<TITLE>14. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 Notice, God was showing in Sarah and Abraham there, something that He is going to do for all people. You believe that? This is just a little time out for a minute again.
I want to ask you something. Dad, you remember what mother looked like when you married her? And you remember what dad looked like when you married him, mother? Fine looking, handsome man, and that hair combed back. How beautiful the eyes was of mother. You walked down to the altar, and swallowed big, in looking at her.
I remember when I got married. I looked at my wife and my heart beat real fast and... I couldn't; I was a little bashful; I couldn't ask her to marry me, so I wrote her a letter and asked her, and she accepted it. And so then when we... Remember when I got married how pretty she was? But you know what? You'll wake up one morning, saying "Mother, there's a wrinkle under them pretty eyes." "Dad, there's some gray hairs coming in your head." Death set in. It's going to get--get you.
God painted that picture, said, "There they are. Aren't they beautiful? That's My handwork. Now, death, come on, you can take the body."

L-34 Look now, Abraham and Sarah were old people. The Bible said they well stricken in age. Now, what He proved through Abraham, and what He did for Abraham and Sarah, He's going to do for all of Abraham's seed.
Now, you have to read the Bible between the lines. Did you know that? That's where some of you smart scholars fail. That's right. He said, "I've hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent and reveal it to babes such as will learn."
Notice. Just be a baby; forget all you ever knowed to know Christ. And notice, how my wife when I'm overseas, she'll write me a letter and say, "Dear Billy, I--here I am tonight, I'm thinking of you." Now, that's what she putting on the paper, but I love her so much I can read between the lines. See? If you love God real well (This is all hid to the scholars.), but you can read between the lines. It's a love letter. That's why I'm trying to tell you: love Him. It's a love letter you read. God wrote to you. It's all hid from the smart people now. You just have to get simple to read it. That's right.

L-35 Watch this just a moment. Maybe, sometime coming back, I'd like to take just this love letter, and may the Lord just reveal it to us. You know?
So watch. Abraham, you know what God did for Abraham and Sarah there? Might be strange; you might not think it. But He not only blessed them, but He turned them back to a young man and woman again. Did you know that? He did it. He sure did.
Now, watch. I can just imagine Abraham the next morning getting up, say, "Why, Sarah, you know what? Why, say--your--your--your--your--your--your--your wrinkles are going out of your face."
And she said, "Well, dad, look--look, you know what? That stoop in your shoulder's coming out."
They was turning back. God can do all things. Watch. They left there and went down to Gerar. Watch how far it is; about three hundred miles. Quite a trip for an old aged man and little grandma with a little cap on her head, going, shaking along down the road. And now, the strange thing was when they got down there in the land of the Philistines, Abimelech the king, was hunting a sweetheart. And all those beautiful Philistines girls down there, when he seen Sarah, grandma, coming on a cane, he fell in love with her. Nonsense.
He said, "That's the one I've been waiting for."
Abraham said, "Oh, you're fair to look upon, Sarah." A hundred years old. See? You have to read between the lines. She was very fair. She went back to a young woman.
