<TITLE>10. Par 42-46</TITLE>L-42 Greater is only promised to those who believe what is light to walk in it. So if you refuse light, there's only one thing left, is darkness. See? So while it is light...
We notice Him. He didn't claim to be a healer when He passed through Bethesda, and all those crippled, and lame people laying there. He never healed a one of them. Went up to a man laying on a little pallet as it was, or quilt, or something laying there. He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
Now, the Bible said Jesus knowed that he was there, and knew he had been that way for thirty-eight years. Now, that's the Jesus of yesterday, isn't it? He knew that he had been that way thirty-eight years. He said, "Will thou be made whole?"

L-43 Why not that man blind, lame, halt, withered as He passed through that pool? Why didn't He make all them whole? He explains it in 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: and what the Father doeth, He showeth the Son." See what I mean?
When the woman touched His garment, He never said, "I healed thee." He said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Her faith in Him is what made it right.

L-44 The apostle Peter and his shadow passing over the sick never healed them, not the shadow. But their faith in the apostle, it was their point of contact to get to God.
Now, Jesus when He was here on earth, promising these things... Now, look. The very things He did, He never claimed to heal anybody. He only claimed to do as the Father showed Him by vision. But He was possessed with a power that we all know, that He would look into the audience when He was standing, and He would say a certain thing to a person.
Like for instance, the woman that touched His garment. Something went away from Him. There's some way that He knowed that something had happened. I--I hope we see this now.

L-45 Jesus had some power; let's just say it that way. Jesus, this--the Redeemer to redeem us back to what we was before Adam's transgression... When He was here on earth as an example Son of God from the first indwelling of the Holy Spirit... And after He could bring many children to God. When He was here, He was possessed with a power that when a certain person had faith, He could turn to the audience and call who they was.
A woman touched His garment. It satisfied her. She run back into the audience. She felt that her blood issue was going to be all right then. So she stood back in the audience, standing out there.

L-46 Jesus turned around, looked around through the audience. Said, "Who touched Me?" He necessarily didn't have to say, "Who touched Me?" He could've found her anyhow. So He just looked around over the audience, said, "Who touched Me?" She stood just as innocent looking. He said, "Thy faith has saved thee." See, see? That was Jesus of yesterday.
Now, I want to ask you something. When He was here on earth, that's the kind of a life that He lived. That's the kind of a work that He did, the works of the Father. He said, "If I come to do the will of God, and I do the will of the Father..." He come to fulfill it as the old days, the Word of God. And God was in Him, fulfilling His desire to the people.
