<TITLE>08. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 Was that Jesus of nineteen-hundred years ago? That's still Jesus today. That's right. See? Now, what you think the critics of--of Jerusalem said, "Uh-huh, there's that Healer. I seen Him pass right by where they was screaming and crying. If there be anything godly about Him, He'd have made every one whole. Does look that way, doesn't? But you see, every mortal being on this earth can do nothing in himself."
Jesus now, watch Him when they caught this man packing his bed on the Sabbath. The 19th verse, He said,"Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that right? Saint John 5:19. "What He sees the Father doing... For whatsoever the Father doeth, He showeth the Son." And Jesus in the words that we'd know it... Jesus say, "Well, only thing I do, I just see a vision, and I just act out the... I just dramatize what God tells Me to do." Is that right? That's exactly the plain interpretation of it today. Jesus said, Verily, verily I say unto you, I can't do nothing in Myself. The Father, I see a vision of what He's doing, then I go do just what He told Me to do. That's the reason He passed through Bethesda. That's the reason He found this man here, 'cause Father had showed Him of that. Look at the resurrection of Lazarus; look at all the rest of occasions, just the same.

L-26 He possess the power to the... There's a woman one time touched His garment, for she had a lot of faith. She touched His garment. He never felt her, because the apostles said everybody was trying to touch Him, and weaving around over Him, and putting their arms around Him. But a woman touched His garment, stood back out in the crowd. She was satisfied, 'cause that's all she wanted to do was touch His garment. And when she touched His garment, she stood out in the audience; Jesus looked around, said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Right out in the audience. Is that right? "Thy faith has saved thee," and she felt then that the blood issue had stopped--stopped.
A man at the Jericho road... The road runs quite a bit from some...?... from Jericho. A blind beggar setting over there; He never heard Him. But he screamed for mercy. His faith stopped Jesus when He had His face set towards Calvary. Going up there, and the people howling and making fun of Him and everything else...?... But the faith of that beggar stopped Him.
The faith of the weakest, poorest, person in here tonight, will bring Jesus Christ on the scene. It will. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-27 Now, Jesus said, "The things that I do shall you also, even more for I go..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
No matter what He did they still doubted Him and tacked Him on the cross. That's right. God's plan of doing it... That's way God knew it would be that way. There's thousands today that would reject It if It was right before them. Millions would reject it. God already said they would, because "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way; but few there will be that'll find It." That right? But Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, if He rose from the dead, what was the first thing He did? And I'm closing. There was the man on the road to Emmaus, and Jesus walked right out among those men and talked with them all day long on their journey all the way up to Emmaus. You remember the story? And they said, "Now, His teaching seems... He open up the Scriptures in a new way. Why, didn't our hearts burn within us, 'cause we heard Him as He talked along." And then when He got up to Emmaus, He made like He'd go on, just an ordinary man. And they bade Him to come in. And when He... Once they got Jesus on the inside with them, He made Himself known to them. You get what I mean?
