<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 Now, while I read these...?... if you will. Over in 15th chapter of Saint Luke, I wish to read these verses of Scripture, beginning with the 11th verse of the 15 chapter of Saint Luke.
And He said, A certain man had two sons: the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided--divided unto them his living.
And not many days after the younger... gathered all  together, and took his journey to a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... servants of my father's have bread enough... to spare, and I perish with hunger!
I will arise and go to my father, [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no... worthy to be called thy son.
But the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him... put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
... this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they begin to make merry.
May the Lord add His blessings to the Word.

L-8 As a minister, as a speaker I--I am not. My part, this lot here on earth is to pray for you sick people, which I greatly love to do. And I'm not... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
The only thing that I can say tonight...?... And you pray for me, all of you minister brothers, while I speak on this subject...?... for this meeting.
The one thing... And notice...?... Jesus speaking this parable, He was trying to express the feeling of the Father to the lost, to those who were alienated from God, gone out. Remember, one time we were all sinners, cut off from God, without mercy, without any hope, walking about in the world, darkness, lost forever; Jesus taken our place as a sinner and died in our stead. And the Father sees...?... marvelous Gospel.
I've often wondered what it was like to meet Jesus, what could I ever expect...?... Where--where would I be?...?... What would be my place?

L-9 [Tape is inaudible--Ed.]...?... to me not long ago...?... [Tape is inaudible--Ed.] to the doctor...?... [Tape is inaudible--Ed.]...?... all of my sins...?... and I--the faith that I do not claim to be...?... Many times, the Christians here, we try to...?... with God. You say, "Well, this isn't very bad; but the least sin should be confessed, always, no matter what, how little it looks to you, it's sin in the sight of God.
Look how little the first sin was. For the Lord had give to the human race... When the first sin was committed was...?... When the message came to heaven, and that, "Your son, has fallen..." Well, it looked like Adam ought to be running around through the garden, hollering, "Oh, Father, oh, Father, where are You?"
But Adam went and hid himself. And it was just like the first meeting, the Father's calling, "Son, son, where art thou?" See how man would try to justify themself. He'll try to stand behind someone. Instead of coming right out and saying what he is and confessing his sins before God, he'll try to hide behind a stump.
