<TITLE>25. Par 163-170</TITLE>L-163 You've heard. "Faith cometh by hearing." You have faith, and get away from, to get this off your hands. But he have to face the facts, anyhow. He did, and so do we have to face the facts. He is fully identified. Think, with the Blood of a Man on your hands!

L-164   Man has to watch when he's got another man's blood on his hands. Look at an airplane. A pilot out of a plane, when he runs that plane out, he checks every instrument. Why? He's got the blood of somebody on his hands. Every little instrument that can be checked, he checks it. When he gets out and turns the plane around, he--he--he rev's up the--the--the motor, the engine, and see that it's warmed up. And throw the throttle all the way on it, to see that the blast will--will... if it'll be able to--to--to compel, or throw the propeller, too, with enough air to take it off the ground.
You've stood, many of you, in a plane, or set down there, and the whole plane shake off the ground, nearly. He's giving it all it's got, to see if there is anything out of line. If it will, it'll spit and conk out. But he checks it again, if he has to set there a moment, till he checks it again. And if they hold his time a little, he checks it again.

L-165   How the Church ought to be checking it again, and again, and again, and again! We're waiting for His Coming. We're waking, we're waiting for the takeoff. We better check it with the Word, not what somebody said. Be sure you know, yourself, as a personal experience with Christ. Check it again, and again, and again.
Why? He's got the blood of man upon his hands. He better check.

L-166   How about a doctor, before an operation? We got a couple doctors setting here this morning. Notice, that a doctor, what he'll do before he goes to surgery. He wants a x-ray. He wants to check the blood. He wants to check the heart. He wants to see if you got any cold, before he gives the anesthetic. He checks every instrument; he boils them, thoroughly, to see there is no germs on it. He does everything. He checks over, and over, and over, and over, again. Why? He's got the blood of a man on his hand. He wants to be dead sure that everything is just as right as it can be right.

L-167   What about you? What about you, sinner, what do you feeled about it?
To have the blood of a man on your hand, responsibility like a pilot, and he checks; the doctor, and he checks; and what else more, so many scientific; when you got the blood of a man on your hands, what you'll do!
When a judge is going to pronounce sentence, look how he reads those books, over and over and over and over and over, to every little thing that he can see, before he pronounces sentence. Cause, he's got the blood of a man on his hands, there must be something here to justify that. See?

L-168   How about us, when we see It thoroughly identified, that, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever"? He is here. He's on our hands. He's on our hands. He's on your hands! What are you going to do with Him? "What will I do with this Jesus that's the anointed Christ?"
"What does It do? How you know It's Him?"
The promise of this day, the day that we're living in, there is so much of the Scripture say, so many inches of It is supposed to be fulfilled, these last inches of this last day. There is some things setting here that's supposed to happen, and here it is. What is it? The same anointed Christ, the anointed Word! What are you going to do with It? Are you going to sell It off to the denomination?

L-169   Now what did Pilate do? Pilate tried to wash Him off of his hands, by saying... The first thing Pilate did was try to wash Him off of his hands, by saying, "Oh, He's okay. He's all right." See?

L-170 You say, "Oh, poor Pilate." Pilate, a lot of them justify him? No, no, no! He was on his hands. He had heard the Message, he had seen the Word, and He was on his hands. And so is He on your hands. That's right.
What did he do? He tried to say, "Oh, well, He's a good Man. I find no fault in Him."
