<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 It sounds ridiculous to the world, but could you imagine, how ridiculous that scene sound, before we leave it. There was Moses, an old man eighty years old, going down into Egypt, could you imagine, with this old stick in his hand, his wife with two children, one on each hip, setting astraddle of a mule. Here he goes, his head back, smiling, just a rejoicing. Somebody said, "Moses, where you going?"
"I'm going down to Egypt to take over." A one man invasion, going to Egypt. Could you imagine such a thing as that? The world would look and said, "Ridiculous." But the great thing about it, he did it. Why? God said so. No matter how ridiculous it seems and how little, that stick in Moses' hand of faith, with the Word of God behind it, was more than all the armies Pharaoh could produce. Amen.

L-13 So was that little fishes that morning. He gave them to Jesus. And He taken this bread and broke the bread and begin to pass it out, and they'd break a piece of fish and pass it out.
Want to ask you something, audience, what kind of a atom did He let loose then? Not only fish, we know that He was the Creator. Christ is the Creator. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He didn't only break the wheat, but He broke the wheat already cooked and baked. He not only broke the fish, the flesh, but He broke the flesh already cooked and made ready. What atom did He turn loose then, scientist? What accumulated this fish, every time He break off a piece they'd be some more laying there, already cooked and baked? What did He do with the bread when He broke it off and it was already brown, right behind it, out of the oven? Just hand it right out, like that.
That's our God. He's the same Lord Jesus tonight that He was then. But the fish in the little boys hand wasn't much, but in Jesus' hand He fed the five thousand.
Then I noticed, He sent His disciples; He said, "Now, I must go away, so you go ahead and make a ship ready and go over, 'cause we're going to cross the sea."

L-14 And they went out and got the ship ready. But they couldn't wait on Jesus. They went on anyhow. He said, "I'll go send the multitude away and I'll join you." But they went off without Him. They had confidence in their boat. They were probably all fishermen and boatmen, so they knew their boat's all right. So they went away without Jesus, trusting their boats.
And that's what the Church has done today. We've went away with our church, believing it's all right because we got great organizations, great buildings, and we've left Jesus behind. We left Christ out of the Church. Some of us has went off with our pastor and left Jesus. Some of them has went off with the denomination and left Jesus. Some of them went off with the pipe organ and left Jesus. Some of them went off with the building and left Jesus. But leaving Jesus behind, trouble is certain to come.
