<TITLE>10. Par 100-111</TITLE>L-100 That in the Hebrews 11, the last chapter, I've often wondered that. In the last chapter, the last part of the 11th chapter of Hebrews, when he talks about Abraham. The great faith chapter, and at the end, he said, "They wandered about in sheepskins and in goatskins, and was made destitute, and sawed asunder. They wandered about, no place to go, hated, and despised, and persecuted. Of whom, this world isn't worthy of such people."

L-101 Then Paul stands and said, "But without us they're not perfect." For they only looked to the cross, and we look through the cross. We have the Spirit of Christ after It become human flesh and dwelt among us. We come here by the Holy Ghost, which is a far better plan.

L-102   And sometimes I wonder what Christianity expects today. A preacher going with a tent will have to be... or some new church or some new charge, calls himself a prophet, walks up there, say, "Well, if they'll give me so much money. If I can have the best car. If they'll... If my salary will be raised every six months."

L-103 We have to have the best. We have to have the best homes. We have to have the best clothes. What will we do when we stand in the presence of those men who wandered, in goat skins and sheep skins, no place to lay their heads, wandering about in deserts? And somebody can make fun of us and we're ready to quit church and not go back anymore. What Christianity requires today. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves.
O God, be merciful to us.

L-104   In that day, He spoke by the prophets, but this day through His Son. That was the word of a prophet, there. This is the Word of the Son, today. Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord!

L-105 In other words, if you're looking at the shadow, the negative, you might make a mistake. But This is developed, the picture is clear. That was by the prophet; this is by His Son. That was by a negative; this is by a positive. Amen. You see it? There isn't a chance to lose. It's a positive thing, this day through His Son. Oh, how wonderful!
... whom he has appointed heir... (oh, my)... heir of all things,...

L-106   What was it? It was an appointment. Oh, listen. He was appointed, Christ was, heir of all things. Oh, the Devil knowed that, from the garden of Eden, you see, when the Devil heard that Word there that day, in the judgment of those people. Said, "Because you come from the dust; dust you'll return; and the woman's Seed shall bruise the serpent's head." A promised Seed.

L-107 Satan constantly watched for that Seed. When Abel was born, he said, "There you are, that's the seed." And he killed Abel. His son, Cain, killed Abel. And as soon as Abel died, he said, "I got the seed." He slew it. He said, "I got it." But, Abel's death, Seth's birth was the resurrection again. Watch how they come down.

L-108   That line of Seth, it come down, a humble, righteous man; on down through Enoch; on down to Noah, to the end of the antediluvian destruction.

L-109 Look at Cain's line, become smart people, educated, science. Don't the Bible say... Did not Jesus say, that, "The children of this world are wiser than the Children of the Kingdom"? Look at the side of Cain yet today: smart, educated, skeptic, very religious; see, very religious, but scientists, builders, great men.

L-110 Take great men. Look at Thomas Edison, many great men. Look at Einstein, the brains of the world, so-called, today, the brains of the world. But we don't try to use brains. We let the Mind that was in Christ be in us, and look to this Word, and call that so.

L-111 Medical doctors, though we salute them with whatever we have, but the most of those are skeptics, agnostic. Look at the smart, intelligent people today. They're on that side over there, the Cain side.
