<TITLE>09. Par 92-100</TITLE>L-92 Now, let's just take a little drama right here and stop for a moment and watch. I can see, it's all night long, poor little old Mary, the mother, her heart was broke. The prophetess Anna told her she would be pierced, to reveal the thoughts of many. How that His body was afflicted, and her own darling Babe hanging on the cross, and what a disgrace He had brought to the church. But yet, in her heart that mother's love reached out; there was... No matter what He had done, how much disgrace... He died, capital punishment, like a--a convict today that would go out there to be hung, or electrocuted, or something. That's the way He died, in shame and disgrace. See how God punished sin? And then how she had wept, probably all night, and her and...

L-93 Mary Magdalene, she'd knew His power. She knew there was something about Him was different from anyone else. She had seven devils cast out of her.
Everybody that's ever been free from the devil by the power of Jesus Christ, knows where they're standing. No one can ever come in His great Divine Presence, and ever be the same person any more. You're--you're changed. There's something happens to you. Oh, you can stand off, and psychology, and imagine this, and accept this, a certain thing, and some theories, or something like that. But we don't believe in theology. We believe in the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And when you come into His Presence, there's something that happens in your life, that changes you. And you're never the same any more, a man that's ever been in the Presence of Christ.
So she had seven devils cast out of her: pride and envy, and she thought she was so pretty and there was no one like her. But when Jesus spoke and said, "Be thou clean," all that left her. She become a new person. She wasn't so pretty any more in her own sight. But she wrapped herself in the robe of meekness and gentleness, and followed the Master. She loved Him. Then on Easter morning I can see her.

L-95 His disciples were out, pulling the fish boats, some of them, Some of them going home, and some going different ways, but back to their tasks.

L-97 And then real early, I can see Mary the mother, and Mary Magdalene, starting up the hillside, to go up to the grave. They had some spices and things. They wanted to anoint His body and put Him away.

L-98 And so, as they go up the hill, I can imagine seeing another scene. Let's look over here.
I can see a bunch of soldiers standing there. They'd been playing cards all night, or--or shooting dice, or playing with their dice, the--the--the dice on the ground. And they'd been carrying on. Some of them say, "Say, do you remember that deceiver? He said in three days he was going to raise up. So now let's just see. Let's go up to the grave."

L-100 And I can see them walk up there, and pat theirself on their chest, and throw out their big armor like that, and the Roman sword; say, "We will see what He can do." Because the tomb was sealed, a Roman seal; woe unto him that breaks that seal. A stone laid there, that taken a century of men; that's a hundred men rolled it up there, a great big stone they'd rolled up again the tomb. Say, "He's in there, plenty safe." And they were having a great time. But coming along, it was almost breaking day now, as Mary... they're coming up along the hill. And they're two little women, early out, maybe with their arms around one another, going along. Oh, oh, I can just almost see it, how they were going along the side of the hill. And I can hear Mary, the mother, say to Mary Magdalene, "Say, who will take away the stone from the grave? What will? How we're going to do that?"
Well, I can hear Mary say back, "God will take care of that."
That's the main thing. No matter... People say, "How am I going to do this or do that?" God will take care of it. You just go on. See? God will take care of all the rest.
