<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 As I was setting in my room a--just awhile ago, after having this time of fellowship with my good friend, pastor Boze from Chicago, I was thinking, "God, what shall I say tonight, to the purchased of Your Blood?" For coming before audiences, whether they are small or great that does not matter.
Last evening we had, was speaking on that, how God meets with large numbers or small numbers, just wherever hearts are giving Him welcome. And realizing that you who have come tonight to express your faith and to open your hearts to hear God's Word, you to...

L-10 I've many times wondered how it would feel to me, if I could have the privilege of holding in my hand in a charger or a glass, two drops of the literal Blood of Jesus. What would I do with two drops of the literal Blood of Christ? Oh, I believe I would take it to my heart, and I would hold it, and I would weep. But you know in the eyes of Him Who shed His Blood freely, I have a greater than that before me tonight. For I have had, been given the privilege to speak to the purchase of His Blood. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but would have Everlasting Life."
So that little piece of Scripture, just a teeny little one inch square, on a, just a piece of paper, yet if the right attitude is taken to that Scripture, it might change the--it would change the Eternal destination of this world. It isn't the size; it's the quality.

L-11 Some time ago, I was reading where a little boy was up in an old attic. And in the attic he run across a postage stamp of less than one inch square. And he taken it to a stamp collector, and this stamp collector gave him one dollar for it. Later it was sold for one hundred dollars. And it's gone from collector to collector. And I understand that now, that same postage stamp is worth almost a quarter of a million dollars, just one little piece of paper. But that isn't, the paper isn't what makes it so valuable, it's what's on the paper makes it valuable.
And that's the way it is with John 3:16. It isn't how much Scripture is written, it's what it holds. It holds a message to the world, that God so loved.

L-12 And now, I would take for a subject, if it should be called that, for the next few moments, "When Divine Love Is Projected, Sovereign Grace Takes Its Place." And when God so loved the world, God's Divine love to Adam's race, when He so loved it, Christ stepped out and sovereign grace took its place. God's love was met by sovereign grace. God gave His only begotten Son. You see it?
Now, I used to think that God was angry with me, but Christ loved me. But come to find out that Christ is the very heart of God. And in this beautiful type of the coming out of the children of Israel, how that Christ in type, was the smitten rock. And the only way that those people... After searching everywhere for water, they were perishing. And Moses, God's servant, took the judgment rod, which it was a judgment stick... It had brought judgment upon the unbeliever of Egypt, flies, gnats, all kinds of diseases, affliction. God's judgment stick that was waved in the hand of His servant, smote the rock, and rock gave forth its water, and a perishing people was saved. What a beautiful type of John 3:16.
