<TITLE>10. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 Now, that'll go on through December, January, February, March, April, May. Now, May comes along, last of April first of May. The seed gone; the pulp's gone; the petal's gone; the stalk's gone; everything there was of that flower is gone, that can be seen.
Is it gone? No. God has a provided way. There's a little germ of life laying there somewhere. Just as sure as that sun rises yonder in the east and begins to shine warm upon the ground, it lives again. Why? God provided a way for it to live again. If God made a way for a flower to live again, what about a man that's made in His image? How God has made a way for us to live again.

L-38 But Job speaking, seeing that man was cut off from God because of his sin, his transgressions... And Elihu begin to explain it to him, how that his--his transgression had took him away from God. Then Job begin to think of it. I can imagine, seeing him stand, and after while Elihu said, "But there's coming One, a Just One, a One that'll stand in the breach, put His hand on a sinful man and a holy God; and then the man will rise again out of the ground just like the flower rises out of the ground." Said, "Now, you watch the flower come up in the spring of the year, but you say man layeth down, he giveth up the ghost, where is he? Because he got out of God's provided way."

L-39 But there's coming One Who's going to put him back in the way. Hallelujah. Oh, when I think of that, my inner most being screams out, "What can I do to get this to man?"
"Yeah, there's coming One Who will place him back in the way where the One will stand and put his hand on the--this gap of sin here, and He will go in and take sin upon Himself and bridge the way back that man can come out of the ground again."
Job begin to see it, being a prophet; he begin to listen to this little prophet Elihu. And the first thing you know, Job raised up, God put His binoculars down over his eyes; he looked a way down four thousand years, he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He will stand on the earth: though the skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, mine eyes shall behold, and not another."
Yes, he saw the resurrection of Christ. He said, "My eyes shall behold, and not another." He seen Jesus. He knowed he was in God's provided way; he had life in him, he said, "I know I will raise at that day, because I'm believing in Him."
At the last day Jesus was to stand and to bridge that way for man. How God has always made a way of escape for those who believe.

L-40 I think of Moses, the children of Israel down there in Egypt, when they were way down in Egypt, hitting, beaten by those Egyptian taskmasters. God made a way of escape. He sent a fellow down by the name of Moses. And before Moses could bring them out, they had sinned and got away from God. And the only way Moses could do, was to obey God. And God sent him down there and told him to take a lamb and to make a sacrifice and to place the blood upon the lintel of the door, upon the door post.
