<TITLE>07. Par 19-21</TITLE>L-19 Now, notice again. When Jesus was here, the people knew that He healed the people, but He didn't claim to do it Himself. He said He didn't do it. Who did He say done it? "The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. It's not Me that doeth the works."
Then if we would see Jesus tonight, we wouldn't say a--see a man saying, "Come to me, and I'll show you how to heal you. I'll do this." He wouldn't be that type of person, would He? Because when He was here He gave credit to the Father that was in Him doing the works. Is that right?
Then we seen Him going about doing good, We seen Him persecuted, made fun of, laughed at, called His hand: somebody always at his neck, trying their best to get something on Him. They'd get Him into a corner, twist Him around and everything, trying to make Him a liar, and make Him a fake, make Him a deceiver. But every time God come on the scene and proved that that was His Son. Is that right? God's still the same tonight. Don't you believe that? Everything that takes place just set still. God's on the scene; He'll make all things right.

L-20 And then we seen Him of that type of Person. And now... And what He was here on earth, we notice the characters about Him that drawed people to Him, was first was His love for the people. He loved the people, and the people knew that He loved them, because He had something to tell them. They knew this Man was acquainted behind the curtain yonder of death. They knew that He knew something about the world beyond, the regions beyond. So they loved to talk with Him. He talked His talk with seasoned and mellow. There was something... His characters, I doubt whether there'd be a artist could ever paint it. If it's true, in a vision one time, I saw Him. I say that humbly, because I couldn't say it positive. But if it is, there's never an artist could paint that picture of His characters. He was a Man Who could be stern and speak; and yet, He was a Man Who was humble and loving. He was so many different characters in Him, that people, you couldn't paint His picture. He was God's manifestation of love, power, and deity, and everything was in Him.

L-21 Then we notice Him as He went around, He, on the earth here, He had a--a something about Him that was different from ordinary men. We see Him one day in His prayer line, at the beginning of His ministry, when His fame first started. And there was a fellow by the name of Philip who got saved. And he believed on the Lord Jesus, and he begin to tell people about Him, wanted to run, tell everybody. That's a good sign he really got saved, isn't it? When he wants to tell somebody. He ran and tell his friend Nathaniel, and when he found Nathaniel, he found him under a tree, perhaps praying. And he said, "Come, see Who I have found, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
He said, "Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
Said, "Come, see."
And when He come to where He was--where He was... Now, a just fine, religious man of really perhaps orthodox in his beliefs, come walking up, said, "I'll see about this fellow."
And when he walked up, Jesus said, "Ah, behold an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
Well now, what would you think would happen today? The believer today, or the man would say, "Say, that guy's a mind reader. He knew that I was a believer. He knew that I was a Christian."
Well, He said, "In whom there is no guile."
And so he thought, 'Well, I'll just ask the man.' Said, "Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi?"
"Why," He said, "before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
Why, he said, "You're the Son of God, the king of Israel." See?
