<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>59-0329S, Living, Dying, Buried, Rising, Coming, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 49 min
L-1 It's just beyond anything that we could express in human languages of how our hearts feel today as we gather here on this most solemn sacred morning. This morning represents the time that when our religion was made real, because it was the rising up again of Thy precious Child Who came to redeem the whole human race. And we're here this morning in celebration of that great supreme triumph, Lord, that made us more than conquerors of both death, hell, and the grave. And we thank Thee, that after all these years have passed, we still gather early of a morning on this Easter morning to worship Him, because we believe that He shall come again.
And we would pray that You would forgive all of our sins and our trespasses that is recorded against us, as we humbly confess our wrong, and accept His atonement for our sin. Heal the sickness that's in the midst of us, Lord. Help us as we read Thy holy Word, which is the Foundation of all of the truths that You have left for us to live by and to believe.

L-3 And we pray not only for this group that's gathered here, but all around the world, for we are looking with eager eyes and longing hearts for His return. We stand today in darkness, in a chaos, that when most any time that some fanatic might just blowup about something, and turn a little button, and the whole world could be blowed into bits. As it has been told us by great authorities, that the wars will only be a few hours long, if it ever happens again... And oh, as we're standing today on the very brim of another war. Then the Church is standing on the brim, that most glorious resurrection, for we shall be caught up together with the sleeping saints to meet the Lord in the air, and forever be with Him.
We have come to worship Thee, Lord. And receive us today. Bless the reading of Thy Word, the singing of the songs, the preaching of the Gospel, receive the prayers of the penitent. Hear the prayer for the sick, and get glory unto Thyself, for we humbly ask it in the Name of Jesus Thy Son. Amen.

L-5 To you who would like to take where we're to read this morning for our Scripture...
And we're sorry that--that to know that we do not have the seating room for this fine group of people who's come early this morning to worship with us from different churches, and from different states; and even different nations has gathered this morning here at the Tabernacle for this most glorious worship of the Lord.
I wish for you to turn to the Book of Psalms, Psalms 22. I know this is rather an unusual place to read for an Easter service, but God is unusual.

L-8 And now, after this service, we will adjourn in about one hour, so that you may go for your breakfast. And then Sunday school service will start at nine-thirty. And then immediately after the Sunday school service, there'll be baptismal service here at the--the pool. And then this afternoon at six o'clock, prayer cards will be given out for healing service for tonight. And if you have any loved ones that's sick and needy, remember to bring them out tonight, and, for this will be the last time we can have this for a--a while, anyhow. I'm leaving in the morning at five o'clock for Los Angeles and through the west coast for a series of services.
