<TITLE>04. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 Now, we are going to try to give this in the--the form, the best that we know how to do. And now, I want you to notice, as we try to bring this.
Now, the Greek then, he didn't want to see Jesus' wisdom, he only wanted to see Jesus. He said, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Not know His wisdom, though he knew He was possessed with wisdom, but they wanted to see Jesus. Now, that was the main thing: Their desire was that they could see the Lord Jesus. And then, they told Philip. Philip went and told Andrew, and they went and told Jesus, that these Jews was desiring Him.
Now, that's the desire of the hearts here tonight, as I asked you how many would like to see Jesus. Everyone raised their hand, as far as I could see, that they would like to see Jesus. Now, that's only the human side. Every one, all ages has, wants to see God.

L-16 Job, the oldest book in the Bible, he said, "If I..." In other words, putting it in--in form so the children would even understand here. "If I only knew where He lived and I could go up and knock on His door, or something on that manner, and have a conversation with Him."
And God told Job, "Now, gird yourself up. Gird up your loins, for I'm going to speak to you." And God came down in the form of a whirlwind, and said, "Where was you, Job, when I laid the foundations of the world, and so forth." He spoke directly to Job, because He--He believed Job, and Job believed God. And God said His servant was a perfect man. There was nothing wrong with Job, because he believed in His God.

L-17 And so, that's the way it is tonight, those who desire to see God must come with a perfect heart, with all strange feelings set aside, with all malice towards their neighbor set aside, with all malice towards other churches, and other individuals, and forms of worship. You must come with that perfect heart. "Could I see You, Lord Jesus? Now, I'm...?... take all my superstitions away, and I am going to seek tonight, to see the Lord Jesus." Now, I hope that your intention, every one of you.
And I believe, that if you come with that kind of an intention, that God is under obligation to reveal Himself to you. Don't you believe that? That God is under obligation to reveal Himself to you here tonight.

L-18 Now, it wouldn't be any strange thing to people, if we talked about the Lord Jesus after His promise said that He would reveal Himself to us. Couldn't we see Him?
Someone said not long ago, a little boy, he was away to a school. And he asked his preacher; he said, "Could anybody see God?" And the little...
The preacher said, "Why, no one could see God." Said, "The Bible says that no can see God and live."
And then another one... He went to his Sunday school teacher, and his Sunday school teacher said, "Why, certainly not, sonny, no one could see God and live." And everyone was discouraging telling that no one could see God.
One day, while he was down on the river, he was with an old fisherman. And the old fisherman was pulling his boat and weeping because he was looking at a rainbow.
He said, "Sir, can anyone see God?"
The old fisherman must be so full of God, until he said, "Sonny, all I've seen in the past thirty-five years, has been God."
