<TITLE>17. Par 191-199</TITLE>L-191 And he said, "You know, it's just the time of year, that my... I don't believe I will have it in the house, because too many couldn't see me, in my best home." See? Hypocrite, Pharisee, Actor...
A lot of people today has to go to church to show your religion. Oh, my. That's right. "I will go to church. I will be a pretty good fellow at church, and people will think I'm real religious." You Pharisee, actor. Jesus sees you all the time. He knows where you're at. He knows all you're doing.
And here he goes down there then, you know, and he says, "I will just move it out on the--out on the piazza, out there in the yard. And you know, these great grapes that I got here, these great, big, white ones. Oh, they're delicious. So, I just timed it. They're in, full. The harvest is just ripe. And the smell, that aroma coming through there, won't it be beautiful? And I will set my table out there, and all the people will come around the gates, and look around."

L-194 That's the way Easterner does, anyhow, always gaping at something, everything goes on. You don't have to have... A crowd about getting a crowd; just go over there and start something. They'll all come. Everybody will be right there, looking on, you know.
Said, "Oh, all around my gates and everywhere, the people will be standing. And, you know, I will be the talk of the city for the next year. I will be. I will be. Oh, it'll--it'll--it'll boost me up, see. It'll make me something."
Who cares about "me"? You ought to be thinking about Jesus, not what you're going to be when you become a Christian, but what are you going to do for Christ when you become a Christian? "I will go to church. I will join. And I will be sprinkled," or whatever you do, and take you in the church, and shake hands. And put my name on the book, and I will be considered a--a better person. I will be considered..." Is that all you come to Christ for? Shame on you, actor. Pharisee.

L-197 I come to Christ to see what I could do for Him. I got to do something for Him. I want to make Him better. Let people see Him.
Not long ago, was a healing campaign come to a certain city. "The man of the hour," pictures on their papers, out on the walls and all over everything, and not Jesus' Name mentioned once. I said, "Where does Jesus come in on this? 'Here's the man of the hour. The man with a heart for the people. The God's man for this, and God's man for that."' I said, "Where is Jesus at? I thought He was the Man of the hour. I thought He was God's Man. Where is He at?" That's what it is, a bunch of actors, Pharisees. Amen.

L-199 Notice. Oh, he's going to put in on big, out there. And said, "Then, at nighttime, when I--I light the candles and so forth, and hang them out in the air. And the soldiers standing by, the guards with the--servants with their torches on, won't it be wonderful?" And how, oh, rubbing his hands, and so forth.
And then, finally, the day arrived for the--the great banquet. It's going to be set now. And then they got everybody ready. And after while, I hear the bells a jingling, and up come Dr. Ph.D., F.D., So-and-so, D. Jones, Pharisee, the big fellow rolls up there, the chariots, you know, stop. They always got a bunch of flunkies around, those rich people. And somebody comes out and takes his horses, and he takes them over to the stable and feeds them, and grooms them. And then he's invited into the house.
