Sometimes when thinking about preaching the greatness of Christ I find myself resonating with Charles Wesley’s burden. He wrote the song petitioning for a thousand tongues to sing the praise of the great Redeemer. The point is that his one is not enough to heap praise upon the great Jesus.
In thinking about preaching I feel the same way. There are times when the articulation and announcement of Christ is so transcendent, so glorious, so beautiful that I just want to call in reinforcements. I want to be arrayed and equipped with some manner of amplification and clarity to bring the glorious truth to the ends of the earth. The beautiful glory of Christ is to shake the heavens! O, to have a thousand tongues to preach, to proclaim my great Redeemer’s praise!
