<TITLE>22. Par -</TITLE>L-774-140 They're always trying to throw a crow-bait out there and say, "This is the example, here's what did it. Oh, I know of a certain preacher that was a holiness preacher and he did this, that, or the other." But they don't point out others that wasn't a holiness did that also. You see? And they don't point the great things that God did.
Like somebody'd say, "Oh, here this man went too far. He--he went too far." He might've done that. "He wrecked hisself up; he went too far; he become a fanatic." He might've done that. But while they're pointing to how many that, one that went too far, how about these millions that never went far enough? They failed to see that. See what I mean?

L-774-142 So, the people tried, them Pharisees, and Sadducees, and hypocrites, and Herodians, and all tried to cast a shadow on Jesus; but them true believers, that was predestinated to hear that Message, heard It and seen no fault in It at all.
Same now, those who believe Him love Him, those who believe Him see no fault in Him. They don't see any heresy; they don't see anything wrong; they don't see anything wrong with His Word; they don't see anything wrong with His people; they just see Jesus and that's all. They're--they're--they're predestinated to Eternal Life, so they just take sides with Jesus and stay there.
We used to sing a little song, Brother Roy Roberson and... We used to sing a little song here, I guess time you come here,
I'd take the way with the Lord's despised few;
I've started in with Jesus and I'm going through.
I'd rather walk with Jesus alone,
And have for my pillow like Jacob, a stone,

L-775-145 Well, you've heard the little song. That's right. I'd rather take the way of the discord, take the way of the despised, take the way of the talked about, and walk with Jesus. See no fault in it at all. Don't see another fellow's error, just keep on going. That's all.
Now, that's the way they did to Jesus. They didn't--they didn't... And you must teach your people, you pastors, to do the same. If somebody comes along and says, "Ah, you know, your church, they was so-and-so. They ain't..."
Yes, sir, there may be a dozen of them setting there then, but how about that one that's--it's--that's all right that's setting there? See? You're--you're--you're--you just can't see the woods for the trees; that's all. That--that's it right back again. See now?

L-775-148 And so, they tried. They was not willing to admit that He was doing the work of God, so they were trying to sow discord and get the people not to believe, but them people who believed Him stayed right with Him; they took sides.
You know, I thought here, a couple of people I got wrote down here. The blind man would not be changed by them, that man He'd just give his sight; we know the story. And He gave them a very stinging question besides.
Now, they come up there, and Jesus walked by, and He was a man that was despised and hated. The Bible said He would be rejected, there'd be no beauty of Him we should desire Him. And all we like sheep have gone astray. He was a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief. And how all the Bible said what He would be. He'd be despised and rejected. And we see that man.
