<TITLE>09. Par 34-38</TITLE>L-34 One great plantation down there, it was asked one time, where they had over a hundred slaves. All of them were--you had to beat them around and everything else. But one young fellow kept his shoulders out; he was as gallant as he could be. And boy, as soon as his boss said something, he backed up to it, and he done his work good.
And some slave buyers come by one day, said, "Want to ask you something." Said, "What makes that young man like that?
Did you make him a boss over the rest of them?"
The owner said, "No."
Said, "Well, do you feed him a little better than the rest of them, or give him a better place to sleep?"
Said, "No."
Said, "Well, what makes him so gallant? And what makes him so up-and-doing? What makes him conduct himself like that?"
He said, "Well, sir, I didn't know until just recently." Said, "I've come to find out that the tribe that he's from, he's the son of the king. And he still realizes that, though he's an alien. And he conducts himself before his brethren as a young coming king."

L-35 God help us. Let's not be bold and ignorant about things. Let's conduct ourselves as sons of God. A daughter of God, don't go out here and live in beer joints, and paint her face up, and cut her hair off, and act like a prostitute. Conduct yourself as daughters of God. You're a daughter to the King. That's right.
Sons of God don't go out here and take the Bible and say, "Oh, the days of miracles is past," and that, all that kind of stuff. They stand up for everything that God said. We may be pilgrims, and strangers, and aliens, but we're sons and daughters of the King. Prick up your shoulders high, and live like men and women ought to. Live like real Christians. Amen.

L-36 Over in the book of Isaiah and the--in the 2nd chapter, we read in the 18th verse, just one little paragraph here, just a--a--just a few words out of this 1st verse, just for a little text. And we're try to be praying for the sick in the next fifteen minutes.
 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord.
May He add His blessings to His Word. Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Thy Word. Thy Word is truth. And now, help us, Lord, as we come tonight to understand. You're the great Teacher; now, help us to understand. We pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-37 Now, may the Lord bless you real richly tonight, as we speak on the word for a few moments. "Come, let us reason together." I think that's one of the sweetest verses in the Bible, don't you?
Now, Isaiah, this young prophet, in his days the church had all got away from God, and they were offering strange sacrifices. And God had told him, how that everything was gone. And he was down in the temple one morning, as a young fellow, probably in his early forties. Isaiah's prophecy, what he wrote here, he was a major prophet, one of the greatest in the Bible.

L-38 There's sixty-six books in the Bible, and there's sixty-six chapters in Isaiah. Isaiah starts off with the generation, the--in the--I mean in the creation. In the middle of the book, he ends up the Old Testament, and brings in the, "voice of one crying in the wilderness," and ends off over in the millennium, where they'll--the sixty-six verse, the sixty-six chapter of the--like in the book of Revelations. It's a complete Bible in itself.
Isaiah is a prophet of grace. He was the one who really set forth, that how the Blood of Jesus, and how the coming of the Just One, and how God would cleanse His church, and so forth, by His sovereign grace.
