Christ Is Above All — Tim Conway

The Coming Judgment and Supreme Love

I read in my Bible this. There is a judgment day coming. You agree with me? There's a judgment day coming. Jesus is going to call all the nations before him. Egypt, America, all of them. And he's going to call you.

Loving Christ Above Family and Money

God wants you to live a life where you are madly in love with Jesus Christ. Where Christ excites you. You fear him. You love him. You find him beautiful. You love him more than your family. And more than money.

You love him above everything. And because of that love that spills over. With joy you seek to serve him. Isn't that the kind of life God wants from you? Isn't it? A life of sacrifice? A life of love?

Truth Reveals the Supremacy of Christ

What does it take to unleash this kind of life? In the hearts of Egyptians. In our day. It's truth, just like we find here in Hebrews chapter 1. How is a handful of Egyptians going to turn the world upside down today?

Christ Crucified Inspires Sacrificial Service

Exactly the same way. By having such views of Christ that stir your soul to the depths. Isn't that it? When I think of Christ crucified for me. He spilled his blood for me. That's enough to excite you to go visit someone in prison, isn't it?

Or to travel from Texas to Egypt to preach about him. That's what the Bible's got to do to us. It's got to move us. I want Christ to be real to me. I want to love him more than anything else. I want to be amazed by Christ.

Following Christ as Joy Rather Than Duty

I want to love him more than anything else. So that following him is not a duty. It's a joy. Don't you want that? We've got Christ. The true God. He says God speaks to us by Christ. And Christ is the heir of all things.

Christ Above Creation and Every Earthly Good

And Christ created the universe. And Christ is the radiance of the glory of God. The exact imprint of his nature. Christ is better than everything. Christ is better than comfort. Christ is better than marriage.

Christ is better than a beautiful wife. Or a caring husband. Christ is better than money. Christ is everything. We have to think on Christ. We have to meditate on Christ. We have to come to know Christ.

Meditating on Christ Until the Heart Is Moved

When is the last time you meditated on Christ? And were brought to tears. When's the last time you meditated on Jesus Christ being the radiance of the glory of God? When's the last time you meditated on Jesus Christ being the radiance of the glory of God?

When you couldn't contain yourself anymore. And you wept. You shouted for joy. How will you be willing to lay down your lives? It's when your heart and your mind pulsate with Christ. With a love for Christ.

An appreciation for what he's done for you. He is all. He loved us and gave himself up for us.
