<TITLE>14. Par 51-54</TITLE>L-51 Now, when God got ready to try out his toxin, did you notice? He never put it in a guinea pig. He put it in Himself. Any good doctor tries out his own medicine on himself first. Now, God took it upon Himself. When God was made flesh and dwelt among us--and the Life of Christ Jesus being His Son, and God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself--He took the toxin upon Himself.
When He was baptized by John on the river of Jordan, John bare record seeing the Spirit of God like a dove coming from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." It went into Him. The disciples, and all, watched Him to see what He would do. They watched his life, to see how He would act, to see what would take place.

L-52 We find Him like there when He was under temptation, the toxin held. When He was in the--when He was in the garden of Gethsemane, toxin held. When He was spit on in His face, toxin held. When they nailed Him to the cross, the toxin held. It was good. They found out it was good. They seen it would keep Him. When he died at the cross and they buried Him in the ground...
On the third morning, now what's going to take place? There He is. He's dead. He's buried, hid beneath the big rock, where a century of men rolled it up on... rolled the stone over to hold Him down. Now, what's going to happen? A guard stood at the door, a hundred men watching Him. What's going to take place?
He prophesied through the Word of God, and said that on the third day He'd rise up again. They made the guard sure. Now what about the toxin? That Easter morning, about day break, there come an angel down from heaven, rolled away the stone, and the toxin held in the time of death. The toxin held, because it was God's Word, God's promise, that it was the toxin that He had give, the balm in Gilead. Sure.

L-53 Now we find out when He rose up on Easter morning, He appeared to many of them, began to show that after the resurrection the toxin was still the same. It did the same works it did before He died. It still held.
There become one hundred and twenty people interested in getting inoculated. I wish all the world would become interested tonight in becoming inoculated, because they see it held in the time of temptation. It kept Him from sinning. It held Him in temptation. When He was riled upon, He riled not back. It held Him in death. And when He died and went in the grave, it held in the resurrection, and come forth again. I like that toxin, don't you? I think that's a good cure...?...

L-54 Hundred and twenty wanted to be inoculated, so they asked Him, "What can we do?"
Said, "Just stop preaching now. Lay down your credentials, and things. I want you to go up there in the city of Jerusalem, and I'm going to inoculate the whole bunch of you. Keep you away from it."
Oh my! They went up there, and waited a long time--it was about ten days they was all up there, getting all the religions out of them that they... get all the differences and everything. And finally "there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Cloven tongues sat upon them like fire, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost; and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
