<TITLE>11. Par 103-114</TITLE>L-103 Way over here in the 17th chapter, he said, "Lo..." Just before He went away into glory, he said, "Lo, now Thou speakest plainly, and not in riddles," or in proverbs and so forth.
See, they'd say, "Now, He said this?"
Nicodemus, when he was talking with Him, said, "How could a man be born again?"
He said, "Except a man be born of water, all these things, how can it be?" They couldn't understand. He said, "That Man talks in mystery." Nobody understood it. Even His own mother didn't understand Him.
He was a hard Man to understand because He was of God, and their mind was of the world. So He made it altogether different then. A mind of the world against the--the--the inspiration of God, why, it's foolishness. But the strange thing, that He had power to do what He says He'd do. That's where it got them. And He could do things that other men couldn't do.

L-106 So then He said, "Now, a little while, and the world won't see Me no more, yet you shall see Me." Now, listen at this, "Yet ye shall see Me." The "ye," who was He talking to? Believers. Is that right? He said, "Ye shall see Me. For I (not someone else), for I will be with you, even in you, to..." the end of the apostles?" To how long? "The end of the world." All the way through, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, "I go away. I'll pray the Father; He will give you another Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost." "I," personal pronoun, which was the body. "I go away. I pray the Father, before I go; the Father is in Me. And He will send you another comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. He's in Me now. When He comes, He will reprove the world of sin. And the very same things that I do, shall you do. Now, I want you to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature."
The Gospel's the demonstration of the power of God. See? The one Gos... Paul said, "The Gospel come not in word only, but through power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost."
"Now, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. Lo, I am with you always, even..." to the end of the apostles? No. I mean, "To the end--end of the world. A little while and the world won't see Me no more." They'll criticize It and make fun of It, just like they do now, He said. "But ye, the believer, shall see Me; for I'll be with you, even in you, all the way to the end of the world." I'd like to see somebody rub that away? "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." "The very things that I do, you'll do also."

L-110 Now, that's either right or it's wrong. And if it's right, It'll make it right. And I could prove it right here, this morning, that it is right, by God's grace, doing the same things that He did then.
Now, the world stands by, and say, "Ha, the man's lost His mind. He's crazy. That ain't nothing. Them people's just worked up." See? 'Cause that's the world. Oh, you may have a big name, but that don't have nothing to do with it. What about up there? See? All right. Now, we believe it to be the same.

L-112 Then, the disciples, they wondered. They said, "O Lord, where goest Thou? Oh, I--I... Where, where is it You're going, and we can't go with You?"
And this 14th chapter of Saint John, He explained, and He said, "I go to My Father's house, for in there is many mansions. I'll go and prepare a place for you. I'll come again to get you, someday and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." And the--and He said, "The things that I do shall you do also."

L-114 Thomas looked at Him, or Philip, rather, and said, "Lord, show us the Father. Who--Who is this Father You're going to?"
He said, "Why, I've been so long with you. You don't know Me?" He said, "When you see Me, you seen the Father. The Father is in Me. Believe that I and the Father are one. Or, believe Me for the very work's sake, that the Father's in Me. It's not Me that doeth the works; it's the Father that's in Me, doeth the works."
