<TITLE>10. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 Now, they're not all like that. There's insurance agents setting right here now. Many times people has come and said, "Billy, I want to sell you insurance." Now, I guess it's perfectly all right.
I said, "Look, I have insurance."
And he said, "What kind of insurance do you have?" Said, "What policy do you hold?"
I said, "Eternal life."
He said, "Eternal Life?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "Who sells them policies?"
I said, "The Lord Jesus."
He said, "Do you have insurance?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "What kind is it? Really, what is it, Billy?"
I said, "It's insurance."
He said, "What..."
I said, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine."
He put his arms around me (a boyhood chum); we was standing right across the street here. He said, "Billy, that'll not put you in the graveyard up here."
I said, "I know; but it'll get me out. I'm not worried about getting in there. It'll take me out." That's right.
I could think of my insurance policy when I was sick, but it did me no good. But my insurance of Jesus... I had a anchor, steadfast, the assurance that God swore by Himself He'd keep every word He promised.

L-40 When Mayo said, "There's not a hope for you." Not a hope for me to live, that regurgitation that would finally kill me... But my anchor held within the veil. "Well, what do you see?" I don't know what I see. There's something that I know. That's what it is: you know it! It's not by works, it's by faith. We believe it.
What kind of assurance did Abraham have from the doctor, the medical association of Ur, or anywhere else, when he was a hundred years old and Sarah, ninety, they was going to have a baby? But his anchor held within the veil, for God give Him the promise and he rested upon it, and called things which was not as though they were, because knowing that God was able (Here it is!), God was able to perform that what He had promised. He made the world; He made me; He made everything; He made you; He made all, everything by His Word. And His Word will do just what It said He will--it'll do.

L-41 Now, oh how... what hope, which hope we have, assurance of the hope, within the veil. (We'll have to hurry now, because we got a big prayer line coming.)
Notice, "Whether..." Oh, my, I... looky, everyone now, 20th verse. Just look at this: "Where the forerunner is for us entered in, entered, even Jesus..." The Forerunner of what? The Forerunner of our salvation, physically and spiritually: "For He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." The Forerunner of our salvation has already entered in. The assurance... already "entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec."
Now, we're coming to where we want to get this text right quick now, and get into it.

L-42 All these great promises, we bottleneck it down till one thing: that Jesus, our Forerunner, Who was the Seed of Abraham, through the Holy Spirit has called us to this blessed hope that we now have, a anchor to the soul, steadfast and sure, anchored within the veil. This Jesus, being made a Forerunner, Who was in the order of Melchisedec...
Now, this great Man, Melchisedec, we want to speak on Him for the next few minutes. Hurrying up next ten or fifteen minutes and then for the prayer line... Build your faith now. Don't let the devil rob you of anything. You're here this morning in this little building where Almighty God will come into this humble abode here. He said... Looks pretty bad, but He come to a manger. He will come to any humble heart that'll open up, say, "Yes, Lord Jesus, I believe it. I might not even understand it, but I believe it anyhow."
