And ten…I say five hundred years from tonight, this little group that’s setting here will be somewhere. That’s right. And wherever we are then, we’ll be where we’ll have to be to spend eternity. And tonight, it may be a decision time, and the last time that some of us will have to make our decision. Let’s make it tonight in the One Who, the only Man who ever proved that what He was. We have many great religions in the world, of philosophers and so forth, Confucius, and Mohammed, and different ones. And at the grave of Mohammedan, for two thousand years now, they’ve led a white horse daily, expecting him to rise and get on that, and ride away to victory, and ride the world down. But he died, and he’s laying in the grave. Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, and—and the founder of Buddha religion and so forth, of all those religions, they’re all dead and gone. But there’s only one man Who says, “I have power to lay My life down and take it up again.” And He proved that He had the jurisdiction over death. His followers coming down from the great Saint Paul. When death strikes them, they’re…I’ve seen them many times. Their eyes are glant—glazed, look like shine like an Angel, scream, “O death, where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” He’s the One that I’ve got my confidence in tonight. He’s the one that I love. And I know that you love Him too. So let’s worship Him with all of our heart. It’s my lot tonight to bring this part of the ministry, as His servant here that’s…Where His other servants are all over the world…His Gospel’s went around the world. And I’m here tonight to try with all my heart to bring the facts of a risen Jesus Christ in the—in the midst of this audience to you people. Please receive Him, and believe that His Words are true.
