<TITLE>06. Par 50-57</TITLE>L-50   To the world, It's a bunch of foolishness. But, to God, It's the only way. The only thing that He requires is that Token. It must be there. And you cannot have the Token until the fare is paid, then you are a possessor of the Token which gives you the--the privilege of a free pass. "I'll see the Blood, I'll pass over you." What a time, that, what a privilege, to know that you pack, within you, the Pass. "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you." It's the only thing that He'll recognize. It's nothing else that can take Its place; no substitute, no denomination, no nothing else. It takes That. God said, "That alone will I see."

L-51 No matter how righteous they was, how good they was, how much education they had, how they dressed, the token was the only thing. "When I see the token, I'll pass over you." The blood was a token that the--the requirement of Jehovah had been met, that it had been done. The blood stood for the token. The blood was the token. See? The life that...

L-52   God had said that, "The day you eat thereof, that day you die." And there had been a substitutionary life taken for the life of the believer. God, in mercy, accepted a substitute for the life of the defiled person. When His child had defiled himself with sin, of disbelieving the Word, then God, rich in mercy, made a substitute; and, that was, something had to die in its place. Nothing else could work.

L-53   That's why Cain's apples and peaches, and so forth, didn't work. It had to be a life that had blood in it, and the life was gone from the sacrifice, and now the blood was a token that God's order had been carried out. Now, what did God require? The life; and the blood showed that there had to be a life gone. So the blood was the token that the life had been given, that something had died, God's requirement; that a life had been given, and the blood had been shed. And the blood stood for the token, that the life was gone. The life of the animal that God had spoke should be taken, was the blood stood for the token. See?

L-54   The--the--the believing worshiper was identified with his sacrifice, by the token. I don't wish to stay too long on these little quotations, but, which you could take the entire service on one of them, but I want to stop here a moment to express that. The--the--the believer had to be identified with his sacrifice. See? If it's just a sacrifice and--and made somewhere out there, he had give it; but he had to be identified in it. Frankly, he had to place his hands on it, first, to identify himself with his sacrifice. And then the blood was placed to where he could stand under the blood. The blood must be over him. And that was a token that he had identified himself, guilty, and had proven that an innocent substitute had taken his place.

L-55   What a beautiful picture! Oh, a redeemed! See, justice had been met, and the requirement of God's holy justice had been met. And God said, "Now I'll require your life," and then, when the--the--the life had sinned. Then an innocent substitute took its place. And it was a blood beast; not apple, peach. That ought to absolutely make the serpent's seed so plain to everybody, that it was blood. And this blood, which could not come out of fruit, come out of an innocent substitute. And the life had gone out, too--too, in his place, and the blood was a symbol that the beast had died and the blood was gone out.

L-56   And the worshiper applying the blood over himself, showed that he was identified in the redemption, because he has identified himself with the... at the sacrifice, connected himself to the sacrifice, and the blood stood for the token.

L-57 How--how wonderful! What a picture it is! It's a perfect type of Christ, just exactly, the believer today standing under the shed Blood, identified with the Sacrifice. Just as perfect as--as it can be! And how that Christ, not--not being an animal... You see, the--the animal died, but it was...
