<TITLE>07. Par 18-20</TITLE>L-18 About that time Jesus turning His lovely head, His great soft eyes looking over there, He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile." That shook him.
Said, "Me?"
Said, "How'd you know Me, Reverend or Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree I saw you." There's the example of Christianity. That's right.
He met a woman at the well and sent the disciples away. Went into the city to buy some food, some vittles, and while they were away Jesus knowing that the woman would come, because He said, "He did nothing accept the Father showed Him."...
From Jerusalem He goes straight out of Jericho, but He went up the way of Samaria. Wonder why. He had need to go by Samaria. I wonder why.
Got up there, set on the well, and the woman come out to draw the water. And He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "Why, it's not customary for Jew's to ask Samaritans such."
Said, "But if you knew Who you were speaking to you'd ask Me for a drink, and I'd give you waters that you didn't come here to draw."
"Why," she said, "the well is deep," and so forth.
He said, "Go, get your husband," right straight to the point. "Go, get your husband. That's what your trouble is."
She said, "I haven't got any husband."
"That's right. You got five."
"Why," she said, "I perceive that You're a prophet, Sir." She said, "I know when Messiah cometh He can do these things, but Who are You."
He said, "I am He that speaks with you." Amen.

L-19 There's the sign of Christianity. There's the faith that they had. There's the example.
Why, she run into the city. Jesus come in, never performed any miracles or done any of His signs. He just talked to the people. They said, "We believe You. We believe you. Not because the woman said if you knowed the secret of her life, but--but because we heard you talk, we believe you. That's the reason we..." Watch what happened a little later on to that city.
Jesus went on. Notice, that's the kind of a life He lived. He passed through the pool of Bethesda, by the pool, rather, where a great multitude of impotent folk lay, lame, halt, blind, withered.

L-20 Now, look. Do you believe Jesus had compassion? He was full of love. But it's just like the people sometimes, in love. They forget what kind of love they're talking about. The Phileo love and the Agapao love: one... Both of them is love, but one's love above, and the other is love here on earth.
As I was talking to a reporter today, I said, "The--the love down here, the human love would make you shoot a man on account of your wife, but the love that comes from above would make you pray for his lost soul." Quite different. See? One of them is a love down here on this level, human love, and the other is the love that comes from above.
And in compassions that looks out upon the crowd and say, "Oh, won't You heal this person. And he's sick. He's in such a need. This is a good man. We know him. Heal his little baby. Look," that's human compassion. But real (Here it is.), real Divine compassion is to do the will of Him that sent you to do it.
