<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 I like the expression that our sister in singing said a few moments ago. "This is my sister. I could not sing it this way unless she knew where she was." See, there is a way we know where we're going, because the expressed image of God laid down this plan. And He said, "Whosoever would accept this plan would have Eternal Life." John 5:24 said, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment; but has passed from death unto Life."
The greatest expression of all was Jesus Christ, Who made a way for us. He fulfilled and vindicated all the expressions that these flowers, and botany life, and so forth, and the sun, and the solar system has witnessed before His coming that there was coming a Just One, that would make us firmly believe it, because He would be the expressed image of God. And when He came and did what He did, He proved that these expressions was right. He gave vindication to them. Because as a flower raises again, the tree raises again, the sun raises again, so shall the Christian rise again. It has to, because God in the express image of a human being, or a human being in the express image of God, proved it by His resurrection.

L-15 And in there, when the prophet saw these things take place, Job, when he saw all the botany life, and so forth... Then we who are familiar with the Bible knows that, setting on this heap of ashes in distress, trouble had struck him. His church members had told him that he was a--had secretly sinned.
Many times it's been said that a person dies prematurely, or something, that maybe some sin they did, they did something wrong. Not... That isn't the case to a Christian.
When he saw this great final expression, God making known His plan through Jesus Christ, he cried with a voice... When the lightnings flashed and the thunders roared, he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And at the last days He will stand upon the earth. And though after the skin worms has destroyed my body, yet in my flesh I'll see God: whom I shall see for myself."

L-16 He saw that final expression many hundreds of years ahead. But being a prophet in the vision he saw the coming of God's great expression. He could look down and see the resurrection of the seeds, he could see the resurrection of the trees, and the resurrection of the sun after it had served its time and raised again--served for a day, raised for another day. Flowers for one funeral service die and resurrect for another's funeral service, everything serving its purpose. Then he saw in the distance the coming of that just One and screamed, "I know my Redeemer liveth."
"My flesh shall rest in hope," said David, "because He will not suffer His Holy One to see corruption. Neither will I... He leave His soul in hell." He saw that day, that perfect expression of God, what He was going to do, to make known to man that death is not the end of the road.
This is not the end. This is the beginning. It's the end of sorrow. It's the end of time of decision. But it's the beginning of time of joy and reward. It's not the end of everything. It's just the end of the--of the mortal things, to begin the immortal things. She has gone to her rest. God rest her soul.
Now, he cried this great expression because he seen what was going to happen.
