<TITLE>03. Par 20-32</TITLE>L-20   Now, nowadays, if I get a spot on my shirt, my lovely wife, she just goes and gets some of this here, I think she calls it Clorox bleach. Puts it in there and it's all gone.

L-21 Let's think of just a--a little drop of ink, one little drop of black ink. Now, that ink was manufactured for some reason.

L-22 And it's a color. And there's only really one color; all the rest of them is off of it; and that color is white. But now, this color, I do not know the chemicals of this, but let's say this, that it had to have begin from a creation, because that's what it is. It had to be made by a Creator. A Creator has to create a creation.

L-23 And this little drop of ink, now, it's come down, say, for instance, it's for a purpose. Now that little drop of ink can write John 3:16 and pardon my sins. Or, that little drop of ink can sign my death warrant, to send me to the--to the gallows. It's for a purpose.

L-24   But perhaps if that little drop of ink, now, with all of its coloring in it, drops into a tub of bleach, what happened to the color? Now just think, what happened to it? You'll never find it again. The water that was in the ink, the--the formula of H2O, is still it's in the bleach. Its water turns to its what? But let's say if the color started out at the beginning, it goes back, maybe, into like a mist, or a gas.

L-25 And that gas, now, this is not the formula, there happen to be somebody here that understands this. I'm just saying it for so that you'll know what I'm talking about.

L-26 Say there was, it went back to atoms, or molecules, and molecules turned back to atoms. And say molecule four-six-nine plus six-nine-seven made black. If it been six-nine-six, it would have come out pink, and so forth, and on back to atoms. Something had to determine it in the beginning, what it was going to be.

L-27 But when it once drops in this bleach here, it goes all the way back through every molecule, every atom, back to its Creator.

L-28   Well, that's like our black sins. Once confessed in the Blood of Jesus Christ, it's forgotten. There's no more sin, at all. You are free from sin, and there's no sin about it. It's not because you--you deserve it, but because the grace of God, that you are. When man sinned, he crossed a great chasm between he and God, and, left, there's no way back. But, God was full of mercy, He--He took a substitute. And a lamb was that substitute until the fullness of time come, when He, God, made flesh, to take away sin. And now there's not even a chasm there, between. A man and God become Father and son. There's no sin, at all. He puts them in the sea of the bleach of forgetfulness, and cannot even remember them no more.

L-29 Now, we can't do that. We're human. We can forgive, but cannot forget. But God is infinite, and He's so great that He can absolutely forgot you even did it. Think of it. You never did even sin. And there puts a man again in the Presence of God as his Father, and you're His child. We are sons and daughters of God now, not will be, now we are the sons and daughters of God. Oh, my! That make Methodists feel like shouting. Doesn't it?

L-30 Now, we are very happy to know that we have this great, great bleach that Jesus Christ brought to us, His Own Blood. We're going to speak a little about Him now, giving you a chance to get kind of quietened.

L-31   And now let's turn in the Scriptures if you will, to Saint John, the 14th chapter of Saint John. I want to read just a couple of verses, the 7th and 8th verse, Jesus speaking.
If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it will sufficeth us.

L-32   I--I'm going to take the subject of: Show Us The Father. I--I want to speak of it.
