<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 He said, "I have no one to put me in the water, while I'm coming..." See, he could walk; he wasn't crippled, neither was he blind. He said, "While I'm coming, someone steps down before me." In other words, there was younger people there who get in, and the Angel only healed one, then returned back to the glory, and waited for another season. What that season was determined, of course, I do not know. Might've been a month; it might've been six months; but great multitudes, thousands and thousands of people waited for the moving of the water.
Now, of course, people in them days, as they would be today, they said, "That's just psychology." But many people believe that it was an Angel. The Bible said that it was an Angel. I believe it then, don't you? The Bible said it was an Angel went down and troubled the water.

L-9 Now, a troubled water, if anyone living near these lakes and things, knows that's a chopped water. The current going one way and the wind another, which chops the water. And probably thinking, on the being there and the... by the sheep market, when the winds caught up a certain ways, but whether it was wind, or whatever it was, God said in His Bible, that it was an Angel. I believe it.
And now, Jesus passing through there, the Son of God, full of love, full of compassion, passing by the crippled, and afflicted, and blind people; yet, He healed them many times. But passed right by and healed one man that had an infirmity, not the affliction, an infirmity for thirty-eight years.
Then the Jews questioned Him. And here's what he said, as they found the man packing his bed on the Sabbath day. And they questioned Jesus. Now, remember, Saint John 5:19 and 20. Here's what He said. Listen close now. "The Son can do not... Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son also. For whatsoever things the Father doeth, He showeth the Son, and He will show you greater things than this, that ye may marvel." Is that right?

L-10 Then let's just stop on that Scripture, which we could take it through the Bible, through the prophets, through the ages. And there never was any person did anything without God first showing. The prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel, looked like he just went up there and got angry with the people and called down fire. Oh, no. When he got it all laid in order, he said, "Lord, I've done this at Your Word." Is that right? Everywhere, it was something God showed. And it must be perfect, for God said so.

L-11 Now, if Jesus done nothing, now why didn't He heal that crippled man, or the twisted man, or the lame man, or the halt man? Is because the Father had not showed him. Is that right? Do you believe that's the reason? And He only healed what the Father showed Him. Then if He said, "A little while, and the world seeth Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Is that right?
Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever the same: same in love; same in power; same in compassion; same in works; same in signs; same in wonders. You believe that?
"Why," they say, "He died."
Yes, that's right. But He rose again, and He appeared back, the same lovely Jesus. Do you believe that?
