<TITLE>10. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 The disciples seen that all hopes was gone. We're just about at that place today. All of our great, fine, million dollar, UN's and UN's of churches, and million dollar church buildings, and so forth like that, one little atomic bomb will sweep the whole thing away. That's right. "But oh, come buy from Me," said Jesus, "oil, wine, gold tried in the fire." When the world's all on fire, I want something that'll stand then. I want something: Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee. Let me hide in Thee.
Charles Wesley, I believe, when he was walking along, and a storm coming up, and a little bird flew into his bosom. He was trying to get inspiration for a song. And he took it in his little cabin, and held it until the storms was passed. When he went out, held it on his finger, and it flew away then he wrote that song. "Hide Me In The Rock Of Ages."

L-27 Now, then when he saw--they saw that, Satan begin to blow his poison breath. And he begin to upset them. The little ship was just about gone.
And I wonder tonight in our little bark as we're sailing over life's solemn main, if maybe, Satan has upset your voyage, put a cancer on you, give you a love of the world (You've gone away from God.), upset you somewhere. Trouble's come in; all hopes of ever living is gone. But you know, as it was then, so is it now. Jesus hadn't gone too far. I believe He climbed the highest hill there was in the country, so He... Higher you go the farther you can see. He climbed up to the top of the hill, so He could watch them. All the time the trouble was coming on, He was setting up there watching them.

L-28 And I tell you--when He--they killed Him in the city of Jerusalem and buried Him in a borrowed tomb, but on Easter morning when He come forth, He started climbing. He climbed on beyond the moon and the stars until He set down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. "And His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me," said the poet.
And I see this day approaching when the prophet said, "There'd come a day in these last days, that it wouldn't be night nor day, just dismal." But he said, "It shall be light in the evening time."
Now, the lights--the sun rises in the east. It sets in the west, the s-u-n. And the S-o-n also came in the east on the Eastern people, shined out a pentecostal revival. Signs and wonders of His resurrection appeared among them. The works that He did, they did also. He told them in Saint John 14:7, I believe it is, He said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also. A little while, and the world won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me ('Ye,' the church, the believer.). Ye shall see Me."
He promised that He'd be with them always even to the end of the world. "I'll never leave you or forsake you. Go ye in all the world and preach the Gospel." How far? "All the world." How--who to? "Every creature. These signs shall follow them that believe." He's still the same Christ.
