<TITLE>17. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 Look at--look at Cleo--Cleopas and them. They was walking along and saying, "Well, I guess it's all over. He's dead. We seen Him killed. We seen the spear go through His heart and died the day before yesterday. And well, we might as well go back home. That's all. Yeah, got a story down there that these women said they saw Him. But 'course, we heard the report. The Jews come and stole Him away, took Him out. I wonder what's happened."
A Stranger walked out and said, "Good morning, brethren."
"Good morning, sir."
Said, "What are you so sad about?"
Said, "Are you a stranger and don't know that Jesus of Nazareth, Who we expected to be the King of Israel, has dead. This is the third day and so forth and..."
"Why," He said, "Foolish of heart, slow to understand." Watch. The first thing He went was right straight to the Scripture. And that's where Jesus always hits us.
When you see a man dodge from that Scripture, you dodge him. See? You stay right on that Scripture.

L-66 He went right straight to the Scriptures and begin with the prophets and begin to explain in the Old Testament, how that God was suppose to do, raise up Christ, and how He would die and raise the third day and so forth. And they didn't know it was Him. They walked all day with Him.
So when they got to the place where they was going to go in, He acted like He was going to go on by. You know, that's the way He acts a lot of times. You think He's going to pass you right by. He ain't. Don't worry. He's not going to pass you by.
So He just act like He was going to go by. "Oh," they said, "You must come and abide with us. The day's far spent. You must..." They constrained Him to come in.
He said, "All right." When He's invited, He will come. So they go in, close the door. The little waitress come up and said, "What will you gentlemen have?"
They ordered up the bread and stuff. And so she went back and brought out and set it down. They returned thanks. And then Jesus done something the way He used to do it. And Cleopas looked at his friend, and his friend looked back to him. "Why," he said, "That's --that's the same way; that's the same way Jesus done it when..." He looked back and He was gone.
You see. They didn't run back real quick to argue their religion. They run back to say, "The Lord's risen indeed."

L-67 Now, we're not here to argue somebody's theology. Whether they're Methodist, or Baptist, or Presbyterian, or baptize this way, that way, sprinkle. That's... Don't pay no attention to that.
I'm here to say that Christ has risen from the dead. That's the main thing. And I hope it's not in vain. And I'm trying to help the sick people by it, to let them know that He died to heal them, as same as He died to save them. May He come and do it is my prayer.
Only believe. All things are possible, if you can only believe. "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, I'll do it." I've ask the Father in the Name of Jesus for His Son to come. And we... You yield yourself to Him. I'll yield myself to Him. He will speak to us this afternoon. The Lord bless you. All right.

L-68 Where's the prayer cards? Did you give out what... From what to what? They were given? E's? Let's find A... A, B, C, D, E. That's right. E's, my let's see; we been calling 1's and 50's and... Let's call something strange from it today then. Let's call from 75 today.

Who has prayer card E-75? It's a little bitty thing like this, a little white card, got a number and a letter. E-75? Would you raise your hand. Maybe I got the wrong... was it E's. Oh, I'm sorry, sister. Come up here. Right here at the bottom of the steps.

E-75, 76, 77, 78, 79. 79? All right. 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100.
