Book Review – The Incomparable Christ

The Incomparable Christ

Every once in a while I find a valuable gem of a book written decades ago that few people know or talk about. Christ Incomparable was the original title of this easy read of a book. This book is a gem, it is entitled The Incomparable Christ written by J. Oswald Sanders. Originally written in 1952 this book was enlarged and revised in 1971.

J. Oswald Sanders (1917-1992) was a Christian leader for nearly seventy years and authored more than forty books on the Christian life. Including The Incomparable Christ, Spiritual Discipleship, Spiritual Leadership, and Spiritual Maturity. He left a promising law practice in his native New Zealand. He left to serve as an instructor and administrator at the Bible College of New Zealand. Dr. Sanders later became general director of the China Inland Mission and now the Overseas Missionary Fellowship. And was instrumental in beginning many new missions projects throughout East Asia.

A Few Things I Appreciate About This book:

  • The way that Sanders takes a normally overlooked detail of Jesus in Scripture and expands it. He provides a deeper and more significant fresh look at Jesus Christ. Things like the 12-year old Christ staying at the temple and his life as a carpenter.
  • The poems at the end of the short chapters add a beautiful emphasis on each chapter.
  • The Chapter about the baptism of Jesus Christ. In this chapter Sanders noticed the change in John the Baptist who completely changed his tune when Jesus came. John who had been calling for repentance and who had rebuked the Pharisees and turned them away. Was now suddenly stuck by the sense of his own unfitness to baptize Jesus

I highly recommend this book, pick up a copy today

Three Great Jesus Quotes

Three Great Quotes About Jesus Christ

“Whatever may be the surprises of the future, Jesus will never be surpassed” – Ernest Renan

“I know men, and I tell you, Jesus was not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires and the gods of other religions. This resemblance does not exist…Jesus Christ alone founded His empire upon love, and at this hour millions would die for Him. In every other existence but that of Christ, how many imperfections.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

“Christianity is the greatest proof of Christ’s deity, because He as its head measures up the highest standard of deity.” – J. Oswald Sanders

Not Called to Make the World a Better Place

Pop-Music Philosophy

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” – Michael Jackson

I hear many Christians today saying “we want to make the world a better place.” Of course this is noble and is an effort to be admired but I think this sentiment is ill advised. The reason I say this is not because I don’t think that the world needs to be better. It is not because I don’t wish it were better. Frankly I think the world is an absolute mess.

The reason I think this world-view is ill advised is because it is not in step with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus does not want to make the world a better place. Jesus is actually displacing the world with himself and his new humanity.

The idea that the world will be made better by us being kinder or more generous doesn’t reflect reality.

This World-System Has No Future

Imagine its 1943 in Nazi Germany and the Germans started saying “let’s make Nazi Germany a better place.” At the peak of the war crimes, the killings, the concentration camps. That is the equivalent of us saying it today in comparison to what is coming in Jesus Christ. Surrender to the coming regime of Jesus Christ is the only option. But not a physical military surrender an inner spiritual surrender. Until that happens, if billions are in rebellion to the real Lord of the earth, this world should not be “made better.”

It’s not reform we are pushing for in the world it’s a conquering nonviolent displacement of Satan.

The world will not be better until Jesus Christ (and not Satan) is absolute Lord. This world as we know it has absolutely no future. I want to make Jesus Lord of heaven AND EARTH. Because this world is still being run by satanic systems and forces.

Our governmental, religious, economic, entertainment, and educational systems are still dominated and controlled by satanic forces. Some of them reluctantly tolerate Christian influence begrudgingly and only if we are kept at the bottom of their hierarchies.

Make the World…Surrendered to Him

Maga

Editing our philosophy to live by.

The only thing that I want to see the world become is subject and surrendered to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything less than that is just pop music.
