<TITLE>02. Par 9-15</TITLE>L-9   And I've sit there many times, I thought, "That's the way it'll be at the Judgment." He'll never look at our brand, whether we're Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, or whatever we are, or Pentecostal; but He'll watch for the Blood tag, the Token. That's what'll take us in, because nothing can come into Glory without it's under the Blood. A Blood tag, that we have accepted what God did for us, in Christ. See, there is--there is nothing that we can do for ourselves, we're a total failure. No way at all. When man sinned, he crossed the chasm between him and God, and left. There is no way back, at all. But God, rich in mercy, accepted a Substitute. And that Substitute today, for us, is Jesus Christ. Only that alone will God recognize, the Blood of His Son, when it comes to that time.

L-10   Now we're having a great time over to the Life Tabernacle. We had a glorious time last evening, to see the Holy Spirit move among us. And we're all looking for that.

L-11 Every man is looking to see where he come from, and what's he doing here, and where is he going after this. And we've had many fine books written. I've just read some fine books, in my life, of man's philosophy and things. But, although as good as them books may be, there is only one Book that can tell you where you come from, what you are, and where you're going, and that's this Book, the Bible. And the Word is God. Now, we believe in that Book, and that's what we want to stand for, in this day. And it promises in there that we would be--we would be made known who we are, where we come from, and where we're going.

L-12   I was reading an article not long ago, in the Anderson movement of the Church of God, a historian writing. I believe it was in... I don't remember exactly now what age it was. It was several hundred years after the death of Christ; a--a missionary come to England, which was then called Angel-land. And he was trying to convert the king of England, to Christianity. And they were sitting by a large fireplace, the lights of the fire was lighting up the--the patio, as we would call it today. And the saint was trying to convert the king to Christianity. And a little sparrow flew into the light, circled around through the light, and went out into the darkness again.

L-13 And I believe that all happenings are to the glory of God. I believe that He promised us that He would make everything work together for good to them that loved Him.

L-14   And the saint asked the question, "Where did he come from, and where did he go to?" He come from the unknown, and returned back in the same way. And the saint said, "This Bible holds the question like that, for us, where we come in from the unknown and go back to the unknown." And the next morning, the king, after studying about it through the night, that the man was right, he and his household was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins, the next morning. Which, is about three or four hundred years, or more, after the death of the last apostle.

L-15   Now, I think this happening this morning, of us coming together, is just not merely to come here to eat breakfast, though we--we appreciate that. I didn't come because... I was tired, and I didn't get up just at the time. I was too late. But I think this happening is for the glory of God, and for the Kingdom of God.
