<TITLE>07. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 There He did it. That person's got a right to be free. Satan don't hold them no longer. If you could get them to see, not their aches and their pains, or some preacher praying for them, or some holy church... That's all right. That goes with it. But the main thing is see what Christ did for you. You're free. Christ died for you. Amen. That's the Gospel.
 Mid the rendering rocks and darkening sky,
 My Saviour bowed His head and died.
 The opening veil revealed the way,
 To heaven's joy and endless day.
 There's where He died.
 Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me...
How could I be saved? Get rid of sin. He was the sin offering for me; so He died. Now, if sin is dead, then buried, He carried my sins far away. He was a scapegoat that went out. And the scapegoat took the sins of the people on him and went out into the wilderness to be--to die. Go out there and took the sins of the people and took them far away...
So did Jesus. He was... He--He took the sins of the people, and carried them far away, so far that He put them in the sea of God's forgetfulness. If sin is dead, bury it.
That's why we have baptisteries. When people believe that story, they come confessing their sins that they're tired of it, they've divorced it, they've separated from it, and they're tired of it; so it's dead. And sins has no more power upon that believer, because he stands justified in the death and burial of Jesus Christ. Therefore, he walks to the altar, makes his confession, says, "I'm sick and tired of sin. I want it no more." Then we bury it.

L-25 When sin is buried, anything is buried, it's--it's dead first. Then it's buried. It's put away from sight. That's why we bury people, to put them away from the sight, the contamination of their bodies, hide them from us. It's a gloomy thing to see what death does.
And when sin is finished, when sin lost its grips, and it died in the death of Christ at Calvary where He condemned sin, then the sinner who accepts that, justified by faith can scream, "Hallelujah, for God's carried my sins far away. He put them upon my sin Bearer, Jesus Christ." He represented both the animals: both dying and taking the sins away.

L-26 Then as I said a few moments ago, He become... We become... We were goats. He become goat for us. Being... He become sin for us. That's the reason He had to be punished the way He was, because all of our sins were placed upon Him. And there He had to bear them away in His own body to Calvary: a reproach, a disgrace, sinfully hanging there, naked, stripped, bleeding, bleating. When He rolled His precious head around, the bloody locks dripping from His shoulders...
I believe it was Billy Sunday said there was an Angel setting in every tree, saying, "Just pull Your hands loose from the cross and just motion Your finger; we'll change the scene."
The Jews paid Him the greatest compliment could be paid, not knowing what they were doing. They said, "He saved others, Himself He can't save." Sure not. If He saved Himself, He could not save others. But He gave Himself that we might be saved. That's the story.
 Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
 Buried, He carried my sins far away...
They're done; they're finished. God's sea of forgetfulness to be remembered against us no more. Oh, can't we shout, "Hallelujah," to that. Sure, it's all over. Christ did it. Oh, my. Sure we can.
