<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 Now, I wish to read... Now, I know we're a little late and just about a half hour late. I know that many of you people work, but I--I want to take just enough time to try to explain tonight ('cause I'm going to pray for the sick) and I--I want you to understand it thoroughly. If would be a lot better for you to understand what you're coming up here for, and what you're here for, than it would be just a headlong into it and not knowing what you're doing. See? It's not a hit and miss proposition; it's we're meeting God. And we must... I'm not going to preach; I'm just going to explain to you what I think about it.
First, we always want to base everything we do upon the Word, 'cause it must come from God's Word. I believe that this is the foundation, is this blessed Bible. And everything that we do, and all actions of the Spirit must come from the Scripture as a promise of God. If it isn't, well I--I--I won't say God wouldn't be doing it, but I'd be just a little afraid of it if--if it was that way. But as long as it's from the Scripture. All right.

L-6 So now I wish to read some from the book of Saint John and the 12th chapter of Saint John the 20th verse. And then I want to take Hebrew 13:8 as a text.
 And there were certain Greeks among them which came up to the feast:
 And the same came to Philip, which was of Bethesda, and said unto him, Sirs, we would see Jesus.
Then in Hebrews 13:8 it is written:
 Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to day, and forever.
And now, my subject tonight would be: "We Would See Jesus."
And if I would go in this audience and ask each and every one of you to raise your hands, all here that would love to see Him, I believe that every hand would be up; for no one could ever, ever hear His Name, but what would long to see Him. That's my great anticipations, is to someday to come to Him and just laying my hands on His feet, the wonderful One.

L-7 Sometime ago down in the south, there was an old colored man and he had been out to an old plantation singing, and he got saved. And so on his way back to work the next morning, he was telling among the slaves, "I'm free."
And the boss came up and said, "Mose, what's this, you saying you're free?"
He said, "Yes, boss, I'm free!"
He said, "Come on over to the office, Mose, I want to talk to you about this freedom you're speaking of." So he said, "You remember you're a slave."
And when he got him to the office, he said, "Mose, what's this you're saying?"
He said, "Boss, I said I was free, because last night at a little singing, Jesus Christ set me free from the law of sin and death, and I'm a free man today."
He said, "Mose, do you really mean that?"
He said, "I mean it, boss, with all my heart."
He said, "Then I'll go down and sign the proclamation. I'll set you free too, that you can preach it among your brethren."

L-8 Years after that he come to die. And many of his white brethren come to look upon him, and he seemed to be in a daze or a trance. And he woke up, and he looked around, and he said--some of them said, "Mose, I--I thought you were gone."
He said, "I was just at the gate."
And he said, "What did you see, Mose?"
He said, "Well, I--I tell you what I saw." He said, "I was standing at the gate, looking, and I seen Him." And said, "There was someone come up to me and said, "Mose, come over here and get your crown and your robe."
He said, "Don't talk to me about crown and robes."
He said, "Why Mose, you were a faithful servant. You have earned a robe and a crown."
He said, "Don't talk to me about that. My reward is: Just let me look at Him for a thousand years."
