<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 But as long as there's any hopes for it not to rot, new Life won't come. That's why we get up from the altar so many times without the Holy Spirit, because we don't rot enough to our own ideas. We got to meet God on His level. I like to meet Him there, because that He never has failed me.
The new birth is no different from any other birth; it's a mess. You ought to seen what mess I was in when I got It. And every once in a while when It comes upon me again, I get messy again with It. I cry, and boo-hoo, and carry on till I guess I don't look very good to look at, but it... I got something on the inside of me that's taking me on and on and on and on and on. It's new Life. I don't care what It looks like; I want to know what It is. That's the main thing.

L-31 Now, there was a time when there wasn't any toxin for smallpox. There was a time when the Salk vaccine for the children in polio, they didn't have that. But they got it now. They've got it.
There was a time when there wasn't a cure for sin. There was a time when the--under a law of death, God caused cattle to die, and sheep to die. And under that, an atonement was made for sin, but it only covered sin. It didn't do away with it. So man had an excuse. He could go back and his heart wasn't changed. Each year, he would come and offer a lamb for cleansing and for his sin.
But now, there's no excuse. There is plenty of Toxin in the house of God. And It's for a sin cure.
Be for sin a double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
There is Toxin in the house of God.

L-32 Now, when doctors investigate medicine for their patients, it's tried by a guinea pig. But when God wanted to give the test for the human race, He never inoculated a guinea pig, but He inoculated His Son. The Lord Jesus took the Toxin of God's Holy Spirit.
And His action on earth proves what It was. When they spit on Him, He prayed for their forgiveness. When He was riled upon, He riled not back. It showed that the Toxin held. When they killed Him, and He died on the cross bleeding and bleating, He was praying for their forgiveness. The Toxin kept good. Then finally a Roman spear embalmed His body by smashing into His heart and blood and water poured out. They said, "Now It's gone. He's give up the Spirit."
The earth shook. He died until the sun would quit shining. He died until the stars refused to shine. He died until the earth was so black you could feel it. He died and went to the lowest regions of hell bearing our sins. You could not go deeper in hell than He went. You could not suffer harder than He suffered. You could not die deader than He died.

L-33 But brother, on that first Easter morning, the Toxin went to work. It broke the seals of death. It smashed the devil in the face. It rolled back the stone, and the Son of God lived again. He's alive for ever more. The Toxin worked.
God put It on His own Son to prove it, that It would work. God was made flesh and dwelled among us. That's how God was in Christ. God come and took this Toxin Himself in a human body that He created Himself, the Son of God. And He lived in that, and He took the Toxin. But on Easter morning, It proved that It held.
Then He had some people that was ready for It. When they put the finger... Some of them so doubtful of the medicine, they were setting on the steps until they touched His side. There was some more done turned back to backslide on the road to Emmaus, but they seen Him do something like He did before His crucifixion. They knowed the Toxin was working.
