<TITLE>32. Par 262-273</TITLE>L-262 But when Jesus comes someday, the Great Shepherd of the sheep from Pentecost through Luther through all the ages, that has accepted the Light as It come through the carriers (not accepted the carrier, accepted the Light; see, went out), He'll come to redeem. I'm so glad that I know He's coming again. Oh, would you be numbered with His group? Would you be numbered? There's only one way to do it, not by joining a church, but by being borned into Him. "And all the Father has given Me, will come to Me, and no man can come except My Father calls him." See, that's all there is to it, accept It. He... That's the only Christmas gift that I know of, is the gift of God that He gave to the world, His only begotten Son. And He's the same, yesterday, today, and forever, the Word. See? Believe Him in this day, the fulness of the Bible.

L-263   When those seven mysteries... Back through those Seven Church Ages, there were seven hidden mysteries. I'm writing a book of It. And a great theologian said to me not long ago, said, "Brother Branham..." See how Satan will try to jerk you off the road? He said, "Brother Branham, you know what? I believe the Lord will reveal to you what we're to do next. Is to... it'll be some great secret that's hid in under these Seven Seals."

L-264 I said, "No, that isn't it, brother."

L-265 He said, "It'll be something that's not even written in the Word."

L-266 I said, "No! No! You forget, 'Whosoever shall add one word, or take one Word away.'" See, It's already in there, but the reformers has failed to see It, they didn't live long enough to see It.

L-267 And the ages is over now, we're right here at Laodicea. And remember, the Laodicea age, He was on the outside of the church, knocking, trying to get back in: Eve had put her Adam out. God, help us. Let us go beyond the camp to find Him. Let us suffer without the gates with Him. Let us go to Him in His death, in His burial, and in His resurrection; for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-268   Let us sing one hymn before we leave. Will you? I Love Him. Would you give us the key, sister? How many knows the old hymn? I... If you ever been in the meetings, I love it.

L-269 Now let's just close our eyes, think of Jehovah. No one was worthy, no one could do it but Him. And He come down, and become a little baby. He come, a teenager. He become a carpenter, a working man. He become a Lamb, He become a sacrifice. He raised triumphantly, Jehovah. And as Moses pulled his hand from his bosom from over his heart, God pulled His hand from His bosom (His secret) His Son that was smitten with disease of sin, incurable; and stuck It back into the bosom again, and pulled It forth and extend It to you and I: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-270 Look at Him now.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-271   How many knows it had to be a shepherd, say "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Must! Why a shepherd? It had to be. Now while we sing this same verse over again, reach across the table. There's Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Catholic, and all, setting in here tonight. Shake hands, say, "Fellow pilgrim, I'm so glad to be here with you, tonight." Say something to them. Say, "God bless you," as we shake hands with one another now. As we sing it again now.
I...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-272 Now let's close our eyes and raise our hands, and sing to Him.
I love You, I love You
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-273   And now, God's without form. So, let's bow our heads and hum it now, like little children, you are children of God. Don't look at what the world might think, you're worshipping now, worshipping Christ. Just bow your heads and hum it. [Brother Branham and congregation hum I love Him--Ed.]
