<TITLE>05. Par 21-25</TITLE>L-21 That's--that's the Voice that I long to hear. If He will only let me move into His Kingdom, and then go up close enough that I can lay my hands on His sacred feet, or something like that, that'll be all right. If I can just see Him...
Here sometime ago I was speaking at the Business Men's meeting. I believe it was right here in Chicago. And an old darkie down south by... He got saved one night. And he was out the next morning saying, "I'm free; I'm free," telling all the other slaves.
And the slaves said, "Why..." wanted to know what happened.
He said, "The Lord Jesus made me free."
And the owner of the slaves come by and said, "All right, Sambo, at your work."
He said, "Yes, master, I--I didn't mean to take any of the time."
Said, "I hear that you said you was free."
He said, "Yes, sir, master." He said, "The Lord Jesus set me free last night from the--the slave of (I mean,) the burdens of sin."
And--and he said, "Well, I want you to come by my office after while." And after a bit he came by the office. He said, "I want you to say that again. Did you tell me at that meeting last night that Jesus Christ made you free, that you was no longer a slave to sin?"

L-22 He said, "Yes, yes, boss, He did. He made me free from sin and death last night."
He said, "Then, Sambo, if Jesus Christ made you free from sin and death last night, this day I set you free from slavery (That's right.) so you can preach to your brethren."
The old man preached for many, many years. When he got ready to die as an old man, he was called in all... a lot of his white brethren come in to see him. And the old fellow had went off in a coma. And they thought that he was dead. And after while he looked around; he seen them all standing there; he greeted them all again.
And he said, "Oh, I just got inside." Said, "Why did I come back?" And said--said, "I was standing inside the door." And said, "I was standing, looking, and an Angel come up to me and said, 'Sambo, are you ready now to receive your crown and your reward?'"
He said, "Crown? Reward? Don't talk to me about crown and reward. I don't need them. Just let me stand and look at Him for a thousand years; that's my crown and reward."

L-23 That's the way I think we all feel this afternoon. I don't care about rewards. I don't care if I have a shack or what I have. Just let me see Him Who is the unseen One here today, and all the rest of life will... Everything else seems so little when I think that someday I can see Him.

L-24 In the church we used to sing an old song:
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
That's our feeling this afternoon. That's my motive of being here in Chicago this afternoon, and in this meeting, is to try to get my brethren out here... after knowing His Presence being here, is to try to get them to believe Him.

L-25 Now, I wished I was a forceful speaker, like maybe, Brother Jaggers, or Brother Roberts, or Billy Graham, or some of those men, where they go preach their sermon and go home and that's over. I can't; I'm not a speaker. I... The only thing that I can do... God has give me something else to win His children to Him by, and that's praying for them.
