<TITLE>04. Par 27-33</TITLE>L-27   And you who gave your life to Christ this week, and you don't have a church home, why don't you talk it over with them? They believe this same thing, or they wouldn't be setting up here representing it. See? So now, you--you--you find you a nice one, of these nice churches, tomorrow, and go to it. I'm sure they'll do you good. They'll help you. They'll help you to believe. And if you haven't been baptized, ask them. If you haven't received the Holy Ghost, ask them about it. And they'll help you right on through to Christ, and shepherd you right on down the road until He returns. Now, the Lord bless each one of you.

L-28 And now, you know, the Presbyterians are always raising up and setting down, they say. And I'm not a Presbyterian. But I do believe that when we read the Word we ought to stand, because it's an honor to God, to stand. Just like we salute the flag, or pledge allegiance, or whatmore.

L-29   And now, for tonight, I have chosen some Scripture reading here, out of the Book of Saint Luke, the 7th chapter, beginning with the 36th verse.

L-30 And now, all week long I been working on a--a thought that come to me, on the road coming down here, on, "The unveiling of the mighty God." But when I got through, looking at my Scriptures and things, I had nearly twenty pages. So I'd never get through that, in no hour here. So I thought I'd have to change it tonight, so I have.

L-31   I believe it's will of the Lord that I say these things. Now, in 7th chapter of Saint Luke, and the 36th verse.
... one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and begin to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, (remember, not out loud), within himself, saying, If this man... was a prophet, he would know who and what manner of woman this is that touched him... for she is a sinner.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: and they owed... the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou has rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou givest me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with the hairs of her head.
And thou givest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with oil.
Wherefore I say unto her... I say unto thee, Her sins, which were many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And they that sat at meat with him begin to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

L-32   Let us pray.

L-33 Lord Jesus, this story taken place many years ago. But it's a true story, for it is written in the pages of our Bible, and we know that it's true. And now we would by no means try to portray this again tonight, but we would like for You to help us to bring this as a message tonight to the people, that they might see that--that You're still the same Lord Jesus. And we pray for Your blessings upon us all, as we are needy people. We have need of Thee, Lord.
