<TITLE>10. Par 122-131</TITLE>L-122 Now, Christ being the North Star, and the Compass always points that way. And if you are really saved, really, the only way you can be saved is through Christ. And the Holy Spirit, being your Compass, will guide you right straight to the Word. See what I mean? Now, that's wonderful! And the Word and Christ is One. Both of Them are the same, self-same. "In the beginning," Saint John 1, "was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." If He is your North Star, then He becomes your Absolute.

L-123   This a long way getting around, what I want to say. But you'll understand it, maybe, what I'm trying to get to you.

L-124 There must be an absolute in your life. You've got to have it somewhere, and every one of you has got one. You can't go on without one. You've got to have an absolute.

L-125 There was a time that when a--a woman, her--her word about table manners, that was the absolute in America. I think her name was Emily Post, if I'm not mistaken. And whatever she said about table manners, if she said you should eat with your... eat your peas with a--with a knife, that, that was--that was it. That was it. And why? And if she said to eat the chicken, you just picked it up in--in your hands and eat it, no matter how anybody looked at you, you were exactly in line, see, because that was the absolute. She was the absolute of table manners. That's right. Whatever that woman said, that was it.

L-126   There was a time when, Germany, when Adolf Hitler was an absolute in Germany. No matter what anybody said, Hitler was the last word. What Hitler said, it had to be done. That was his way of doing it. And no matter how many of the rest of them thought anything about it, Hitler was the last word. He was the absolute.
There was a time when Mussolini was Rome's absolute.

L-127 There was a time when Pharaoh was the absolute of Egypt. Whatever Pharaoh said, had to be done.

L-128 But, you see, all those was the wrong kind of real absolutes. They failed, every one of them. Standing in Egypt, not long ago, I was thinking about the time that Pharaohs set on their thrones. And, you know, you have to dig down twenty feet in the ground to find where their thrones was. See? Oh, what an absolute that would be! It's perished and gone. And the people that relied upon that kind of an absolute, they are perished with it, and gone on. Why? It was man-made, and anything that's man-made will perish with man.

L-129 But there is an absolute that cannot perish. That's the Eternal Word of God. It can never perish. You must stay with It.

L-130   Now, now, we realize that--that we got an absolute here. We go out here and have a trial. And you get in a trouble out here, and you have a trial here in the city. They can take it up through other courts, and so forth. It might finally come to the Supreme Court. But the Supreme Court's decision is the absolute. That's the end of trials. That's all the farther you can go. That's the last court, is the Supreme Court, and that's an absolute.

L-131 Now, sometimes we don't agree with them, and--and, or don't like their decisions. But, just the same, it's the absolute, because the nation is tied to it, see, what the Supreme Court says. No matter if I said they're wrong; that don't make it wrong. In this nation, they're right. Whatever their decision is, it's right. An absolute, we have to have it. If there wasn't, somewhere, a trial would never end. But there's got to be somewhere that that trial meets its end, and that is in Supreme Court. Anyone knows that. It's finished when it goes through Supreme Court. They make a decision, that settles it. That's all. There's nowhere else you can go 'cause that's their highest court. There's a... Have to have an absolute, have to have an absolute in court.
