|Now I want to take a text out of there, just one little five-lettered word: Token. Token! I want to speak on the word, or teach this Sunday school lesson, on the word of a "token." | |Now I want to take a text out of there, just one little five-lettered word: Token. Token!

'''God must see this Token'''. He must see It in every one of us. | |||
He don't want to identify himself out there with that group; no, sir, this fanatics with the blood on the door. He don't want that identification. No matter how much priest he was, how much he knowed the Word, how well he had been raised, '''what works he had done''', how much he had give to the poor, how much he had sacrificed! | |||
It's a '''perfect type of Christ''', just exactly, '''the believer today standing under the shed Blood''', identified with the Sacrifice. | |||

|The blood was a “TOKEN.” “When I see the BLOOD, I will pass over you.” Ex. 12:13. | |The blood was a “TOKEN.” “When I see the BLOOD, I will pass over you.” Ex. 12:13. It is not a question of “'''personal worthiness''',” nor of “'''good works''',” nor of “morality,” but of the BLOOD. “It is the BLOOD that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Lev. 17:11. The Israelites were not merely in a salvable state, they were SAVED, not partly but completely. If a hair of one of the “First Born” sheltered behind the blood had been touched, it would have proved Jehovah’s word void, and the blood of the lamb valueless. We may have no assurance as to our salvation, but '''have we applied the “Blood of Christ” to our soul''', are we trusting to it, and it alone, for our salvation? If so, '''all that is necessary is, that GOD sees it'''. | ||
