<TITLE>09. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 He was Deity Himself made flesh here on earth to manifest His love to the people and to take away sin of the earth. He came here in order that He could anchor death in His own body, He could anchor sickness in His own body. The curse that ought to have been on you, He took it upon Himself, and had to die as a man in order to redeem you back to this full fellowship with the Father again. What a marvelous thing.
Our--our hearts can't conceive what a thing that was, what He did. But we're too slow. Our minds are sluggish. The--the valves have been stopped up. They've been paralyzed by unbelief, and fear, and doubt. And it can't flow free like it should do it, unless we let the Holy Spirit so dominate our lives till It pushes those valves till life begins to start to operating. See? Then we can see then. Sure, it's the Father.

L-39 Then unconsciously your faith is there. You don't have to worry about whether you got faith enough to do this, or faith enough to do that. It's just there anyhow. You just do it because the Father said so. And it's the living Word in you, and God's in you, manifesting Hisself just like He was in Christ. You say, "As He was in Christ?" Yes, sir.
He said, "The works that I do shall you also; even more than this for I go to My Father." Now, that's His Word, Saint John 14:12. He gave that promise. Everyone will believe that was inspired. And...
"So a little while and the world will see Me no more, yet you shall see Me, for I will be with you until the end of the age of the apostles?" No. "I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-40 What was He when He was here on earth? He was a Man, humble, born lowly in a manger. He had no great, well education as we know of any schools. They wanted to know where He got this wisdom when He come to His own country for His people there said, "What school did He go to? What--what seminary is He from?" They know nothing about it. "Isn't that the carpenter's son out here, a peasant?"
He had no training of man. At the age of twelve with His wisdom was... It--it outstood anything the--the teachers knowed. For there's a difference than having worldly, earthly education and having the power of God to dominate in wisdom...?...
For He has hid it from the educators and revealed it to babes such as will learn. So there's no need of trying to find it through seminaries, and through schools. You'll never do it. It's a hidden mystery that can only be known as God will let it be known. Now, if we see that, and know that that is the truth...

L-41 Now, watch Him just a moment. When we see Him here on earth... A fellow, Philip, come and got saved. He went and told his--his friend, Nathanael. He brought him to the prayer meeting, or whatever they were having, perhaps standing in the audience or wherever it was.
But Jesus looked and fastened His eye on him, or wherever. He might have been in the prayer line or wherever it was. Jesus said, "Behold, there is an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
And he said, "Well, when did You know me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Quite astonishing.
He said, "Why, Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."
He said, "Because I told you that, you believe?" He said, "You'll see greater than this."
