<TITLE>07. Par 19-21</TITLE>L-19 Tonight we want to talk on the--the law. Now, under the Old Testament many think that the law, or the--that the shedding of the blood begin in the law. But the sacrifice for sin was before the law. And as soon as they were brought out of the garden of Eden, Abel offered to God a lamb, which was in type the Lord Jesus.
Now, Abel went and got his lamb, wrapped a rope, or not a rope... Perhaps in them days they didn't know what hemp was, I guess, to make a rope out of, but maybe say a grape vine, around the little lamb's neck and drug it up to the altar, rock, laid it down, beat its little throat with a rock until the blood begin to bathe its little wool and it bleating and dying... Did you ever hear a lamb die? Oh, it's the most pathetic thing you ever heard. And that little lamb dying there was typifying the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, it would seem strange that...

L-20 Did you ever notice in the Scripture, Jesus was led away. Did you ever notice why, wonder why He wasn't born in a house and in a cradle like a little baby is? He was born in a barn, a stable. Lambs are not born in cradles; they're born in stables. He was the Lamb of God. And they led... Abel led his lamb, and Christ was led away, the Lamb being led to the slaughter.
And as Abel sacrificed in type the lamb at the altar and the beating of its neck, its little blood, as its veins pushing out and the blood spraying over its little body and its white wool becoming bathed red, and it bleating, bleating, bleating, as it got weaker, until it finally stopped quivering and died...
It typified the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary, wounded, His locks full of blood dripping over His body, and crying in a language that could only be interpreted by spiritual interpretation, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" He died speaking in tongues, Jesus did. He was a Lamb speaking a language like Abel's lamb. He could not understand... The crucifier of the lamb, Abel, could not understand what his lamb was saying. And neither could the crucifiers understand what the Lamb of God was saying. But by interpretation it was, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" All in types, that lasted through the years.

L-21 And in the Old Testament if a man done anything wrong he had to come under the--the blood to be justified again, for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. How beautiful, how striking that comes to us today. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. No matter what church you belong to, what denomination, what organization, how good a father or mother you had, it's a individual affair. That every man or woman today in order to be saved, doesn't have to study theology; they don't have to learn any certain kind of prayers. The only thing they have to do is accept the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that's been prepared. Then through the shedding of blood there comes remission of sin, or sins remitted.
