<TITLE>15. Par 74-78</TITLE>L-74 I read a little article in the paper the other day, where an old man... He was both deaf, dumb, and blind, and he went to Sunday school every Sunday. And they asked him by braille and said, "Why do you go to church? You can't hear what the preacher says. You can't hear none of the songs. Why do you go to church?"
And he said, "I just want to let everybody know what side I'm on." Just want to let the devil and everybody else know what side he was on, I think that's good. Yes, sir.

L-75 What else did Jesus do? He gave and forsook His own Life. He gave His Life to save yours and mine. Because that He--that He gave His life... He didn't have to lay it down. He done it willingly. He didn't have to do it, but He done it willingly, because He could save you. And now He's the only one that can save you.
There's nothing else can save you. I know there's a denomination that says that their church saves you. You're saved by the church. You're saved by Jesus Christ or you're lost. Yes, sir. Nothing you can do, not one thing you can do, only repent of your sins. Jesus Christ is the Saviour. Yes, sir. He gave--He gave His life for you. Now, I think that today, while we're closing, we might say this: that it behooves us then, that we would give our life, and our all, and forsake everything that's worldly, everything that's ungodly, all of our unbelief, and everything, to get to follow Him like those disciples did. Wouldn't you like to do that, follow Him?

L-76 What for? To see His great signs of His coming. Now, remember. The Bible promises that in this last days, just at the close of time, it'll be another Christian light come forth--the former and latter rain will come together. The prophet said it will be Light in the evening time.
There'll be a day that can't call day or night. What kind of a day is that? Kind of a rainy, hazy, dismal day. There's... The sun's a-shining, sure, way and above the mists and clouds there's a sun shining. And through that, all that mist, yet it gives light, so you can walk, see how to get around. That's what we've had for years and years, for two thousand years. See? We've walked by faith, and we've thought, "Well, that's all right. Uh-huh. We believe, and we join church, and put our name on the book. And that's all right. We believe. We don't see these things like He did back in them days, way back there. They said all that's gone. It's back..." And it's been that way for--for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, just a dismal day.

L-77 But He said, "In the evening time it shall be Light." Now, the same sun that rises in the east is the same sun that sets in the west. The same Jesus that poured out His Spirit in the east upon those people is the same Jesus that's in this last days poured out His Spirit upon the western people. He promised it. He made a promise.
He said, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man," how that the... God manifested Himself in a human body, sat with--there and eat with Abraham with His back turned to the tent, and told Sarah what she was thinking in the tent: told Abraham what his name was, and what Sarah's name was, and how that He was going to visit them. And Sarah didn't believe it, and laughed in the tent, and the Angel said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" in the tent behind the Man.

L-78 Jesus said, "As it was in that day, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man." As I've often said, said last night, I want to quote it again: There's always three classes of people all the time, like Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people, the three sons of Noah. All the way down, there's--there's three classes of people. Now, we class them as this: unbeliever, make-believer, and believer. Now, that's the way it--how it tallies up. It did the same thing there. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be to this..."
