<TITLE>11. Par 61-67</TITLE>L-61   Before you have the wreck, you have to run the red light. Before you have the wreck, you have to, down there in the road, you have the--the warnings that's been put up. But, you, you got your own way about it, man has today. And he knows more than anybody else, and he won't listen to the--the signs and warnings of the oncoming Judgment, and those who reject Christ.

L-62   Now notice, and what they had accepted in the stead of this Christ. Now think of the church of that day, the blindness of them. They had rejected a public murderer, Barabbas. A man who had been proven to be a murderer, and was really waiting his judgment. And he--he been proven to--to be a murderer, and was a bad man. And just because that--that the Life of Jesus...
Which, He, He challenged them. He said, "Which one of you can accuse Me of sin?" Sin is "unbelief." "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not; if I haven't told you the Truth of the Scripture. And the Scripture has spoke for Me, Itself. Search the Scriptures," He said, "for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are the Ones that testify of Me in this age."

L-63   But they said, "He makes Himself God. He makes Himself something." He made nothing... God made Him God; He was God. He was the fulfilling of the Scripture. He never made Hisself anything. God made Him what He was. And, then, it's because it was the hour for that Word to be fulfilled. So, but they couldn't see It, because It was against their denominational ideas, what they had built up about the Christ. And it was too blinded from the Word.

L-64   Now, and besides that, to get rid of this Fellow, they had to accept a murderer, a public menace, too. It was an indebtedment to society, indebtedment to them; a murderer! Had to accept that, because, to--to reject Christ.
And before any man or woman can accept wrong, they have to reject right. There is something about nature, got a law to it, that you have to reject the right thing before you can receive the wrong thing.
As I have just quoted, to--to keep from telling a lie... You--you told a lie against your better judgment. You told a lie against your conscience. You told a lie against what your mother or parents taught you to do. Or, even nature itself teaches you shouldn't do it. So, therefore, you, to reject Truth, you have to accept a--a--a lie, and you have to reject Truth before you can accept the lie. See?

L-65   So that's the way these fellows had done, they had rejected the Truth. And He was the Truth. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and manifested before us." In First Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in the flesh, handled with our hands." God, Jehovah! It's--it's astounding, it's startling, to think that the God Who put the--the--the solar system into space, that made stars that's a thousand times bigger than this world...

L-66 And if one of those stars would start to the earth, at ten thousand miles an hour, why, it would take it a hundred million years to get here; it's so far away. And two little stars setting, look like a inch apart, from here, they're further apart than we are from them. And, yet, there is not one of them but what holds its place. And that great galaxy, oh, my, the massness and the vastness of God Who could make those things! Each one has to hold the other one. That's the reason it stays the way it is. If they got out of cater, the whole system would fall.

L-67 That's what happened in Eden. When Eve got out of cater with the commandments of God, the whole race fell.
That's what's the trouble today. We shouldn't be broke up in organizations and denominations, and so forth. We should be sons and daughters of God, holding the great galaxy of the world together.
