ONLY GOD IS GREAT
Think for a moment! Louis the XIV — the king who said, “I am the State;” Louis XIV — the king who built Versailles: Louis XIV — who was called “The Sun King” because of his glittering, lavish reign. Who was a more powerful king than Louis XIV? Thousands of people had come to his funeral service, filling the Cathedral and spilling out into the square beyond. When the Bishop of Paris mounted the pulpit to preach the eulogy for the Great “Sun King,” he spoke just four words: “Only God is great!” Then he left the pulpit to continue the service. This is exactly what Jesus is trying to tell us. “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . .” Blessed are those who live in unconditional, absolute dependence on the greatness of God. For only God is great! Sunday Sermons, Nov/Dec 1987
