<TITLE>17. Par 50-51</TITLE>L-50 Wonder, in closing I wish to say this, "Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's obligated. He's still the living God. He isn't dead. He's raised again. I wonder, tonight... I was reading a little story sometime ago about a--a Danny Greenfield, Central America, he was an evangelist, about seventy-five or one hundred years ago. And he won a lot of souls to Christ, and he dreamed one night that he died. And of course, he went up to heaven. When he got up to the door, there was a... The doorkeeper come out, and said, "Who approaches this holy place?"
And he said, "I'm Danny Greenfield, the American evangelist. I've won many souls to our Lord, and I come to take my position and my place in heaven.
"Just a minute, sir," said the caretaker. Goes back, "What did you say your name was?"
"Daniel Greenfield."
Looks it over and says, "There's not one here."
"Oh," he said, "You must be wrong, sir." Said, "I preached, and I won souls to Christ."
He said, "I'm sorry, sir, your name's not on this book, and you'll have to get away from the gates."
"Why," he said, "what can I do?" The Angel said, "The only thing I know to do, you might appeal your case to the great white throne judgment, if you desire to stand there."
"Why," he said, "I have no other choice."
Said, "All right."

L-51 Said, "He began to move, and going through space; he was going faster and faster. After while, he come into a presence of a light; he began to slow up, slow up. Finally, he come to a perfect stop. One light wasn't coming from any certain place, but was all around him--right in the center of this light." Said, "What a place to stand." Brother, I hope I never have to stand there.
After while the Voice said, 'Who approaches My throne of justice?'
And he said, "I'm Danny Greenfield, the American evangelist, I approach Your throne of judgment, oh, Lord." He said, "They condemned me at gates, and said my name wasn't on the book, and I appeal my case to Your justice."
He said, "All right, Danny Greenfield, I'll judge you according to My laws." He said, "Danny Greenfield, did you ever tell a lie in your life?"
"Why," said, "I was ready to say, 'Certainly I was an honest man.' But," said, "I remembered then, that there was a lot of things that I had said that wasn't just exactly true." Said, "Yes, Lord, I lied."
Said, "Danny Greenfield, did you ever steal in your life?"
He said, "I thought, if anything I could answer for, that I'd always been honest." And said, "In the presence of that light, I remembered a lot of little shady deals, that I'd pulled."
