<TITLE>11. Par 93-99</TITLE>L-93 Now, Paul said, when the worshipper come and bring the little... If he done wrong, he come with this little lamb. Now, the high priest looked it over, the priest did, seen there was nothing wrong with the lamb, checked him up, see if it was all right; and if it did, then he laid the little lamb down on the altar.
And here come the man that done wrong; he said, "Now, I have been stealing. And I now know that I'm subject to death, because I have did wrong. God wouldn't want me to steal; His commandment says not. Now, I'm going to lay my hands upon this little lamb. And God's commandments here said, 'Thou shalt not steal,' and I stole. So I'm... I know I'm subject to death. Something's got to answer for my sin, 'cause I stole. And God said the day I eat thereof, that day I die. So I stole. And God said, 'You steal, you got to die for it.' So He required if I didn't want to die, I had to bring the lamb. So I lay the lamb down here; I put my hands on this little fellow's head, and him just bleating and going on. And I say, 'Lord God, I'm sorry that I stole. I confess and promise You I won't steal any more if You'll just accept me now. And for my sacrifice, and for my death, this little lamb's going to die in my place.'"
Then they take the big hook, and put it under his little throat, and cut it like that, hold him up like this, and the little fellow bleating, bleating, the wool flying, all bloody like that, and his poor little mouth, and him bleating, bleating, bleating. And first thing you know, his blood all bathes out and he bows his little head. That's all of it.
Then, the man, it's wrote down here on a record, is put over in the side of the ark, like this, that that man made a confession. If he does it the second time in one year, he has to die anyhow; he has to die with the lamb.

L-97 Now, that was the Old Testament. He went right back out of there, soon as he made his confession, went right back out. And maybe he commit adultery. Maybe he done something wrong, long on that...?... When he went back out of there... Maybe he killed a man. May... When he went back out... Anyhow, he went with the same thing in his heart, that he did when he come in. There's no change in him; only he'd by the law, letter of the law, answered the requirement. Now, that couldn't make--couldn't change his heart. The only thing he knowed was wrong, 'cause he read it on the law, and the lamb died in his place. Now, when Jesus came (See?), the Blood of Christ... See, what kind of a blood was that that bled? Animal's blood. Animal life, for a human life, it just can't take away sin: can't.
Now, when Jesus come, it wasn't only human's life, but it was God's own Life, Himself. That's what was in His Blood.

L-99 Now, we see that we do wrong, "Oh, I have did wrong. I've sinned. I've--I've lived wrong. I've done wrong." Now, I come to the altar. By faith I see the Sacrifice; I lay my hands upon Jesus' head. I say, "Dear God, I know that my... I'm a sinner, and wages of sin is death. And if I do wrong, I've got to die. And if I die, I can't come in Your Presence, I'll be punished in torment forever and ever. So I'm wrong, Father. And I want to be right, and I don't want to die like this." So I lay my hands upon His head, and His life was taken for my life. But the thing of it is, when I go away from the altar, I go away with a changed heart. See?
