<TITLE>15. Par 69-73</TITLE>L-69 And she looked, and she sees Him. She said, "He needs to be tended to. He needs a service done to Him, and I must do it." So she thought of a... Something struck her mind. Around she turns, and down the street, down the alley, up those little creaky steps again, open the latch on the door, and went in, reached under the bed, and pulled out her little case of her little things that she cared for. She reached down the corner, top of her stocking was there. She pulled it out. She counted about thirty pieces of Roman denarii. So she said, "That's it. I'll do it." And she locks the box back. And she said, "Oh, I can't. I can't do that. He's a prophet. He would know exactly where I got that money and how I got it. I can't do it." She starts to put it back in the box.
But something says, "He needs to be ministered to."
That's it. Hallelujah. No matter what you are, He needs to be ministered to. And she picked up her sock again, and, "I must do it." There was something inside of her. "I must get to Him."

L-70 Down the little creaky steps she went, holding the money in her--her garment. And she went down to the street to where one of these fellows was, you know, if there's no profit by leaving Joseph in the pit. And--and he was going to stay and keep his business open, whether anything did happen, you know, somebody come by. So she goes in. And he raises up, you know, like some of the merchants of the day.
"Well, what do you want?" you know, seeing who she was. "What do you want in here, anyhow?"
"I want the best alabaster box that you got. I want the best one."
Oh, that's what. God expects you to give Him your best, not just a little time on the side, but He wants your best. He must have the best.
And he might've said, "What do you want with this?"
"Oh, it's for a special occasion. I must have it."
"Well, everybody's gone to..."

L-71 And she pours out the money upon top of the counter.
Oh, of course, if there's some money in it, that's all right. He got up; here he come, walked out. He counts it. "Yes, just exactly the right amount of the Roman denarii. That's right." reached up and got the very best alabaster box. And she tucked it in her bosom, and out the door she went.
And up along the side of the fence, she said, "I can't get in here. I--I--I can't squeeze through there. I don't know how I'm going to get to there. But He needs a service done to Him, and I'm going to get there some way." That's it. That's it. "I'm going anyhow. I don't care what anybody says, I've got to get to Him. I must get there."

L-72 She held this box, and that's all the living she had; that's all that she had to her--in this world was that little denarii's box that she'd--that box that she'd bought with her money that she'd earned in a foul way. And it was bad. She hated to approach Him like that. But that's all she had, and that's the only way she could come.
That's the only way you can come. That's the only way I can come. But He expects us to come if He needs to be...?... be ministered to. He's expecting us.

L-73 There He set there. Just looked like He was waiting for her, watching around. I don't know how she got in. I--I can't even imagine how she got in. But she got in. That's the main thing.
I don't know how I got in, but I got there. Amen. That's all I care. I arrived. I got there. That's the main thing. I can't see how He'd ever take something like me in, but He... Somehow, I got there. I arrived one day. I've ever remained there. I never want to leave it. Just let me stay right here.
