<TITLE>17. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 And not only that, but He's a God of resurrection; He's a God of Life. Amen. "I'll raise it up in the last day," said Jesus in Saint John 6. "All that comes to Me, I'll give him Everlasting Life. He that eats My flesh and drinks My Blood hath (right in present tense) Everlasting Life, and I'll raise him up again at the last days." Oh, my, my. Get that kind of faith in you. Watch what happens to sickness and troubles and things. They just vanish away. Don't even pay any attention to them any more. You're moving on. Now, that's not some mythical story; that's God's Word.
Sarah, a beautiful young lady again, sure, she become fertile in this body. And she brought forth little Isaac, a beautiful little child. She loved him. She was a young mother then. She could take care of him. And, mother, you'll be that way again someday too, back young again. Dad, you'll be the same thing in the resurrection if your heart's right with God.
Remember, "He that loses his life, shall find it. But he that keepeth his life shall lose it." Is that right? Don't... If you want to give your life... If you want to keep your life and go ahead, say, "I'll do this and I'll do that...?... time. Oh, well, I don't care what the Bible says." All right. You're going to lose it. But if you'll lose your life for Christ sake, you'll find it. That's exactly. It'll be there again. So let's just lose it.

L-58 We used to sing a song:
 Let me lose myself and find it Lord in Thee. Amen.
Notice. The days passed by. What a lovely, Abraham, a young fellow now, and Sarah, with her lovely little boy raising him up, little Isaac. God had promised all through those old years what would take place. Now, He changes them and brings them right back so he start over new again, showing what He's going to do to all the Seed of Abraham at the resurrection. The time come. Now, how...
What was the junction then a sign of? The destroying of Sodom and Gomorrah? A sign of the junction time. And what's these things happening for, Angels appearing, prophets appearing, and signs and wonders appearing? We're at the junction time to be changed again, right at the time. Oh, my. That just makes me feel good.

L-59 Notice. Now, God gave Abraham a test again. All of life is full of testings. And Abraham said... One night when he was speaking with God, God said, "Now, Abraham..." Now, in closing, listen. He said, "Now, Abraham, I want you to take your only Son, your only begotten Son, and I want you to take him to a certain mountain, that I'll show you, and I want you to kill him there for a sacrifice."
Did it stagger Abraham? No, sir. God said so. Well, He said... The Bible said in Romans 4 that he had received him as one from the dead. He knew that God was able to raise him from the dead, from the...?... from where got him. There you are. That's it.
So I imagine Abraham said, "I can't tell Sarah this. My, those beautiful eyes and those [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] cheeks. Now, to see them stained again with tears, I couldn't do it. So I'll just take the child." He took a mule, and put some wood, chopped it, and put it on the mule for the sacrifice of the burnt--for the burnt offering. And he took little Isaac by the hand. He took two servants. And he walked three days.
