the wonderful Name of Jesus! This is what I wrote down when I got up at 4 am that morning. I preached this sermon on 3rd of July 2011, just as I wrote it down in 2001. Many people asked me for these notes. So here they are.
In my sorrow He’s my comfort
He opens doors that no one can shut
Whom He sets free is free indeed
When He feeds the crowd, there is enough left over
What He loosens cannot be bound
He is the beautiful rose of Sharon, not the thorn bush in the desert
He is the lily of the valley, not the weed in the marsh
He is the bright morning star, not the lost galaxy in space
When He speaks demons listen
When He moves angels stand to attention
What He announces shall come to pass
What He decides shall come about
The touch of heaven is in his hand
The rush of a mighty wind in his breath
His voice is like the sound of a great waterfall
His eyes burn like fire
His feet glisten like gold
Clouds are like the dust of his feet
What He uproots cannot be planted again
What He plants cannot be uprooted
When He brings peace the wares must cease
When He leads the battle no one can hide
When He is the counsellor there is no confusion
When He confuses the enemy, they cannot think straight
Whom He sanctifies is made holy
Whom He dignifies must be respected
Whom He vindicates will be cleared
Whom He justifies can never be accused again
Whom He glorifies will shine like the sun
He is the one who transforms a mind
He regulates the heartbeat of every human being
He is the breath of life, not the kiss of death
He is the altogether lovely One, not the ugly duckling
He is the way of escape not the dead end street
He is the truth not the lie
He is the life and has conquered death
Those who believe in Him will never die
He reigns on high over all powers below
He is reality and not a virtual reality show
He is the Redeemer and the Saviour of all men
He saves, He keeps, He satisfies
This wonderful friend of mine
Someday I’ll meet Him in the sky
This wonderful friend of mine
His faithfulness reaches the clouds
His mercy touches heaven
His grace surrounds us like the mountains
His favour is over us like the clear blue sky
Who can be compared with Him?
He is the friend of the friendless
The hope of the hopeless
The help of the helpless
The father of the fatherless
The husband of the widow
The provider of those who lack provision
