<TITLE>12. Par 110-118</TITLE>L-110 And then getting an attorney that was a good, shrewd attorney, you would feel that your case was a little... you could relax a little bit, because you had an attorney. But still there would be a question whether this attorney could change the judge's idea, or change the jury; if this attorney, with his shrewd speaking and the knowing of the laws, could change that, and could plead your case and prove that--that you should live. But yet, in all of his--his great authority and the great speech that he could make, and the impression he could put upon the jury or have with the judge, you--you'd--you'd... Maybe you might get a relaxed for a few minutes, but still there would be a question in your mind, "Can he do it?"

L-111   But in this case, the Judge Himself becomes our Attorney. God became man. There was no attorney could do it. We couldn't find one. Moses, and the Law, the prophets, nothing could do it. So the Judge become both Jury, Attorney, and Judge, Himself; and took the justice of His Law in His Own hands, and paid the price of it, Himself. How much more secure could we be? And sent His Own Life back upon us, as a witness that He has accepted it. How safely!

L-112 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I'll fear no evil, for Thou art with me."

L-113   When He becomes both Judge, Jury, and--and Attorney, He pleaded our case. We, found guilty by His Own Law; and He come and took the guilty person's place, that was in the sanctuary. He took his sin. He took it upon Himself, and died, and paid the price, and shed His Blood, and give back His Own Token, His Own Life.

L-114 Why, we are perfectly. The case is dismissed. There is no more sin to the believer. O God, have mercy, if the people can't see that, that there is no more case. "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life, and shall not come to the Judgment, but has passed from death unto Life." There is the case. Case dismissed! No more case to it. Amen! Then safely, safely with the Token applied, when death begins to smite against the door out there, it has no control. See? Yes.

L-115   The Token is applied. Only the Token is recognized now. See, He did that so that the Token could come. The Token was God's Life.

L-116 And when God made the first man, He made Him a son. And the son was so corrupt that he listened to his wife instead of God, and the woman listened to the devil instead of her husband, and, when it did, it so corrupted them together, that it brought a pollution. And He knew, that when they did that, they'd have to bring children into the world. The fruit in the midst of the tree could not be touched, and, then, when it was, they brought this sin upon themselves. And therefore the whole human race, that was born, was in sin. There, no way to come out.

L-117   And then God came down. There's only one way to get him back; that's to get Him back a son again. And how can He do it, when His Own Law stood there and said he's "condemned"? Then the Father Himself become one of us. That's the real Lamb. That's His purpose He had in mind.

L-118 That's the reason the Lamb was so identified in the Garden of Eden, knowing that the Lamb and Dove would meet at one time, when the Lamb and Dove would be together. That's when He knowed, through that, we can all be together. And He was willing to make such a sacrifice, now, that the Token could be applied, that we are no more aliens, we are no more strangers, but we're sons and daughters of God. Both Adam and Eve, the woman and the man, joined together, are sons and daughters of God, in Christ Jesus, by His great sacrifice.
