HEBREWS, CHAPTER TWO #L-3 57-0828

L-217      The 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th chapter, from there in, oh, my! Have your pencil and paper, and everything, ready, for I believe the Lord is going to give us a great time. Now we're...

L-218 Paul is exalting and placing, positionally, the Lord Jesus. Now, if we get through this tonight, Sunday morning... Which the most of this is going to blend right in with Sunday morning's Message, because it's "separating the sabbath." That's a great question amongst Sabbatarians today. And I would invite you all to come for Sunday morning. For, which is right, Saturday or Sunday, for worship? What does the Bible say about it? And so then, whether the... This Book is separating law and grace, and It's placing each one to its place. The Hebrews was raised by the law, and Paul was telling them what grace played, with law.

L-219   Now, let's get just a little background now. We're going to start back.

L-220 By the way, I got me some reading glasses. Maybe I can... If I happen to make a--a spill tonight, I got them. You know I'm all... I just lack two years of being fifty years old, and I don't see like I used to, close to me. When my sight... I begin to notice the words blurring, I thought I was going blind. I went for an examination. The doctor said, "No. You're just past forty, son." Well, he said, if I live to be old enough, it might come back again, get that short sight back again. He said, "Now, you can read your Bible if you push it out from you?"

L-221 I said, "Yes."

L-222 Said, "After while, your arm is not going to be long enough."

L-223   And so I--I hope now, in this studying, that I... This little Collins Bible has a good-sized print in it. I can make it out pretty well. But when we get over in the big, deep places where we got to take the New and Old Testament, and blend together. I got a small Scofield. And I'm used to the Scofield Bible, its markings. I don't read the Scofield notes now, because I don't agree with Scofield on many of his--his theories. But I--I do like the way it's set up, because it's... I've had it for a long time, and read it, and so much, till I kind of know how to find my subject.

L-224 This is all new to me, of teaching, and I'm not much of a teacher. But, you put up with me for a little while, I'll tell you the Truth as far as I know It, anyhow.

L-225   Now, this Book is Paul, remember. He was... How did we find him? He was a great teacher, to begin with, or a great scholar. And he was trained in the Old Testament. Can anybody tell me now who we found his teacher was? [Congregation says, "Gamaliel."--Ed.] Gamaliel, one of the noted teachers of the day. And then Paul, we find out, one day...

L-226 Before he was called Paul, can anybody tell me what his name was? [Congregation says, "Saul."--Ed.] Saul. And he was a great authority in Jerusalem, a religious authority. And he come up as a--as a real-trained, religious man. He could speak four or five different languages, and a very smart man. Well, did his education and smartness help him? No. He said he had to forget all he knowed, in order to learn Christ.

L-227 So we find out, then, it doesn't take a smart man or an educated man. It takes a--a man that's willing to humble himself before God, regardless of how.

L-228   Did you know Dwight Moody was--was so uneducated till, honest, his writings were poor as I don't know what. They had to fix up his messages, all the time. He--he was such a poor writer, very uneducated.
