<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 And to be gathered here in this building tonight, yet under the heat of the--the weather, yet the glorious Spirit of Jesus Christ is in the building, and ready to make well the sick, and to make the needy to be satisfied, to supply all that we have need of. Your heavenly Father knows you have need of these things before you even ask Him. How wonderful that He is to us.
I wish to read His Word at this time, just to go with some of the Words that has perhaps already been read. This is found in Saint John the 10th chapter, beginning with the 22nd verse. And I wish to read this part before we pray for the sick.
 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
 And Jesus walked into the temple in Solomon's porch.
 Then came the Jews around about him, and said unto him, How long does thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
 I and my Father are one.
 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those... do you stone me?
 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, make thyself God.
 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your laws, I said, Ye are gods?
 And if he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scriptures cannot be broken;
 Say ye of him, who the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
 Therefore they sought again to take up stones: and he escaped out of their hand,

L-6 May our Lord add His blessings to His Word. God in confirmation of His Word, of the testimony of Jesus Christ, was declaring to the people that it was the Son of God.
Once in talking to a man, he said, "Nowhere in the Scriptures did Jesus ever say that He was, plainly say He was the Son of God." There's several places He said He was the Son of God. He told... Saint John 4, He said He was the Son of God. And also here He says He was the Son of God.
And the people who believed Him and recognized Him to be the Son of God because the signs of God followed His Son... And His Son has risen from the dead, living among us tonight. And the same Jesus that God a vindicated that day, a vindicates in His Church tonight, with His believers. For Jesus said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet you will see Me for I (personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world," now, not someone else but Jesus Himself.

L-7 He has risen from the dead, living in His Church, and He said, "The things that I do, shall you also. Greater than this shall you do because I go to My Father."
Now, the people couldn't understand how Him being a man, would go to the Father and yet be back in. But He said, "I came from God, and I go to God." He came out of Spirit into--out of eternity into time, for the taking away of sin, passed through time, went back into eternity. So, it's--was God.
And He's with us, raised from the dead. And the things that He did in the days of His flesh, He is doing tonight, and has been doing since He rose from the dead.
