<TITLE>06. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 And then when they brought someone to Him, He talked to him... And He saw a woman at the well; He begin to speak with her awhile. He didn't know what her trouble was, the Father just told Him to go up, instead of going straight to Jericho, go up around Samaria. It's way up on the hill, it's different. So He went up around Samaria, set down, and sent His disciples away, according to what the Father had showed Him. And He set there and waited till this woman came out. Then when the woman came out, He said, "Bring Me a drink," just to catch her attention. And then, when He begin to talk to her, why, He found where her trouble was; He said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
Said, "You got five."
And she said, "I perceive that You're a prophet. Now, I know when Messiah cometh, He will do this."
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
She ran in to the city, saying, "Come, see a Man Who told me all I ever done."

L-23 And I believe that Philip come up and stood in the meeting, no way at all, for Jesus to know anything about him; he was just standing there. Brought Nathanael up, a stranger, went over, another day's journey somewhere and picked him up, found him praying under a tree. When he come, he stood in the audience of the people, and Jesus looking around, like that, seeing the people. He looked out till He found Nathanael (first time He'd ever seen him in His pilgrimage) and He said, "Behold, an Israelite, in whom there is no guile." in other words, an honest man; truthful.
He was astonished, the little Israelite, and he said, "Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree. I saw you." My, that--that sure shook him, didn't it?
He said, "Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."

L-24 Jesus said, "The things that I do, shall you do also; even more than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father." I know the word is "greater" there, but if you'll look at it, it's "more." No one could do greater. He stopped nature, raised the dead, healed the sick, and so forth. "But the very same things that I do, shall you do also; even more than this, for I go to My Father."
He could only be in one place when He was in the body. Now, He can be in the body of believers, completely the world around. And I believe that He's the same yesterday, today, and for ever. May He grant those blessings to us tonight.

L-25 Going back, now, to our text, of "Jehovah-Jireh; The Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice."
Abraham, I just love to speak of Abraham, because it was Abraham to whom the covenant was made. The promise was made to Abraham, and not only to Abraham, but to his Seed after him. Not his seeds, because he had many sons, but only to one seed, which came through Isaac. Through Isaac came Christ. We being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's seed, and are heirs according to the promise.
And I believe, sensibly, that I can prove by the Bible, that the seed of Abraham are those who have been borned again of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'cause Christ lives in the believer. That's right. You have Abraham's Seed when you have the Holy Ghost. That's right. It was through that promise.
And now, that promise wasn't made or give to you by your own goodness; it was God's election and calling that brought you to it, nothing you ever done to merit it. You never sought after God; God sought after you and give it to you on the basis of sovereign grace, nothing in the world that you could do, nothing you could do about it.
