<TITLE>07. Par 57-62</TITLE>L-57 Well, what is the head of all this cause that we're here this morning? What's the head of all of it? What made all this sickness and sin and disgrace? It was sin. See? Before you had any sin... Sickness is a attribute, or something that follows sin. If you don't have no... In other words, it's something that come out of sin. See? Before there was any sin, there was no sickness or nothing: no worry, no nothing, no old age, no breaking down, no heartaches, no broken homes, no nothing. See? It was just perfect. Well, what caused it, was sin, s-i-n. Well, then, sickness followed sin. Broken homes, attributes, immoral livings, and all those things followed sin.
Now, if you kill sin, you've got to kill the attributes, haven't you? You can't--you can't touch... You can't fool with sin, 'less you're fooling with this. And when you fool in this, it results in sin. See? Now, if you kill sin, then you kill the whole thing.
And now--now, you say, sickness, sometimes you have sick, and say, "Did I sin?" Oh, might not have been you sinned, but you remember, the sicknesses visit up... the iniquities of the parents upon the children, and the children's children, and their children, on to the third and fourth generation. See? And it's just a wearing down, wearing out of the human bodies, and sin piling up, and so forth. Like venereal, and so forth, it visits on down.

L-60 Here some time ago, a famous doctor here, had two girls that they took in and examined. They was going blind. And they found out, venereal disease, just as clean and moral little ladies as they could be, right here in this city, both of them going blind. And they didn't know what to do. They made they glasses, and they just went right on away from that. And give them a blood test, and there it was. And they checked it back; it was their great-grandfather. See? There you come.
Now, see, it comes down through the generations. It breaks down. Well, then when you're dealing with sin, you're dealing with sicknesses at the same time.

L-62 Now, Moses lifted up the serpent. Jesus said in Saint John 3, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up." Is that right? In other words, that was the moon to the sun. It was the shadow of what was coming. Well, if Divine healing was in lifting up the brass serpent, it's got to be in lifting up Jesus Christ. For it was, for all the--the brass serpent was, was a reflection of Jesus Christ in sin already judged in Divine judgment, God's Divine judgment. Not the ju... The world judged Him and killed Him.
But God's Divine judgment made a innocent Person, sin (Amen.) and--and judged it right there. You see? And He bore our--our Divine judgment, and took my penalty, taking your sins, and your guilt, and your ticket to hell, and your ticket to torment, and took it upon Himself, and died in our stead, and was sent to hell in my place. Amen.
