<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 We place values in the wrong place. See? Sometimes, we look at things... You know, when John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, all the prophets had testified of that time, said, "The high places would be made low, the--the mountains would skip like little rams, and all the leaves would clap their hands, and what a great event." And how did it turn out? The people, the religionists of that day, thought that Christ would come down in a chariot from heaven, and--and with a rod of iron, but when He come, what was to--bringing the baccalaureate message was an old preacher, half-dressed, with a piece of sheepskin wrapped around him, whiskers out on his face like a fuzzy worm, and here come Jesus up, just an ordinary Man, walking up, and was baptized in the water, on an old muddy bank of the Jordan. But see, in the--what man calls great, God calls foolish. What man calls foolish, God calls great. So it's just the human mind that's perverted (You see?), and just opposite to it.

L-10 Now, you that's been taking notes, and then 'fore we read the Scriptures, you can turn to Saint Matthew's gospel, the 17th chapter, and we'll--we'll read. And while we're reading, I would like to say, that tomorrow afternoon, the prayer cards--we're going to try to give out a--just all the prayer cards that we can possibly give out tomorrow afternoon, and try to bring everybody that wants to come through the prayer line, bring them through. We don't--can't get all discernment, but we can, at least lay hands on the people and pray for them. So you come tomorrow afternoon for the service. That'll be our last service in this campaign, and perhaps, the last of these kind of services you'll ever see in your life. The ministry's changing to something that'll be greater. The 17th chapter of Saint Matthew:
After six days Jesus taken Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it's good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make thee... three tabernacles, make here three tabernacles; one for thee... one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise... be not afraid.

L-11 If it so pleases our Lord tonight, to draw from this text a context, I would like to take the subject of those last three words of, "Hear Ye Him." It's a very small text. Someone might say, with a audience of this size, "Preacher, I believe you ought to have more of a text."
Well, maybe that would be so, but if this audience will just take this text, that's all we need. It's not the quantity; it's the quality. It's what it is. It's the Word of God. And if you'll just hear Him, everything will be all right.
