“What if you were--had committed a crime and you were going to be tried in a federal court, and you knowed that if they found you guilty, that you were going to die, you were going to the electric chair, or the gas chamber, or whatever public execution they were going to have for you: maybe hung or something, lynched, whatever the penalty was, and you knowed that you had--you were guilty... You know you were guilty, and you must die if you dont get some attorney to represent you that--who can get you out of the thing. And now, youd want the best attorney that you could have. And then, getting an attorney that was a good, shrewd attorney, youd feel that your case was a little; you could relax a little bit, because you had an attorney. But still there would be a question whether this attorney could change the judges idea or change the jury. If this attorney with his shrewd speaking, and the knowing of the laws could change that, and could plead your case, and prove that you should live...But yet in all of his great authority and the great speech that he could make, and the impression he could put upon the jury or have with the judge, youd--maybe you might get a relax for a few minutes; but still thered be a question in your mind: Can he do it? But in this case, the Judge Himself has becomes our Attorney. God became Man. There was no attorney could do it. We couldnt find one. Moses and the law, the prophets, nothing could do it. So the Judge become both Jury, Attorney, and Judge Himself and took the justice of His Law in His Own hands and paid the price of it Himself, how much more secure could we be? and sent His own Life back upon us as a Witness that Hes accepted It. How safely. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Ill fear no evil: for thou art with me... When He becomes both Judge, Jury, and--and--and Attorney, He pleaded our case. We, found guilty by His Own law, and He come and took the guilty persons place that was in the sanctuary. He took his sin. He took it upon Himself, and died, and paid the price, and shed His Blood, and give back His Own Token: His Own Life. Why, we are perfectly... The case is dismissed. Theres no more sin to the believer. Oh, God, have mercy. If the people cant see that--that theres no more case. He that heareth My words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life, and shall not come to the judgment, buts passed from death unto Life. Theres the case. Case dismissed; no more case to it. Amen. Then safely--safely with the Token applied.” (-WMB, TOKEN.THE.title JEFF.IN. V-2 N-19 63-0901M)
