<TITLE>13. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 Now watch as we move on. The law was the policeman. The law hasn't got any grace in it. It tells you, you are a sinner. It's just to show you that you have done wrong. It's a policeman that puts you in jail, but there's no grace to get you out. No matter how many things you do within yourself, you can't do nothing to help yourself. A leopard couldn't lick his skin, the spots off his skin if he had to; he only brightens them.
So the law puts us in jail; grace brings us out. I don't want law. I don't want to be judged by the laws. I could never stand it. The law only says your guilty; you've got to die.
But what did Elijah represent? Elijah represents the justice of God. The stern prophet had the message of God. He stood up on the mountain. The king said, "You know what? I'll send up there and get that holy-roller." And he sent fifty men up.
And when he got up there, what happened? Elijah stood up and said, "If I be a servant of God, let fire fall out of heaven and consume you." Justice, they've treaded on grounds that they should not tread on. Would you want that? Certainly not.

L-41 Oh, the king said, "Perhaps maybe, there was a storm passed over. That's what. It's been some natural thing." So he sent another fifty.
And Elijah stood up and said, "If I be a man of God, let fire fall from heaven." And another fifty went out. That wasn't no storm. That was the justice of God. Treading on grounds that they had no business...
You know, it's been said, and it's a well proverb, "That fools will walk with hobnailed shoes, where Angels fear to trod." And that's true. "Silly people..."
These newspaper writers call you a bunch of holy-rollers, and some Divine--Divine healer, or some scandal name, and say things like that, but Angels would be scared to say one thing against it. "But fools will walk with hobnail shoes, where Angels fear to trod."
Your pastor will raise up and say, "Oh, that's a bunch of telepathy. There is nothing to it." Fools walk with hobnail shoes where Angels fear to trod. Certainly.

L-42 Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe, and it'd be better for you that a millstone would hanged at your neck and drowned in the deeps of the sea, than to even to offend one of such." God, when He brings His children in a place, and ordains them and overshadows them, and positionally puts them into the place that they are suppose to be, and then fools say such remarks as that...
Now, what did He do? Will you want justice? Do you want the law? You can't be saved by the law. No, sir. I don't want justice. I'm a sinner by justice. But bless God, I'm a Christian by grace. He turned their head. That's a horrible picture there.
But while they were yet speaking, Jesus said, "This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him." What can He do for you? He can wipe away your sins. He can take your guilt away. He can take God's law and make it righteous. He can take the justice of God upon His own self and bear the sins that you have committed. "This is My beloved Son; hear you Him." What did He represent? The love of God.
