<TITLE>08. Par 32-36</TITLE>L-32 And thousands of testimonies could be said, but what is that now? To us, there's other sick people setting here tonight. There's many others, perhaps almost as bad as Mr. Hall was, laying dying. Time wouldn't give... If I could stand and testify until this time week after next, I'd never get through testimony after testimony of what our Lord Jesus has done.
He's wonderful. Why do we set, Christian friends? Why do we set and just so indifferent? Let's be sincere. Let's believe our Lord. Let's appreciate His death at Calvary. Let's appreciate those stripes on His back tonight.
Let's look at them. On that cold day, when Peter was warming by the enemey's fire and him rolling and twisting, and the Blood coming down His back, I can't deny that.
When those great lashes struck across His back, until His ribs showed through, how could I say...

L-33 I look going up Calvary; I see someone going down through Jerusalem. He has a--a garment on that's wove throughout without seam. I wonder why them little red specks was all over it? After while, they begin to get bigger. All those little specks finally run together. It's one big bloody garment. I hear it slapping around His legs.
What was it? It was the Lamb of God that was going to Calvary to be sacrificed. He had to die, for only out of death comes life. Did you hear that? Only out of death... "Less a corn of wheat falls into the ground, it abides alone." If it dies, it produces life.

L-34 Jesus had to die to produce Eternal Life. And now, listen closely, Christian friends. Unless you die to yourself and your feelings, and act on God's Word, you'll never have Life. Forget your feelings; just take what God said. And plant that seed into that life of your own death, or your own death, and Life will be produced out of there and you shall live.
 Look and live, my brother, live.
 Look to Jesus now and live.
 For it's recorded in His Word, Hallelujah.
 It's only that you look and live.

L-35 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... and we bow our heads. Father, receive us tonight in the bonds of Calvary with Thy Son. As we renounce our own lives and all that we are, we renounce it to be nothing. We could not even breathe without You beating our hearts, pumping our lungs. We would be nothing.
We could not have come to this world without You. And, Father, we're confessing that we have mistreated You. When we see what You have done for us, our hearts are--we're ashamed of our lives, we're ashamed of ourselves and our small faith. Forgive us now.
And may the Angel of God, Who came that morning and said about Brother Hall, Who's done all these things down through this life that I have lived... I pray that You'll send Him tonight to this platform.

L-36 And may everyone that comes, or either, in the building anywhere, may they be healed tonight by His power. May their faith just turn loose and look there and believe, and say, "What more could God do to make us believe?" And may all the sinners be saved. May the backsliders come back to God.
Hear the prayer of Your servant, Father. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.
I'm sorry to take so much time. I was noticing too, that my good brother, Brother Sharritt, I failed to see his mother setting there. Sister Sharritt, we're glad to have you. And I believe little Ruthie's somewhere. I haven't spotted her yet. But I certainly am glad to see you all in.
