<TITLE>16. Par 60-62</TITLE>L-60 Yes, she pressed her way up to the fence, and she was looking around through there. She was hungry. And she looked, and she was watching. Over here in the corner stood Pharisee. She could hear that great big "Ho-ho-ho," over in the corner. Looked over and here he was tipping the goblets with that fine fancy wine, and the lamb being roasted, and dinner almost ready to be served. And--and looking around like that...
And after while her eyes caught somebody (Oh, may we all catch that picture now.), setting over in the corner, unnoticed. And she must've caught His eye. Nobody can ever look Him in the eye and ever feel the same again. She saw Him. And she thought, "Who is that? There's something different about Him." And there is. There never was nobody like Him. There can never be nobody like Him. He was different from others. And there He was setting. She looked down, and people turn away from Him. And they--she noticed His feet was unwashed; His face was still parched and burning.
If we could only see that today (And you know what I'm talking about.), see Him setting in disgrace, like His people does today to the world. They don't want no association with them. They're the same as... You say, "Pentecost," brother, they're gone. You say, "Holy Ghost," oh, my. They're away from it.

L-61 What we people need to do is to wash His feet, anoint Him, that we might rise in the power of His resurrection. Take that disgrace off of Him. Amen. Make the world ashamed of themselves, with the power of His Life in us, as different creatures, not like them out there; that's cannon fodder. That's nothing but atomic ashes. The church is a borned again creature.
Here He was setting. In that kind of a crowd that's the way He looked. And that's the way a genuine Spirit-filled man or woman looks in the sight of such a crowd. Notice, she looked at Him. She thought, "You know Who that is? Somebody here... Is that that prophet of Galilee?" Oh, that's Him."
Oh, her heart begin to pound. Something when you find Jesus, your heart goes to acting funny. It's going to get a new Master right away. Heart went to pounding. "Oh, that's the--the One that was down there at the well where that woman of Sychar was. That's the One that found the woman as immoral as I, and told her that she had too many husbands, and forgave her of her sins. Oh, He'd never forgive me. I'm too wretched. But it's not right that Him setting there like that. He's the God of eternity. He's the only Saviour. It's not right for Him to be treated like that." And she got an idea. I hope you get one.

L-62 Down the street she goes just as hard as she can, down to the little alley, up the alley to the little creaking steps. Creakety, creakety, up she goes, pull the little squeaking door open, after she takes the lock off, goes in, falls down on the floor. She thinks, "I'm on my knees." She reaches under the bed, pulls out a little box, and unlocks it, in a little piece of her stocking, perhaps. She takes it out; she shakes it. There's all her living. That's all she's got. But she's ready to give it.
I wonder if we're that sincere. Don't point your finger to her if you're not. All she had, she was willing to give it. And she pulls it up to her bosom, and she--her heart's full of joy. All of a sudden, something's presented to her, "You know, He's a prophet. I believe He's a prophet. I don't care what rabbi says, what the cardinal or bishop says. I believe that He is the One that Moses spoke of. I believe that He's the prophet that was to visit us in these days. And Him being that, He will know where I got this money. He will know the--the means that I did to get this money. But it's all I got."
