<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 Would we look for a great scholarly person who were--who was real scholarly? No. I'd have... There's no record of Him ever even going to school. That's right. Whether He did or not, I couldn't tell you. There's no record of it, where He was schooled. But would we look for a man that was dressed different, more, maybe today, some outstanding something, long robes and something another and... Would that type of a man? No.
Jesus dressed just like the ordinary man out on the street. He walked right among men, and they didn't even know Him. He didn't dress any different. He didn't dress like a priest or a Rabbi. He just dressed like the common man on the street.
What kind of a language did He use? Did He use real fine grammar? No. The Bible, if you... The truth is, the Bible was written so simple in the street language, until many of the translators get mixed up in it, in the words. That's right. It was so simply written, just very simple. That's the type of a person...

L-23 Where would He be? Out in the great shining lights? No. He would be amongst the humble. "The common people heard Him gladly," said the Scripture. The priests and so forth wouldn't listen to Him. They had their own ideas, their own churches, their own set-up, so they didn't listen.
What kind of a Man would He be then? Would He be a--a real overbearing sort of a person? No. I don't believe He would. I believe He'd be a kind person. And I--I believe He would--He would be so kind, that when He spoke to you, you'd know it was Him speaking, and yet He would be firm enough till you would know that... Like when He plaited the ropes together and beat them out of the temple for doing something wrong. So, He would be a--a... quite a... No, I don't believe no artist could paint His character. But He would be a very sweet Person for us to see, wouldn't He? No matter what He would look like or anything. He would be.

L-24 Now, if we would like to see Him, and Jesus Christ will appear here with us tonight... I want you to get this close now. If Jesus will appear here in this room tonight, and will manifest Hisself to this audience, just the same as He was in Galilee, will you believe Him? Will you accept it? Say, just say, "I--I--I believe it. I'll--I'll now believe for my healing. I'll believe for my salvation. I'll believe Jesus Christ raised from the dead."
Well then, when He was here on earth, what He was then, He is now, all but His visible flesh. He's here in Spirit. You believe that? "A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet you shall see Me (Who is 'ye?' The Church. Well, some of them said that was the disciples. Oh, no. Listen at the next.) you shall see Me for I (personal pronoun) will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." That settles it. Is that right? Not just for that age, for all ages, plumb to the end of the world...

L-25 They said... The signs of Mark 16 is said today that that was just for the disciples. Why, Jesus said, "Preach the Gospel unto all the world, and these signs shall follow them," on to all the world. Everywhere, this same sign, same Gospel will be preached. We've had tracts passed out all over the world. But the Gospel hasn't been preached to a third of it yet.
The Gospel is not just the Word only, but it's the Word made manifest, the power and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit, bringing the Word to pass.
