<TITLE>12. Par 100-110</TITLE>L-100 The first man went away under the law, under animal's blood; it couldn't change his heart, 'cause a animal life won't compare with human life. The animal can't give the human blood. See? The animal can't do it, 'cause his life is a different life. And an animal has a life, but not a soul. An animal is a living being but not a soul. But God put soul on man. So then, my soul... What is the soul? The nature of the spirit.
And when the soul of Christ was left--not left in hell, but was taken up, through the Blood, shedding of His Blood, when God taken Him to Calvary, it mingled His Blood out there on the cross; and when He stood there waving His head back and forth, the crowns around His head, like this, with thorns, the Blood running down in His face, dripping off of His locks on His shoulders, crying in an unknown tongue, "My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?" there's the Lamb. That's the One. That's the innocent One that died, that me, the unworthy one, could be made right, that I might have a right to Life. That's the unworthy. I... we're...?...

L-103 You're the unworthy one that that Lamb died for. Now, you come up here and lay your hands upon Him (See?), and make your confession, and God answers you back with the Holy Spirit, as a confirmation that He has received you.
 ... by one sacrifice,... (Here it is.)... by one sacrifice he has perfected for ever...
There you are. For the worshipper coming every year was a continual, about every year, went back; and he had to come the next year, the same desire in his heart. But when He made one Sacrifice, by Himself, every sin, every desire of sin, and everything was taken from the man's heart. And he stands perfected in the sight of God, not by what he done, but what Jesus done for him. And he accepted the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, what a marvelous thing, friend.

L-105 Now, "Having therefore..." Now, the 19th verse. We got about twenty minutes; let's put it all into the Scriptures now. Now, the 19th verse.
 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus...
Listen, here it is, Now, enter into the holiest place... There's a holy place, then the holiest place. Holy of holies it's called. The high priest went in once a year. And when he did, the first thing he had to do was to be sprinkled, himself. The ark was back behind the curtain.
And the high priest had to be anointed with the perfume made from the rose of Sharon. No other perfume would do. Do you know Jesus was called the Rose of Sharon? What is a rose? Where does perfume come from? From the rose. Where does...
Jesus was called the Lily of the valley. Is that right? Anybody knows where opium comes from? From a lily. The opium is brought from the lily. And what's the opium to do? Opium eases pain. When people are sick and suffering so tremendously, they're going out of their head, insane, they give them a shot of opium, and that settles it. They quieten. That's in the natural.

L-110 Jesus, in the spiritual, is the Lily of the valley. And when you get to such a place you can't stand yourself no more, and life means nothing to you, God's got a shot of opium for you from the Lily of the valley that eases all your troubles, all of them is gone away. You don't have to get drunk on whiskey to ease your trouble; they come right back again. But come and get a--a drink of opium from the Lily of the valley, and they're ended forever.
Let come, let go, what may; if you live, if you die, if you're this, or that, or the other, nothing separates you from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus. Christians are not promised a flower bed of ease, but they're promised grace sufficient for every need they have. Amen.
Say, I believe I feel religious right now. Think of it. Yes, sir. 'Cause when I get weary and wonder, I look over here and see this going on, that going on, but I think, "Wait a minute. My, my." See? There is the Lily of the valley.
