<TITLE>05. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 And the reason Jesus knew that within three days He would raise up...
Now, some people said, "Why, He said He was in the grave three days." Why, He died on Friday afternoon, raised up on Sunday morning, just one day and part of another. See?
But He never said just exactly three days, for He knew the type of Jonah being in the belly of a whale was His type, and He knew that David said, "I'll not leave My holy One see corruption." And He knowed that corruption sets in in seventy-two hours. And sometime within that three days and nights, God was going to raise Him up, 'cause He would not corrupt. See?
So He died on Friday afternoon, rose up on Sunday morning, because God promised that not one cell of His flesh would corrupt, and He rose up again. Amen. Now, do you love Him? With all of my heart it's so.

L-16 Now, let's turn over now for just a few moments. And if you'll give me your undivided attention, we'll just have a Sunday school lesson. And I would like to, if the Lord willing now...
Now remember, friends, on... How many hears me real good say, "Amen." So I am a poor--very poor teacher. But I'm just teaching this, not to make a doctrine, friends. If you disagree upon what I teach, perfectly all right. See? That's all right.
And maybe you know, my and your thumb print wouldn't be just alike either. And I guess our noses wouldn't be...?... Yes, our noses wouldn't look alike, 'cause there's no two of us in the world they claim, and no thumb prints the same.
But just the same, I--I love my thumb, my nose, too. If it is just a little different. You see? I--I--I'm glad you got yours and I have mine. So we're--we're happy for the members of the Body of Christ, aren't we?

L-17 And now, in these teachings, it's just my Scriptural observation of what little thing... I don't say the Lord says. This is the best of my knowledge. See? That could be wrong, 'cause that's just my own knowledge towards it, so it wouldn't be very much. But you...
I'll tell you what you do when I'm teaching. You do it like I do when I'm eating cherry pie. You know, I love cherry pie. Do you? Well then, when you're eating cherry pie, and what if you run into a seed? Do you throw the pie away? You throw the seed away, keep on eating cherry pie.
How many likes fried chicken? 'Course, all of you. Sure, all you southerners like fried chicken, especially the clergy. So when you're eating fried chicken and you run into a bone, do you throw the chicken away? Throw the bone away. You see? So that's what you do here. What you don't believe, you just kick off to one side, keep on eating what you think is right. That all right? Amen.

L-18 Now, we have to the sincere side of us. While we are, I want you to turn with me to our Sunday school lesson. And my subject for this afternoon, just for a short time, 'cause we've got to come back and preach tonight, is on "The Position Of A Believer In Christ."
How many Christians are here, raise up your hands. All the believers, raise up your hands, everywhere. Oh, I suppose that's wonderful. A hundred percent looks...
Now, if you're a believer... I believe that I know what the greatest curse that's on the Church today. It's not knowing what they are.
Now, with the help of God this afternoon, the Holy Scriptures, if He will help us, let's try to place the believer positionally in Christ, and show what his authority is in Christ. Then everybody out there will be praying for the sick, and--and we'll have a great meeting, I'm sure.
Let's bow our heads now while we close off our part of introduction, and now come to the sincere part of the meeting.
