<TITLE>09. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 Sometime ago in Canada, my beloved brother and friend, Doctor Ern Baxter... When the late King George and the queen came down the street, we was told that he was suffering terrible with ulcers and cirrhosis in his back. That was before we had prayer for him at London. And he was suffering tremendously that day. But he set up there in that seat of the carriage just as gallant with his lovely queen setting by his side, with her blue evening dress on. As they passed by, and Mr. Baxter said when he looked up on them, said he just shook and cried.
And I said, "Why, Ernie?"
He said, "Our king and our queen was passing by." Said, "It, sure, it made me weep for joy."
I thought, "If the king of England passing by would make a Canadian weep for joy, what will it be when the King of glory comes by?" What an effect it'll be upon the Church of the living God when we see Jesus.

L-30 Sure, if she knocked at your door, you would think it was an honor to entertain the queen. And it would be a great thing for you to do that. But, oh, how many honors would you give for that? How honorable it would be...
But listen, there's Someone comes to the doors. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, knocks on more doors than all the kings and potentates that was in the world. Who's greater and more important than Him? And who's more turned down than He is?
Do you think if Caesar would've been turned down, what would he have done? Why he'd have had that man assassinated and his--and his house burnt, and his wife and his children burned up. Hitler would've poured gasoline upon that soldier and have cremated him.
But Jesus continually comes back and knocks at the door. Turn Him away one night, come back another night. You'd turn Him again; He will come back again.

L-31 And if the queen would come to visit you, or our president, or some great person, no doubt they'd be wanting a favor of you. But Jesus don't want a favor of you. He's trying to bring to you Eternal Life. He's trying to save your soul from a devil's hell and a eternal destruction and separation from the Presence of God. And yet we turn Him down.
And if it would be a humility to the president of the United States to come to your home, yet the King of Glory, the Lord Jesus, comes down to the poorest man in the country, to the bootlegger, to the drunk in the street, to the immoral woman, to the disobedient child; to whosoever that He can come to and knock at his door, Jesus comes and knocks.
No matter how low you are, how little you are, how immoral you are, how indecent you are, how far out of society you've been ousted, yet the Son of the living God loves you and knocks at your door day after day and night. And you turn Him down. That's terrible. It doesn't even sound sane to do such a thing, to turn down the Son of God Who's coming, not to take something from you, but to save you from destruction, and then is turned down. What a pitiful sight. It doesn't seem mentally right to turn Him down. It isn't mentally right to turn Him down. It's a loss of mind to turn down the Son of God when He knocks at your heart's door. And yet, He's turned down and will return back.
