Gospel—P. Wilson
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Before I begin, that is primarily upon my heart tonight.
I want to turn first to the last chapter of Exodus. The last chapter of Exodus.
And the 34th verse we will remember the account in the book of Exodus.
Our God gave explicit and minute direction for the constructing of the Tabernacle.
In the which he was to dwell.
And when we get to the last chapter.
Tabernacle has been completed.
The 34th verse.
Then a cloud. That's the cloud of Jehovah's presence.
That is often referred to as the Shekinah glory.
And a cloud covered the tent of the congregation.
And the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle, and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation.
Because the cloud abode their arm and the glory of the Lord.
Build the cabinet.
You know, in the rush.
And bustle of everyday life.
We sometimes forget.
The holiness and the glory of God.
God is holy.
More holy than the behold iniquity.
And when God took up his abode on earth in the Tabernacle among the children of Israel, whom he called himself out of Egypt.
He had the Tabernacle built according to his specific direction.
Moses was warned not to depart from the direction.
He said he thou make all things according to the pattern that is told me in the mouth.
And then, when the Tabernacle was completed, the glory of the Lord.
Came in even more. That honored servant of God could not stay in there. They had belief. You know, people today think very little.
Of the glory of the Person of God.
Who he is?
And what he?
There's a common thought in the world.
The sort of.
Has taken over.
Giving God a grandfatherly.
Carry a sort of a loving, benign God who would never put a soul in hell.
Who would never hinder his creature from enjoying anything.
But friends, that's not the God, but the word of God. Doubt is about.
That's a figment of imagination.
Originated by the Father of Lies.
Here we see that even Moses can't stand with the president says of the glory of God.
Now the first verse of the next book.
And the Lord called unto Moses, and bake unto him out of the Tabernacle of the congregation, saying, These under the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering under the Lord.
Ye shall bring your offering, and so forth.
And the next chapters are devoted to giving a description.
Of the offerings that could be offered to God.
Now when we find God in his glory, filling the Tabernacle.
You get a word out of that Tabernacle.
That specifically lays down the only ground of approach.
Oh God, you know that's lost sight of today that there is one way.
And only one way of approaching God.
00:05:04
You know, it's common practice today in this country.
Say that every man has a right to worship God after the dictates of his own country.
Now I beg to disagree.
Now, if they mean by that that no other man has the right to intervene.
And to circumscribe the man's privilege of approaching God himself.
That's another map.
But in all that, no woman, no boy or girl.
Has the right to approach this right Holy Ghost, for whom even angels they'll faces, according to Isaiah said No man, no one has the right to approach that holy God.
Except in the prescribed way.
I wonder.
If anybody here thinks.
That they could go to Washington, DC next week.
And barge right into the president's office and have an interview with the president of the United States.
Without having followed due protocol.
Without having approached according to the rules laid down to the office.
Find himself in this.
And what I say for the president of the United States is only.
Magnified and increased 1000 times where there's royalty.
What is man compared with Almighty God?
The mighty God between true and poor. Remember that in Hebrews 4 it says all things.
All of them are naked and opened under the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
There isn't a person in this room.
That would want all that they've done printed on this wall.
The 139th Psalm says that God knows even our thoughts.
And that there is not a word in my tongue that what he knows.
Every word with us, everything that goes through this mind, you know.
And he's the whole exhaust.
The Lord whom angels veil of his.
Now, this is just a preliminary.
To what I have before me and let it turn to Genesis 4.
Genesis 4.
And Adam knew Eve, his wife, and she conceived and bare Cain.
Said I have gotten a man from the Lord.
He again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a pillar of the ground.
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground, and offering unto the Lord.
And Abel he also brought of the first things of his flock.
And look after out, and the Lord had respect unto.
Able and to his office, but under Cain and to his offering he had not respected.
And Cain was very raw, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou raw, and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted, and if thou doest not, well?
In lies at the door.
Under thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against table his brother, and flew it.
00:10:02
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not.
What a lie. Am I, my brother's keeper?
An insinuation that if God thought so much of him as to accept him, he should have kept it. Am I my brother's people?
And he said, What hast thou done?
The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
Now thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Here we have an account of two men, two young men, two brothers.
The first two men that were ever born into this world.
How may we suggest?
