<TITLE>08. Par 32-36</TITLE>L-32 Otherwise Jesus with His own Words said, "I don't do one thing within Myself, but I watch. And what the Father shows Me, I go do it." Is that right? "Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise."
Now, a woman one time touched His garment and run out into the crowd. Her faith was so great, He turned around and picked her out in the crowd and said, "Thy faith has saved thee. Your blood issue stops and it's all over." See? And many...
We watch the way He worked: just as the Father would show Him, no credit to Himself, but what the Father did. He come to do the Father's will. Now, that's the type of ministry He had. Now, listen.

L-33 He said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me (That's the believer.). The world (the unbeliever) won't see Me no more," cause He'd be gone. That settles it. Said, "The world will see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me. For I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." That's--that's His own words. Is that right?
Now, friends, that's either right or it is wrong. Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." And if it is right, He's obligated to His Word. And if it isn't right, then the Scripture, the Bible is not a Book to be trusted. To me, it's either black or white. It's right or wrong. And I am so thankful that I have found that It's perfectly right.

L-34 For He has raised from the dead. He's living... Now, watch. You say, "Well, of course we believe He raised from the dead." What did He say? "The things that I do, shall you do also." Is that cor--correct, you ministers? "The things that I do shall you do also. Even greater..." The word greater, any of you scholars know the right interpretation there is more. He couldn't do anything greater. He stopped nature, raised the dead, and everything else. Any more greater in quality but in quantity. "More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father." Is that right? "These same things that I do, you shall do them also."

L-35 Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He's obligated to that Word, isn't He? In the beginning of His ministry here, He was... I can think of that morning when He was standing by the--this lake here. His--His ministry had just started. He become popular. Little crowds of people were gathering around Him. And some miracles had happened. And He'd go to a city and heal a man, walk right out of the city where the father showed Him and go somewhere else. And whatever the father showed Him...
In this day He'd...?... group of fishermen. Peter, James, John had been fishing. Perhaps, they'd been told before by the others this wonderful Person Jesus of Nazareth. And they'd seined all night through the--the lake. And they were fishermen. Perhaps we will for the sake of drama, that it was along in April when fishing's good.

L-36 And they were seining this thing through there. And they were fisherman. They knowed just the kind of weather you're supposed to have and for the stars and moon and so forth. All the calendar was given to them by instinct. They knowed when fish was running and when they wasn't. And they'd seined all night through this lake and had taken nothing.
My, that's a discouraging thing, to fish all night and get nothing. And the next morning they was discouraged and setting down washing their nets. And down along the bank comes this lovely, lonely Galilean, despised and hated by the churches, yet the Prince of peace.
