<TITLE>13. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 She gets her little stocking of money. She slips it down under her waist. She pulls her little shawl over her face and down the street she goes.
Well, it's almost closing time down at the perfume shop. Everybody's up at Pharisee's. And there's a little old Jew setting in there all sour, "Oh, business is no good today. Don't know why it is." The door opens. This little soul walks in the door. "Well, look who it is. That's what comes in my shop, huh? Well, what do you want?" That's about the way some merchants ask, you know. "What do you want?"
She said, "Sir, I have come to buy some frankincense."
"What do you want? A dime bottle?"
"No, I want the best you got. It's for a very special occasion." That's it, a very special occasion.

L-39 Oh, we who give one little prayer a day, ten cents. Oh, goodness. This is a rare and a special occasion when we meet Jesus. He just don't want you to be a member of a church. He wants the best you got.
"Well, I've got it here, but I want to see the money first."
Oh, sure. He was out of that type, that said, "What profit is to leave Joseph in the grave, in the ditch." Make some money out of it, all right. Brother, that thing's got in the church. If they can make some money out of it, all right. That's not the reason: no, a million times no. I know you think I'm crazy; maybe I am. But when I think the way that people treats my Lord Jesus, is no better than that was back there. No wonder Jesus said, "The harlots and so forth would come in before you self righteous."

L-40 Well, he... She pours the money out on the counter. He counts it. Yep. Just exactly right. Thirty pieces of Roman denarii. So he gets up and he said, "Where are you going to take this."
She said, "Sir, it doesn't matter, does it? As long as you've got your money, what difference does it make? What difference does it make how--what I want to do as long as I ain't bothering you?"
She gets her money--her little frankincense box. She sticks it under here, the alabaster box, and she puts it under her coat and--her little shawl, and she walks up the street.
As she goes up, the devil kept talking to her. "Now, you're going to get really embarrassed. Sure enough. They'll... That Pharisee will put you in jail for doing that."
Why, if... "They'll throw you out of the house if you shout. You'll be excommunicated." What do you care about excommunication? Get to Jesus is the main thing.

L-41 She gets up there to the place. She looks over, and there He's still setting. Yeah, He was invited. He come, but nobody paid any attention to Him. They was... This was a big time, having too much fun.
That's what's the matter with America today. It's got too much fun to pay attention to Jesus. Oh, yeah, they like to make light and say, "Oh, there's no such thing as Divine healing. All that speaking in tongues and them other things, that's just all nonsense. We belong to a better class." Do you? If you want to call that big bunch of actors, impostors like acting like religion... They know no more about religion than a Hottentot knows about Egyptian knight. You want to belong to that kind of a cult, go ahead. But I want to get with a bunch that likes to get to Jesus. That's the main thing. Get to Him.