That these two young men have the same parents.
They had the same opportunities. One is the other.
They had the same knowledge.
The other.
They both knew that they were expelled from the Garden of Eden.
Their parents were Perhaps it was there, within sight.
They couldn't have helped, but no without the account of the fall of man.
And now these two young men were not infidels.
These two young men were believers in a certain sense. They believed that there was a God.
Do you believe that there is a God?
Only the fool doesn't.
Only the fool doesn't.
You believe there is a God, That's something. But do you know that that God is whole?
Do you know that that God is a thin hating God and will never allow you or anyone else in his presence with sins on them?
These two young men decided.
Each of them that it would be a good thing to bring an offering to the Lord.
It would be a good thing if they approached God and they felt that they must offer Him something.
The first man, the older one of the two, came with his name. He was a farmer. He was a pillar of the ground.
His brother Abel, the younger of the two.
With equal opportunity.
With a shepherd kept sheep.
The owner of the two decided to bring an offering to God, and he in keeping with his.
Occupation, I suppose he thought, went out and selected fruit.
May I suggest?
That he probably chose the best fruit.
That the ground could rest.
He chose the best specimen of his agriculture.
Of His nourishing the things that he planted, cultivating them, and then he came at the due time, a set time, and he presented this fruit to God.
The other man. The other young man.
A box, the first lady of his flock. But did you notice something else to be brought?
Fourth verse and Abel he also brought of the first slings of his flock and the factor of in other words, he didn't bring a living lamb or living lamb.
The infidel likes to say, well, there's no difference except the one with the farmer and the other was a shepherd, and they naturally brought what came to hand.
00:15:00
But that isn't true.
That is not the answer.
Because Abel killed his lamb.
And he says that is a dead blood.
Here is one that comes now to God with a sacrifice, and he presents that to God.
Now the two men stand before God, the same God, the same holy God, and their standing entirely on the basis of the offerings that they have presented.
And God had respect and able and to his office.
Aim and he was often he had nothing.
I might say this.
Benefit of some of the young people here, maybe some older.
That there is a common fallacy in Christendom today.
And it's very widespread.
That relegates the 1St 11 Chapters of the Word of God, the 1St 11 Chapters of the Book of Genesis.
To the Myth category.
They say that the 1St 11 Chapters of Genesis are only missed.
Or allegory. Or parable.
It came into my hand just last week.
A Sunday school manual for the quarter.
Put out by a certain very large organization.
Which said that very thing, and they put pages of it to explain what myths and allegory and parable meant, and in doing so they explained away the very truth of the word of God.
Now let God be true, when every man alive.
Furthermore.
They went to great lengths in this.
Manual. It was for adult plants.
They went to great lengths to say that Abel was not received by God on the basis of the sacrifice he offered.
I hope to still later that that statement is a deliberate law.
For Abel was received on the basis of his sacrifice.
They say that he was not received on that basis, but merely man has received according to how he feels.
What his attitude is in making an awesome devote. Now let me return to my first premise.
That God is holy and God lays down the rules of approach.
And this holy God says just exactly how a Sinner can approach him.
Now, early in the book, we get the account of these two boys in order that we may learn right there what God will accept and what He will reject.
Here's a man that comes and brings the best fruit he can find.
He prevented the God and his rejection.
Forthwith, another young man comes and offers a dead land.
For he came and brought the first things of his flock with the factor.
And God except.
Now what we learn here is this, that God must be approached on the ground of sacrifice.
If you're going to be accepted before a holy God, you have to be accepted on the basis of what you present to God for your acceptance.
Now I hope I won't get over the heads of the children who are here.
For I believe there are some children here and probably some adults who are not sick.
00:20:03
It's most unlikely that you would find in an audience of this size that everybody is truly the Lord.
Remember, we're speaking about two men that were not into.
Two men that approached God.
But one of them was accepted and the other was not. Now this is for your learning and from, for my learning and for your.
Do you want to be accepted before a holy God? Do you want to have a righteous standing before Him? Well, there's a way, but you must come God's way.
Be it known unto you, therefore, that through this man, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on Calvary's cross, He was preached unto you the forgiveness of sin, and by Him all the beliefs are justified from all things.
Is that plain enough?
Through one man, the one the wall cast out, the one whom the walls had away with.
