<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 On Easter morning, when the sun was about ready to shine, the morning star come from the skies and rolled back the tombstones and the Bible said, that, "Many of those of saints that slept in the dust of the earth, rose and come into the city, and appeared to many."
I can see Caiaphas walking around, say, "Well, what do you think about that?" Talking to his next priest. "What do you think about that? Oh, all that rumor up there. The day getting black. What was it? Was that some magic trick or something another? What do you think about it?"
I can hear Sarah say, "Abraham, who is that?"
And Caiaphas looked around, said, "I ought to know that young man and woman somehow."
"Sarah, we're being noticed."

L-45 And they had a body like His own glorious body. They vanished out of sight. They walked around for about forty days. Then one day when He was standing yonder and begin to see Him--He commissioned His disciples, "Go into all the world; preach the Gospel to every creature. These signs shall follow them that believe."
While He was talking, there comes daylight under His feet. All gravitation had let loose. Oh, you talk about a Conqueror. He conquered everything. And He begins to go up, taking with Him the Old Testament saints, on beyond the moon, beyond the stars, beyond all the spheres that we could think of. After while, they come in the sight of the great beautiful city, Oh, in its splendor.

L-46 And the Old Testament saints, being led by the Lord Jesus, the mighty Conqueror, the Old Testament saints, when they got close to that great celestial city, they said, "Lift up ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up, and let the King of glory come in."
And the Angels behind the gate said, "Who is this King of glory?"
And the Old Testament saints said, "The Lord of hosts, mighty in battle, the great Conqueror." They pressed the button and the pearly gates swung open wide. Down through the city of Jerusalem come Jesus in the forefront with all the Old Testament saints; He led captive, captive.
He ascended on high and give gifts to them, walked up in the Presence of God, the Father, and He said, "Here they are, Father. I have overcome, and I've brought them here."
He said, "Climb up on this throne and set down at My right hand, till I make every enemy Your footstool."

L-47 He's the mighty Conqueror. He rent the veil in two. There's never been a Conqueror like Him. He conquered death, hell, grave, fear, everything else, and it all lays in His blessed providence tonight. It's for you and I.
What we need today is something gallant. Men are looking for gallantry. Man are looking for somebody who can stand out in the front, somebody who will be who they are. God, grant the day to soon come that when men will be what they claim to be. That men if--if you're sinner, say you're sinner. Be honest about it and quit hiding behind the church, the coat of the church. "I belong to so-and-so." Shame on you. If you wasn't a Christian, confess you're not a Christian.
