<TITLE>09. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 And there, when (no doubt) that Michael might've stepped up and Gabriel. And when the message came into heaven, "Your children is lost; they have sinned and gone away," God didn't take Gabriel, and say, "Go down and hunt My children," He came Himself! It was a man-sized job, a God-sized job.
That's the reason I believe that in this day when we're living, when they try to make Jesus just a prophet, He was more than a prophet; He was God manifested in the flesh, the Divine Son of the living God. He was more than just a seer or a good man; He was God manifested in the flesh. God came down to redeem man Himself, just like He did in the garden of Eden. Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord. That's love. God so loved the world, made Himself a body to dwell in, and tabernacle here with us to save us.

L-25 No wonder people has gone insane trying to explain the love of God. That last verse (I believe it is) of that famous, precious song of "Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!"
 And if we with ink the ocean fill,
 And were the skies of parchment made;
 Every ought--stalk on earth a quill,
 And every man a scribe by trade;
 To write the love of God above
 Would drain the ocean dry;
 Or could the scroll contain the whole,
 Though stretched from sky to sky.
That last verse was found penned on the wall of an insane institution. No mind could ever fathom the love that God has for His people. When His son was lost, He wanted to hunt him Himself! A mother will dive through a fire to get her baby when it's in danger. A dad would jump from a fifty story building to cry--try to grab his baby, anything: give his life. That's what God thinks about His people, His church, His children, when they're lost. "Let us reason together, saith the Lord."

L-26 When God knew that--that shocking state of emergency... I suppose the first ever came to heaven, was when He heard that His children was lost. And He came frantically; up-and-down through the garden He went, looking under every bush.
"Adam! Oh, My son Adam, where art thou?"
There stood Adam and Eve with their fig leaves sewed together, behind a bush. Father going back and forth, screaming, "Where are you? Where are you?"... That same God goes up-and-down the aisles night after night, screaming the same thing. "Where art thou? Where art thou?" And He finds Adam and Eve the same way, with some sort of a creed that they have, or denomination they're--they are depending on to save them, hiding yet behind some man-made theology, when God made a preparation for you when He gave His Son to die in your stead. You must--got to be borned again. Creeds won't work; that conference is held at some society. But God's conference is held in Eden to take care of your sins. And there was one held at Calvary (that we'll get to later) to take care of your sins, and the sin problem, your sickness and all that will ever happen to you, the... It's already been studied out; preparations have been made. Just the only thing we have to do is come to God, and reason it out, and say, "Lord, I--I didn't mean to do it." Provision's already made for it.
