Summary: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Our God is a God that is full of secrets and surprises.
The revelation of himself has been progressive and gradual down through the centuries of time.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
He has gradually revealed himself to His people a little bit of a time.
I don’t know about you but the more I find out about Him the more I realize remains to be discovered.
Even some great men of God, is still constantly learning more and more about Him every day
Paul said in Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
This doesn’t mean you can’t learn about Him, but it does mean that you’ll never STOP learning about Him.
Even some of the greatest men that preach this Gospel, don’t know all there is to know about Him.
There are some stars in the universe that are many times larger than the sun that is many times larger than the planet earth.
Yet it’s so far out in space that it appears as a tiny point of light.
You can’t judge any point of light and judge from that little speck its awesome size and power and its tremendous amount of power it’s releasing.
A child my look up into the nights sky, squint their eyes, this is how that child might interpret what they are looking at. They may begin to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” Yet if you took that same child anywhere near where that star is where they could see just how big that star really is, they would no longer sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” But they would realize it’s not a tiny point of light, but something that is so awesome and so great that it is indescribable.
Just like that star, we serve an:
1. Awesome God
2. Mighty God
3. Great God
4. Indescribable God
He is bigger than anything that we can imagine. We don’t serve a pint-sized God, my God fills the universe.
We have only begun to scratch the surface of His tremendous power and strength.
And when we think we have figured Him out, He is capable of working in way we have never seen before.
In Isaiah 43:19, God said:
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
This tells me that God is not limited to only what He has done before and what He has done in the past. If He wants to, He can do something that He’s never done before.
He can perform a work, He has never performed before.
He is not restricted to what we know what He has done before.
The Bible says in Psalms 150:3 to praise him according to his mighty acts but He has some acts that He hasn’t performed yet.
Consider with me for a little bit what He has done in the past.
Think about His creative works; the sun, moon, stars, solar system and galaxies that we have already mentioned.
The Bible says that he spread these creations out like a curtain.
