<TITLE>04. Par 10-15</TITLE>L-10 And what a great thing that is to know, that tonight right in this building there is Angels of God standing at attention. And they know every word that we say and everything that we do. And here is the Scriptural proof of it: said, "Did not He tell you these things while He was yet in Galilee?" Said, "Remember that He told you these things." That word "remember," that's a marvelous word. And, oh, what a sad thing that's going to be for the lost, that after they have sealed their doom, and after they've heard their last sermon, and to be over in a devil's hell, lost and no chance at all to repent, to remember the opportunities they turned down...

L-11 You say unto me then, "Preacher, is there remembrance in hell?" Jesus said there was. He said the rich man that lifted up his eyes in hell and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he said, "Remember in your lifetime..." There is a remembrance, and how the lost... What an awful thing that would be to know that the great meetings that they'd set in and had heard the mighty sermons of the anointed ministers of God, and not only that, but to see the anointed signs and wonders that God had performed among the people, and then to remember all these warnings and yet be lost, why, it would haunt them forever.

L-12 After the death of Jesus, the Bible tells us that He went and preached to the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the long-suffering of the days of Noah, and to bring to their remembrance that Noah and Enoch, and the great prophets of their days witnessed that there was coming a Messiah. And they rejected the Message.
Oh, it will be a terrible thing, my lost friend, for you in that day to remember when you die here, your works follow you. And they will either haunt you through eternity, or bless you through eternity.

L-13 But remember, what a great thing it must be and a joy for those who are saved, and can bring to face the facts (these Angels who are in the building tonight), to bring to remembrance the great meetings, and the great times, and the great joys that we've had together. What a time it must be ahead for both groups, both saved and unsaved.
God is a good God. He is so long-suffering. He's so full of gentleness, and meekness, and patience. He's not willing that any should perish. And He's done everything that can be done to keep man from perishing, but they will perish anyhow, because they believe not.

L-14 Now we take up our study tonight to see two men after the resurrection. And many had come and told of an empty tomb, had said that His body was not there. And some women had said that they had seen a vision of Angels which told them that He had risen from the dead. And yet with all this message, yet these people did not believe, and was discouraged going back home.
And to think of on the first Easter, the first beautiful, spring Easter morning, Jesus alive among the people, and these going along discouraged, walking along the road with saddened hearts, and was disturbed about the crucifixion. And as they walked, we find out that there was Somebody Who stepped out by the roadside and begin to walk with them. And they didn't know Who He was, because the Scripture said that their eyes had been holden.

L-15 Oh, here's where I want you to see. Not only was this something that happened, but it was a prophecy, and a shadow of something that was going to happen. You know, our blessed Lord never did anything just to be gattin' about. Everything He did had a meaning. Everything that He did was eternally; it never dies, every move, every motion, every Word. Oh, I'm so glad of that. You can just lay on to it with all that's in you and it will be made manifest.
