In his sermon titled "Coming to The King," Luke Coffey primarily addresses the theological doctrine of revelation, focusing on how God makes Himself known to humanity through Christ, as illustrated by the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. Coffey emphasizes that the Queen's journey was prompted by an extraordinary hearing about Solomon’s wisdom, particularly concerning the name of the Lord, which symbolizes a deeper spiritual quest for truth. He supports his arguments through several Scripture references, including Matthew 12:42, which speaks of the Queen acknowledging a greater than Solomon, and John 1:1-3 that expounds on the preeminence of Christ. The practical significance of this message underscores that true seeking must lead individuals to Christ, where they can receive wisdom and answers to hard questions about life, faith, and salvation. Coffey asserts that this journey to the King is essential for all sinners, as it is only in Christ where real understanding and salvation can be found.
“A sinner does not come to the Lord unless they hear something.”
“We must go to the Lord Jesus Christ. He must tell us. He must show us. That's the only way we'll know.”
“Christ is the wisdom of God. Christ is the truth. If a man would know God and the mysteries of redemption and life, let him ask of Christ great and hard questions.”
“Once we see the glory, the power, and the wisdom of God, we abhor ourselves.”
The Bible teaches that sinners come to Christ only when they hear of Him, as seen in the story of the queen of Sheba seeking wisdom from Solomon.
Romans 10:14, 1 Kings 10:1-9
Christ is likened to Solomon, who answered all of the queen of Sheba's hard questions, illustrating that Christ can provide answers to our deepest inquiries.
Colossians 2:3, 1 Kings 10:1-3
Knowing Christ is essential for salvation because He is the source of all truth, wisdom, and redemptive grace.
John 14:6, 1 Kings 10:6-7
