<TITLE>05. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 And the teacher dismissed the little fellows, and they go out on the street, and when the king come by they would wave their little British flag to show that they were loyal to him as the king. And a certain school, one little child did not return. So the teacher run out into the streets looking to see where the child was. And she found this little girl leaning against the telegraph post just weeping her little heart. And the teacher said, "What's the matter, honey?" Said, "Did you not get to wave your flag?"
And she said, "Yes, teacher. I--I waved my flag."
She said, "Well, did the--did the king pass this way?"
And she said, "Yes, teacher. The king passed this way."
But said, "Did you get to see the king?"
Said, "Yes, teacher. I saw the king."
What said, "What you weeping for then, honey?"
She said, "You know, I'm so little. I saw the king, but the king didn't see me." And she was disturbed.
Oh, how different it is with Jesus. No matter how small you are, how poor you are, any little worship He will see it.

L-20 And this great queen, his daughter, if she would come to your house, a woman of that caliber, and would humble herself to come to your door and knock, and you'd know who she was, you'd say, "Oh, great queen." Yet you're not her subjects. But, "Come in. You're welcome into my house. And anything that's in here you may have it."
No matter how much you treasured a little trinket it would be hers, because you'd feel honored to--to surrender this, though you thought much of it. You'd surrender it to the great Queen of England. It would be a--it would be a honor for you.

L-21 And if she would humble herself like that, every newspaper throughout the world would pack it. The great Queen of England humbled herself and went to New Haven, Connecticut, and to the poorest person there was there, and went into their home. Why, the television would pack it. All the radios would blast it. It would be on the Associated Press. Sure, she humbled herself.
And anything that was in your house, she'd be welcome to it. You wouldn't turn her away, certainly not, because she's so important.
But I want to ask you something. Who's more important than Jesus? Who could be more important, and who's more turned away than Jesus? He's turned away more than anybody ever was turned from any door. And He don't want to take nothing from you; He wants to give you the best thing that you could ever have: Eternal Life. And yet He's turned away. He wants to heal you when you're sick, but He's turned away. Oh, how He must feel.

L-22 If I knocked at your door, and you would let me in and say, "Brother Branham, come into my house. You're--you're just welcome here. I'll be glad for you to visit with me." Oh, I would appreciate that. And then I'd just feel at home. I'd go right in and if I want to take off my shoes and lay across the bed, I would do so. If I wanted to go into the refrigerator, and make me a great big sandwich, and eat it, I'd feel welcome. I'd just go ahead and make myself at home.
But when Jesus comes in, He isn't welcome. I want to ask you something. You say to me, "Brother Branham, I've already let Jesus in my heart a long time ago." Well, I sure appreciate that. That's very nice. But did you just let Him in as a fire escape? Did you let Him in to save you from hell? Or did you let Him in to have full control in your heart, to be welcome?
