<TITLE>05. Par 41-49</TITLE>L-41   Now we don't know; when I watch the clock, and when it gets time, well, these are... I got many, many Scriptures wrote down here. So not... And knowing that I won't be with you for a while. And how do we know this won't be the last time that some of us will ever meet together, so let's try to approach It just as reverently. I know that it's hard. The Lord has give us a nice morning now, too--too, for the service, just nice. And let's try to concentrate now on everything that--that we speak of, so that the... if there is anything in there that the Lord would want you to know, that it would be given to you.

L-42   And we don't stand here just to be seen. We never come here just so others could see what clothing we were wearing. Or... We, we come here for one thing, as our brother prayed that prayer, "We are here for hear the Word, the Word coming to us." We want That, 'cause that's the only thing that's going to mean anything to us, anything that's going to be substantial, anything that's--that's going to help us.

L-43   And we are a dying people. All human beings are headed towards Eternity. And then we got this much time to make our decisions on which a way we're going to head. And the road is before us; we can take either side we want to choose. That's the way He put Adam and Eve, and that's the way He puts us.

L-44   We must remember, that no matter what we do, or how successful we are, in life, without Christ we've totally lost everything. So if He, after... If He is all that there is to look forward to, then we would be most foolish people not to accept It, be, and--and cherish It. Not only accept It, but you come to something greater than that. After you've got It, don't take It and lay It on the shelf. It's to be put into use.

L-45 Like going to the doctor to get medicine, and then set it upon the shelf. If you go to get the medicine, take the medicine. If there is a disease bothering you, and this remedy is supposed to help you, you take what he gives you; and just the way he says give it, because sometime just a few minutes makes a lot of difference in the way you give it. And how we know...

L-46 But in this case, today, just one moment of your decision might determine your Eternal destination. Take It just as He hands It to you.
A token, "The blood shall be to you a token."

L-47   Now what is, first, a token? It's a word that's commonly used among we English-speaking people, especially here in America. A token is a... Really, the dictionary says that a token is a sign, it's a sign of a fare, price paid, see; that the--the fare, or a price, a required price that's been paid.

L-48 Like a fare on a railroad or a fare on a bus line. You go in and purchase your--your fare, and then they give you a token, and that token cannot be spent for nothing else but to that railroad line. And it is a token, to the railroad company, that you have paid your fare. It's a token, and you can't spend it for nothing else. It doesn't work on any other line. It just works on that line only. And it's a--it's a token.

L-49   Now down here, that we're speaking of, where we're starting in, is God saying to Israel, "The blood of the lamb is a token for you." Israel's lamb, slain, was Jehovah's required token. It must be the blood. God made a token and give it to Israel. And no other token will work, see, it cannot be recognized.
