<TITLE>01. Par 1-2</TITLE>53-0506, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, Bible Hour Tabernacle, Jonesboro, AR, 65 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. My, if this doesn't seem like coming back home again. I seen a sign out there said, "Home Coming." And that's just what I feel like it is: good old fashion home coming. So happy to be here tonight, to minister these few nights with you, in the Name of our dear beloved Lord Jesus.
And this is kind of an unexpected affair for me. I just all at once, just Something said, "Well, go down and see Brother Reed and all the folks down there." Well, we throwed a few books in a little old panel job, and Billy and I come right on down. So and we're very happy to be here.
I believe the tabernacle looks a little different than what it used to. It's kinda... They tell me the outside still looks better. So I... Or more changed rather, than what it is on the inside. Last time I was here, I believe we had the skylights through. And the people was up on top looking down through the skylights, when we was--was having the service. So, well, that's very, very fine.
Well, He has been awfully good to us. I know He's been good to you. He's been good to me. And such a privilege to get back to see Brother and Sister Reed also again. I told him he hadn't changed any. I... He's still just as chunky as he ever was. And I... And...

L-2 Said, "He got a new preacher down at their place." I guess that's right, isn't it, Sister Reed? And--and so he--I guess he knows what to do in those bedroom miles is at night, back and forth like kids. You soon get acquainted with it, with that, get aware of it. I've had four cases of that, so I'm a veteran there. See?
But it's sure good to be standing on this platform again. Say, I hope this is not broadcasted is it? It isn't? You know, when I get down here among you people here in Arkansas, I just feel like, I just feel at home. That's right.
And everywhere I've went, and anywhere in the United States, I've always found some people from Arkansas. Everywhere I went, I found some people from Arkansas. I--I have had very few meetings, when I'd say, "How many's here from Arkansas?" See? Everywhere. Well, if there's some Arkansas folks there, we're going to have a real meeting. So they really believe. That's right. So I'm--I'm not saying anything against any you folks here that's not from Arkansas. But you find... I find one thing about the people here, that they just don't try to figure out, and study all about it, and all the techniques of how God could make a man well. They just believe it, and go on, and get well. So that, that's just the way that God wants us to do.
We could never figure it out. You can't figure God out; you've just got to believe God, isn't that right? There was two trees in the garden of Eden, one of them was knowledge, and the other one was Life. And when a man went off the Tree of Life, to eat the tree of knowledge, he always tried to figure things out from then on. He never has got straightened out yet. So we might as well go back to the Tree of Life and just believe. Is that right?
