<TITLE>10. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 Well now, Abraham didn't question God. He knowed that God promised that through that boy He would bless all the nations. And if God was going to bless them, whether he was dead or alive, He'd do it. That's all. And it had to come through there, so God was able to keep His promise.
So he got up the next morning, got a couple of servants and saddled a little mule. And him, and the boy, and the servants, they went on back. And way back, three day's journey. Think how far that was back, way back in the wilderness. And then they looked up and saw a mountain way away from there. So they went to this mountain, and he told the servants, "Now, you watch the little mule here for my boy and I, are going up this mountain, and we're going to worship. And the boy and I will return. The boy and I will return." He was going up to kill him. How's he going to? He didn't know, but God had promised. Somehow... See?
God lets His servant sometimes get right down to the last step, and then God comes on the scene. Don't you just love it like that, just to see that crucial moment?
Like the... In the Hebrew children and the fiery furnace, the last step of the road, and there appeared One like unto the Son of God. Is that right?

L-34 The woman with the blood issue had spent all of her money, all she had, and constantly the doctors could do her no good. She'd probably mortgaged her place, or sold it, and sold the horses, and the... everything. She had nothing left. She'd spent all of her money to the doctors, and the doctors had tried hard, but couldn't do her no good. And at that crucial moment, then Jesus come along. Just like Him, isn't it?
There was little Jairus; he believed in his heart secretly. And he'd sent for the doctor, and the doctor done all he could do. And--and just then his little girl had died, and they'd laid her out. Every... the darkest time he ever seen, then Jesus come along, just in that crucial moment.
Mary and Martha, after leaving the church and Lazarus, and they had believed on Jesus and Jesus walked away and left them in the crisis when the boy was sick. And then the boy got sick, and Jesus left. That was horrible. They'd sent for Him; He wouldn't come. He went farther. And they sent for Him again; He still didn't come, and that was still worse. And then after all hopes was gone then Lazarus died, buried in the grave four days, already decaying. And the darkest hour, all hopes gone, everything else, then Jesus came along just at that time. See?

L-35 Here his disciples going to Emmaus, all hopes gone. Their Master was dead and everything, walking along the road discouraged, going on back home, walking back to their fish nets, and wherever they were going. Then Jesus come along. See? Just like that. That's the way God does it.
Now, way back, and now they just had maybe... take probably forty-five minutes, or to a hour, to walk up this hill. Now, Jesus had to come somewhere right quick, 'cause He had the knife on His side. Isaac had the wood on his back. He was packing the fire in his hands, and he was going up the hill to kill his own son, because God told him to, and told him He'd bless all nations through that son.
