<TITLE>16. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 Listen, Christ is here. Jehovah's here. His promise is here. He's promise is good. Don't be afraid of it. Say, "I believe it. I accept it. He's knocking at my heart. I believe it."
Anyone else that hasn't raised their hands, would raise their hand for prayed just before we pray. God bless you. The whole group here, just a massive... All right. This may be the last time He knocks at your door. He's Jehovah-jireh tonight. In the morning, He may be your solemn judge.

L-56 Over in Colorado where I done a lot of ranching, there's a story told about a rancher there. A young baby was laying in the back of a buckboard one time, and there was a gun fight down the street, and someone shot off a gun, and the horses run away. A young fellow straddled his saddle horse, and took out after the buckboard, and just before it went over a bank, he caught it, and saved the life of the baby. About twenty years or twenty-five years later, there was a man tried in a court on a criminal case. And the judge, after the jury had pronounced the--their verdict. The judge was to speak the verdict after the jury had decided, and he said, "Stand up, young man." And the young man stood up. He said, "I sentence you to hang by your neck until your mortal life is gone. God be merciful to your soul."
And that young man said, "You can't do that judge." And he broke loose in the court, started running, and he said, "Judge, judge." He fell at his feet. Said, "Don't you know me?"
Judge said, "I don't believe I do."
He said, "You remember when you was a little boy, or young man, you saved a little baby's life?"
He said, "Yes."
He said, "You're the same young man that did that, aren't you?"
And the judge said, "I am."
He said, "I'm that baby." He said, "You saved me that day. Save me, judge."
The judge said, "Son, I was your saviour then, but I'm your judge now. The verdict is passed."
And to neglect Christ as your Saviour tonight, may be your Judge in the eternities beyond in the morning. Once more, will you raise your hands? God bless you, that's good. That's fine.

L-57 Now, heavenly Father, Thou seest every hand, and oh, I'm sure that You know their hearts. Every mortal must come to the end of the way someday. And as they're solemnly in this building tonight, raising their hands toward heaven, something made them do that. Something spoke to their heart strangely, and warmed their inward beings, and they raised their hands and saying, "Yes, Jehovah-jireh. I accept Your provided Sacrifice tonight, the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm a sinner. I'm in need. And He died in my stead to take my place, and through His Blood we have the waters of separation that separates the sin from the sinner. And we come humbly now to accept that propitiation for our sin." And I stand, as Your servant, between these people and the Master, and ask that through prayer, that You'll make a breach line, and wind Yourself into their heart, that they'll stop sinning from this hour, and fall so in love with Christ, until they'll look at those thing which are not, and say as if they were.
Grant it, Father. Give them long, happy lives here on earth, and in glory may they walk new and young, be changed in a moment, and a twinkling of an eye. These vile bodies will be changed, and we'll have a body like His own glorious body, for we shall see Him as He is. Take them, just now, tenderly into Thy care, Almighty God. For I ask this blessing in their behalf, in the Name of Thy Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-58 Don't you just feel scoured out? Think of it. Let's sing a verse of that, "Softly and Tenderly," now, come on.
 Softly, and tenderly Jesus is calling,
 Calling for you, and for me;
 See, on the portals He's watching and waiting,
 Waiting for you and for me.
 Come home, come home,
 Ye who are weary, come home;
 Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
 Calling, O sinner, come home!
