<TITLE>07. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 Jesus, with His head back, walking on, and the priest screaming at Him, making fun of Him, others crying, "Hosanna."... But did you notice, the whole burden of all the world rested upon Him? Calvary, dark hours in Gethsemane laid before Him. And, oh, as He went, He never noticed their scoffing.
You know, when someone says something evil about you, and you want to take it up and get angry about it, that shows that you haven't went quite deep enough yet with God. Big men don't do those things. That's what made Him God to me. He was big. He didn't have to notice their little scoffing. He had a purpose. He had a work to do, and that was to fulfill what God had sent Him to do. And He was determined to do it. He didn't care what anyone said.
And I say this with all the respect that I have. I've been offered great positions in churches if I'd forget about Divine healing, and a good salary, a fine home. But God sent me to pray for His sick children. And it makes no difference what anyone says, I've got a commission to do. And they can say, "Holy-rolly," or whatever they wish, I got a commission to do. And you've got a commission to do. And every one that's borned of the Spirit of God, has got a commission to do. Don't make any difference what the world says. And you don't notice their scoff.

L-24 He had something on his heart. He was going to Calvary. The decisions had to be made. And as He walked down the street and the people throwing things at Him and screaming... Now, we know that his voice among all the thousands of voices screaming, this poor, old, spindly, ragged beggar, way over to the side of the gate, Jesus could've not heard his voice.
But he had a sincere heart. He had the same thing in him that the woman that touched His garment. And as I can notice him, as they said, "Oh, He's passing by."
"O Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy." I can hear him say, "God don't let Him pass me by."
And about that time, Jesus stopped, turned and looked around, just as He did with the woman who touched His garment. His voice perhaps, never touched Him; but His faith touched Him.
That's the kind of a touch that Jesus wants to feel from this church tonight, not our voice, but our faith. We might scream to the top of our voice; that wouldn't touch Him. It's our faith that reaches out and touches Him. That's what He's looking for tonight, friends, is somebody who has faith.

L-25 And Jesus stopped. He turned around, said, "Bring him here. Thy faith has made thee whole," was the voice that come back. "Thy faith has saved thee. And I can see that blind beggar as he stood there after Jesus had pronounced that to him, as he, wondering what would--what had happened. A little cool feeling perhaps, went through his body. And he begin to look, and he seen his hands. And he knew then, that the God of Elijah, that the God of Moses, that the great Captain of the host of the Lord that stood just out at the gate, was on earth again. It was a sign. And he went down the street glorifying God.
I say to you tonight, friends, that same Captain of the Lord's host is in this building tonight, and your faith can stop Him. Just think, no matter what the burden is, all the sins of the world rests upon Him, all the healing of the world rests upon Him. And watch... You say, "Well, I'm just a little housewife. I'm..." No matter who you are...
Jesus, with all that on His mind. We would say tonight, "Oh, don't trouble me. I've got too much to think about." And look at all the celebrities standing around. But that one poor, little, insignificant, blind beggar had faith enough to stop Him in His journey to Calvary. And He turned around and told him, "Your faith has saved you."
