<TITLE>09. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Then they put on this robe. Then they come in and they were welcomed in the place. They could come in and get the wedding supper. Jesus said then, that in this place, He found one man setting there, who didn't have on the robe. How did he get in? That was the question. There was one who did not have on the robe.
Now remember, He said several places this would happen. Now, they come in... He spoke one time of the rain falling on the just and the unjust. He spoke of, one time, of the--of the wheat in the field and the--the tares; they both grow together. "And many will come to Me in that day and set down in the Kingdom with the children. And the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out (See?), because that they--they said, 'Lord, we have did this in Your Name, and we've done that in Your Name.'" He said, "I never knew you. Depart from Me you workers of iniquity." That's the same person that He found there without the robe on.

L-38 Now, sometimes we refer to people, like myself, going forth and--and praying for the sick, and having a success. That don't mean I go to heaven. See? The person that really gets there, was a little surprised when he got there.
Many in that day, they'll say, "When was You naked, Lord, and we clothed Thee? When was You hungry and we fed You? When were You in prison and we visit You?" He said, "Insomuch as you have done unto these, my Brethren, you've did it unto Me." They--they didn't even think they was worthy to get there.
And when we think we're some kind of a big shot, how are we ever going to have a spirit to get there? Sometimes I wonder about the robe them folks are in...?... When we take that attitude, that we're bigger than somebody else, better than somebody else, "We're a larger number; our denomination's bigger," or something, how we ever going to make it like that, when the Robe was to make them all look alike? And in the sight of God we all look alike. Certainly.
We're sinners saved by grace. We must recognize that, from the richest to the poorest, from the best dressed to the worst dressed. As the outside dressing has nothing to do with it, it'll perish. But the inside is what lasts. I'd rather have my spirit covered with the robe of His holiness, than to have the best suits that could be bought in all the world. Sure. Rich in the Kingdom of God.

L-39 So this one man was setting there, got his place and sit down at the table, sitting there. And the King come in and He found him setting there. Now remember, He never just said, "Now, I never did know that you were coming," or something. Or, he said, "Friend..." He didn't rebuke him because he come. He didn't say, "Now, you should have never come." No, that wasn't it. He said, what should taken place, "What are you doing here without a robe on?" There's the next thing.
Now, folks, to pass your tract's all right. To speak to a man about God's all right. But don't leave him there; just keep right after him until you see him at the altar robed in God's righteousness, in the righteousness of the Holy Ghost, until he's filled with the Spirit. When anyone comes into your church here, an evangelist holds a meeting, and maybe he's the one's giving out the invitations, and giving the invitations to friends of Christ, the evangelist giving out invitations. But when one comes, don't you let him stop there, you take him right on in the Presence of God till He robes him.