You know, there was, there's an old track referred to an electioneering campaign in the city of Jerusalem almost 2000 years ago. The city was filled. People were there in great numbers. It was a peaceful, a religious peaceful, a peace that God himself had originated.
And they were all there for this religious observance.
And this feast, the Passover, was that which looked forward to the death of Christ, the true Lamb of God.
And here was the true Lamb of God in the city. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God had come down into this world, taking human form, was here among men. And now the election was on.
There were two men on the ballot that day.
Jesus.
And miracle.
Jesus and forever. Which would it be?
You say, well, I'm sure if I had been there I would have chosen Jesus.
But the mob didn't. They all cried out away with it.
Is it remonstrated?
Violet says why? What evil has he done?
Pilot pleaded. He rendered the verdict of acquittal time and again.
They thought that they had Pilot where he would render a verdict of guilty by saying he forbids to give tribute to Caesar.
Was a deliberate lie.
Because he didn't forgive, forbid to give goodness to Jesus when they tried to get him to. He says you render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's.
Pilot wasn't moved, he said. I find no quality.
Violet's wife says have nothing to do with this justice. Even the man that betrayed him said I have sinned and that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
Witness after witness came forward to test his innocence.
Pilot says. Now I'm going to offer you a choice.
Rather, it was a murder. It was a robber.
He said now which will it be? Barabbas or Jesus?
They said all at once away with Jesus. You wonder that this world has had nothing but wars and troubles since then and they try 1 expedient after the another to get rid of war.
The United Nations is the last attempt.
What a poor thing that is.
The League of Nations was another. The World Court was another.
But they're having wars and problems and international troubles one after another, and they're going to keep on having them because they rejected the Prince of Peace. They said give us the wraps. They chose a robber to the Son of God.
They told the murder to the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:25:03
Now what's your choice, my friend?
Maybe there are two boys that are in here tonight brother. One of you is knows the Lord Jesus as a savior and the other doesn't.
I ask you to answer the question before God for yourself.
On whose side am I?
What is your standing before God, my young man?
Can you say I have accepted Jesus in my face? I know that when he died on Calvary's cross and in those three hours of darkness.
He stood there and received the judgment that my sin deserved. Can you say that?
Maybe there are two people in here tonight, 1A husband and the other a wife.
Join together in matrimony.
One destined for heaven and the other destined for.
I'm not making up imaginary cases. These things exist all around.
People linked together that are not going to be together in eternity.
How about you?
How about you?
Remember, it isn't enough to know about Jesus.
The devils also believe in temple. What good does it do?
Think of all the people that were in Jerusalem for that feast, a religious feast or God in heaven, the true God and yet rejecting the Son of God while they're both.
Many are on the road to eternity tonight.
With the name of Christ on their lips.
Probably registered in some Churchville on some church roads.
I don't ask you if you've been baptized.
There's a word in Mark that says he that will believe is not shall be damned.
I heard one man say that it might be might read this he that believeth not, even though he were baptized.
To believe not on the Lord Jesus Christ would be fatal.
Well, what else happened?
God received a little man that brought me one second.
The acceptable sacrifice. He brought a sacrifice that was accepted, and he was identified with the sacrifice, and God accepted the sacrifice and he accepted him.
The other man brought an offering that wasn't accepted, and the result was he wasn't.
So it isn't enough to know what God will accept.
You must be identified with that which He will accept. You must be connected with you. Know that God will only accept the work of Christ as a basis for your salvation. He is the holy God that hates sin, and He provided the Savior to put sin away.
But he will not receive you unless you accept that Savior is your God will never be so indifferent.
The work of his beloved son on Calvary's crosses to receive one trimmer rejects Christ.
You say, oh, I wouldn't reject him, but let me ask you, did you accept?
Have you accepted it?
Boys and girls here tonight, are you saying brother in the other room this evening praying for this meeting and he made special prayer for the children that would be in this room lest when the Lord comes and he's coming soon, don't need to think that things are going on always like they are now.
God's judgement hangs over this world for what they did to Christ.
And one of these days, he's going to take the Christians home, and his judgment will fall.
And this rather pray tonight furnace.
The standing be found here.
Without crack, go into a law to be left behind when Christ claims his own.
