<TITLE>11. Par 108-117</TITLE>L-108 The Angel pressed the big button, and the pearly gates swung open; right down through the City of Jerusalem come the great, mighty Conqueror, bringing the Old Testament saints. The Angelic bands a-playing, as the Angels a-shouting... He was the mighty Conqueror. He had the keys of death and hell hanging on His side, going right down a past the palaces of Glory till He got to the throne. And He said, "Father, here they are. They believed in faith on Your Word, that I'd come someday. I have conquered both death and hell." What was it, brother? He had the scars in His hand to show that He had been in the battle. Glory to God in the highest. He is that mighty Conqueror. "Here they are, Father; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
I can hear Him say, "Son, climb up here by My side, and set down until I make every enemy Your footstool." Brother, someday He will come again, and what a day it will be.
He wasn't idle when He was in the tomb. We think He was just laying there, dead. But He was down still conquering, He went down and took the keys away from Satan, He's got the keys of both death and hell tonight. He said, "Because I live, you can live, also."

L-112 I wonder tonight, my dear brother, sister, have you thought that over sincerely? Do you realize that you only live because He lives. Have you appreciated it enough to offer up yourself and say, "God, here I am, a sinner, be merciful to me?" Have you ever accepted that all-sufficient Sacrifice? Have you ever told Him you loved Him? Does it hurt your feelings when you do wrong? If you've never come to that experience now in this entombment... When our time is getting away, just feeling fine... But I'm wondering, if you haven't ever received Christ as your personal Saviour, I wonder if you would do it while we bow our heads just a moment in a word of prayer.

L-113 Play that, "Mid Rendering Rocks," if you will, Sister Gertie, if you have it. All right, anything will do.
With your heads bowed, I'm going to ask you a real sincere question. Remember friends, sinner or saint, you're not out of existence when we bury you. Your soul is somewhere. Now, Jesus visit both places according to the Scriptures. Where would He find you if you'd go tonight? Would you have the door of mercy shut in your face, because you've rejected? Remember, not only is He a Saviour, He's a Judge. You're the judge now, how do you judge Him? Let Him be your Saviour now.

L-115 Little story comes to my mind. Sometime ago a little boy was sitting in a--a wagon. A gun fired down the street, and the horses run away and was going over a cliff. A young cowboy would run and stopped the horses just before the wagon went over the cliff, 'cause it had a baby in it. He saved the little one's life.
Many years after that, standing in the courthouse. This same boy had done a crime, took the road that's wrong, been guilty. He was drinking, gambling, shot a man; and was guilty, found guilty. And the judge raised up and said, "I sentence you to hang by your neck until your mortal life is gone."

L-117 That young man said, "Judge!" And he broke the court procession, as he jumped over the rail and fell at the judge's feet, for mercy.
He said, "Judge, look at my face. Don't you know me?"
He said, "No, son, I don't."
He said, "You remember a certain little boy's life that you saved many years ago from a runaway horse?"
He said, "Yes, I remember it."
He said, "I am that boy." He said, "Judge, you saved me then. Save me now."
The judge looked down at him and said, "Son, that day I was your Saviour. Today I'm your judge."
Today He's your Saviour. Sinner, tomorrow He may be your Judge. Let's think it over now as the music plays, and everyone praying, those who are on praying grounds with God.