00:30:10
Well, these two men, one was accepted, the other was interjected. Do you know that these two men are told of all through the book?
Do you realize that this whole book is joined together by indissoluble ties? This book is one.
And says, oh, it was written by so many different authors.
I want to say that this book had one off.
Spirit, Holy Spirit of God.
And he used certain men to write certain parts, but really it's the writing.
Given by the Spirit of God. It's all one. It tells one story.
What you'll find at the beginning, you'll find at the close.
Turn with me a moment to Matthew 23.
Now here is the Lord Jesus speaking to those religious people that were in Jerusalem for that great electioneering campaign.
When they chose the devil's man.
For Barabbas means the son of the father.
And Jesus was the true Son of the Father.
And here was Barabbas.
Satan's man, Satan's counterfeit, if you will.
Now Matthew 23.
Verse 34 Wherever, behold, I send you, send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes.
This is Jesus talking to this city that is just about to reject Him.
Some of them you should kill and crucify, and some of them you shall scourge in your synagogues and persecute them from city to city, that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth.
From the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom he flew between the temple and the altar.
I said before that when man says this is only a myth, it's only an allegory.
That they lost. Hear the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God now.
Says the righteous blood of Abel.
To say that that is a myth or an allegory is to attribute to the Lord of Glory.
Either ignorant work. Here we have the Lord Jesus substantiating for the account of Genesis.
Or that generated upon that people they come all the righteous bloodshed from the blood of righteous Abel. You see how the Lord of Jesus, the Lord of glory, put his sanction on Genesis 4.
If you reject Genesis 4 or Genesis 1 to 11, you'll reject what the Lord said in Matthew 23.
It won't stop them. Let's go to heat.
Hebrews 11.
We'll see what the Apostle Paul says about the same subject.
And he writes by the Spirit of God.
To Hebrews 11.
Verse 4.
By faith Abel all productive God a more excellent sacrifice than pain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous God testifying of his ear. And by yet he being dead, yet speaketh.
Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than faith.
00:35:01
There's a modern.
Manual for adult classes say that it wasn't the difference in the offering.
That it was just the difference in how they viewed it.
Way with that trash.
It says by faith, Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. He offered a dead land. He as much as says to God, I deserve death.
But I bring for my acceptance a little victim that has died.
And God accepted him on the ground.
Of the offering.
God a more excellent sacrifice than what's your offer? On what do you stand before God?
If you stand before God on any other ground and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross, you're off.
Doesn't make any difference how religious you are. Remember, Cain was a very religious man. He could put people today as religious people today to shame. And I'll tell you what's more, he was an industrious man. He built a city.
He introduced into the city the arts and science.
He had an industrious family. He was a good husband. He was a good provider.
And yet, is law lost?
Lost.
Sacrifices gotten with him, except.
You wonder that people today are going on the roads of eternity in the of the dam along with Cain, why many of them couldn't hold a candle to Cain?
As far as moral upright.
Good husband.
Goodbye.
Religious.
No infidelity.
But he was coming in the wrong way.
Are you going in the wrong way? Remember there is only one right way and there may be a million wrongs.
People say it doesn't make any difference which way I come, just so I come.
Go after the International Airport O'Hare Airfield or one of the go out there and say it doesn't make any difference which airplane I get on, just so long as I go somewhere.
Leave that.
You might get on.
A plane and not have a ticket for that plan.
You wouldn't even get.
They put you off before you got started.
Do you want to go to Tokyo?
Or Atlanta.
You are not going to get any direction unless you go the right way.
One way there is a way that seemeth right unto a man with the under over the ways of death.
All dear young person here tonight, if you don't have Christ as your savior now.
See that you're doing it the next minute, but before you go to bed. Shall we put it that way? Suppose the Lord would come tonight. Would you want to wake up in a lost eternity? Or would you want to wake up with Father and Mother gone? Perhaps when you left behind, you get up in the morning.
Mother is gone. You know she was a Christian.
Maybe Father was a Christian too, and he's gone.
If you want to be left behind, you know what's coming after the Christians are gone.
The worst troubles this world has ever seen.
The worst troubles this world has ever seen. You want to be here? Then thank God we who know Christ is our Savior going to be with Christ in glory.
Well, by faith, he offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. So you see the story that's being told in some schools today to the adult classes, Sir, that this verse isn't true, that it doesn't make any difference what manner.
But I say on the authority of the word of God that it does. Now who are you going to believe?
00:40:07
God, the man who lives by which he obtained witness that he was righteous. God testifying of his gifts, and by it he being dead, yet speaketh.
Here's a man who's been dead for almost 6000 years and he's thinking to you tonight. You ever hear a dead man speak?
The one speaking to you tonight, his name is April, he says. I brought a sacrifice that God accepted. Many accepted me.
If you want to be accepted, you do the same.
Now you don't have to find the sacrifice. God has done it. God has provided the sacrifice.
His own beloved son on Calvary, Scott Abel, had to go get one.
By faith, he recognized that God was holy and he was a Sinner, and God had to have something that would die.
That we would accept him. He says I deserve that and Ioffer my for my acceptance, something that is God.
God accepted him.
Now let's turn to 12Th chapter Hebrews.
24th verse.
And of Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling.
Let's make a better thing than that available.
Abel's blood cried unto the God from the earth for vengeance.
God said to Cain, the earth could receive thy brother's blood.
Right for me.
But all another has died, his blood has been shed, and the blood of Christ speaking buttless things, and that of Abraham. It's true that God is yet going to view that His Son suffered for righteousness.
That he suffered at the hand of man. But tonight God is offering you salvation through that one with God when you have it.
Oh, I wouldn't take the risk if I were you. I wouldn't put it off another day.
You think what it might have been if the Lord had come yesterday and you weren't safe.
Now let's go. We've already seen what the Lord Jesus said in the New Testament, what the apostle Paul has said twice. Let's go to first John and see what John says about it. Again, it's the Spirit of God that gives it first John 3.
First John three and verse 12.
Not as king.
Who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother?
Wherefore slew he him?
Because his own his own works were evil and his brother is righteous.
Now what were changed? Evil works.
You know what God says about it here? He says Keynes works for evil.
Abel's works were righteous.
Now what came to evil work was.
Offering the fruit of a cursed earth to God.
God had cursed the earth because of Adam's sin, He says, Henceforth it will yield its fruit at the what of your face. But he takes he who laborers, and he has the sweat of his face, and he gets his fruit, and he offers the fruit of a cursor to go.
God rejects.
He rejects the sacrifice, the offering. He rejects now he says his works were evil.
Did you ever stop to think of it that a religious man that is working for his salvation is as wicked work? Evil works. If you're trusting to anything but the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross for your salvation, your works are evil.
And I'm talking about your works of religion.
You may go to church every Sunday, you may say your prayers and read your bike, but if you haven't accepted Christ as your Savior, as you're standing before God, your words are evil.
00:45:10
Wherefore slowly in because his own works were evil.
Remember, it doesn't. It isn't referring now here.
Who came slaying his brother? It says. Why did he slay him? This is work that preceded the murder.
And the work that preceded the murder was?
Offering the fruit of a cursor to God with God rejected.
Then he got angry and killed his brother. So when it speaks about his works being evil.
It doesn't refer to his murdering his brother, it refers to his offering the fruit of a cursed earth to God.
Well, we've heard what the Lord said about it, what Paul says about it.
My inspiration.
What John has said about it. Now let's see what Jude says about it.
My object in turning to all these different places is to prove that what's going on today in Christendom is a lot.
And I don't want anybody here tonight to be deceived by it.
What does it say here?
Jude verse 11.
Woe unto them.
That's an awful word. Woe. Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain.
They have gone in the way of bringing to God their own evil works.
For anything less than Christ as their as their offering before God for their acceptance of evil.
Anything left?
Indeed, my faith, Abel offered him the God of all excellent sacrificing king. What you're all How do you stand before a living God that sees all through it, knows our thoughts, our words are down, sitting in our uprisings, everything.
Knows everything you and I have ever done. What's our standing before Him? The work of Christ on Calvary's cross are some attempts of ourselves, of our own.
To improve our life, make ourselves acceptable to call.
Tell you on the authority of the word of God, that is well unto you, unless you have Christ, as you see.
There's a time coming that says in Scripture, whoa, whoa, whoa.
To the inhabitants of the earth.
People on Earth, it's going to be a three times over. Whoa.
Whoa unto them, for they've gone away.
But how about it? What's the time?
We know there's a right word.
We take God at His word. I trust everybody here tonight will say that will agree with that statement. Let's take God at His word. God is holy and He must have payment for spirit. He must have something that satisfies His Holiness and He provided a Savior that satisfied the claim.
He says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
And if we believe not, we're at home.
World.
I trust we are all agreed that there's only one way to stand before a holy God, and that's on the work of Christ on Calvary stuff.
But he suffered for sin that just for the angels where God poured out his whole Iraq against him on him, the sinless one, and he gave up his spirit and his side was piercing forth with came their out of blood and water. Do you know that Savior's your well if you don't, when would be a good time to do it brings to mind a story.
Of a very rich man.
That had large holding and he had many tenant farmers on the land.
There were many of them in debt to him and owed him large sums.
And he posted a sign and.
The place where they would congregate, where they would pass and they said anyone that would come to his office.
00:50:01
With a proof of his indebtedness between the hours of two and 3:00 on Tuesday.
Would have all his death canceled.
Somebody may say, well, now that goes back to the days of feudalism. That's not the point. Point is in the story.
He specified a way that all the deaths could be liquidated by the man to whom they were old. But he specified a time, and it was between 2:00 and 3:00 in his office on Tuesday.
Well, the crowd of people congregated outside of his office.
At noon.
It grew larger by one. It grew larger by two.
But no one went into the office. They knew the man was in there. They knew he was a man of his word.
After 231 old couple went in there with their old bills and proof of indebtedness, and they went into the office.
And they sort of apologized when they went in. They said they hope they didn't misunderstand what he said. No, you didn't misunderstand it. Let's see what you owe.
Laid it all out, he said. Now do you owe anything more?
Not that they recollect.
But he says, I want to be sure that it's everything.
So they satisfied him and themselves that that was all I'll he wrote them a receipt in full.
And they rose to leave, thanked him most kindly, most heartily, and they arose to leave. It was still 2:45.
The time was up at 3:00, he said. No, I don't want you to leave her yet.
I want you to sit down in the adjoining room and wait there to stop.
You didn't want.
Them to go out to the others and say he's as good as his work. He wanted each to act on his own faith.
Not one more of all those indebted people came in to claim his promise, and at 3:00.
The rich man left and they were all the rest were left without their debt.
Two to three wasted time. 1 old couple took advantage.
Now I ask you, what is the time to accept Christ to be saved?
I can tell you in 3 letters.
And oh W now. And I want to ask you something. How long is now?
How long is now?
Wasn't a minute ago.
It isn't tomorrow.
It isn't an hour from now.
But Oh no, is the accepted time hold. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the time that God is asking your salvation to have it now.
Don't put it on. Don't the one against whom you sinned.
Basis to forgive everything that you have ever committed. And he's anxious to do it. He wants to do it. My story of the rich man falls short.
Because God is pleading with you to come once more, He pleads tonight.
When you take Christ with your sin.
Might tell you the story closing.
Of the man.
Young man who committed murder.
It was a young man years ago in the state of Ohio.
He was sentenced to be executed.
Sentence will be put to death.
A certain time on a certain day.
Where is murder?
His mother went to the governor. I think it was Cox's governor at that time.
And pleaded with him and do something for her son.
He wasn't promised or anything.
00:55:01
But he said he'd take the case under advice.
He went to the penitentiary where this young man was confined awaiting execution.
He took a Bible under his arm.
He went down, had the turnkey let him in and showed him down the corridors until he came to this man's bell. He unlocked it and he let him in.
The governor stepped in with the Bible in his hand and he said, young man, I want to speak to you.
The young man says, but I don't want to speak to you. And walked away.
Walk to the far corner the cell.
The governor pleaded with him.
He says I came to talk with you and he was selling, wouldn't say a word.
Finally, the governor left and the turnkey locked himself, left the doomed man to his doom.
A little while later, the turnkey came down and he says, did you, how did you get along with the governor?
Because I didn't see any governor.
Said Oh yes, I let him in yourself.
He says. You mean that man with the Bible is the governor? That's what I mean. We went into hysterics since I threw away.
I threw away my last.
He wouldn't take him, he wouldn't see the map that could part. We could give him luck. Don't throw away your last chance.
