<TITLE>12. Par 122-133</TITLE>L-122 "It's I," He said. "Be not afraid. It's I." But they was a scared of it, afraid to take His Word for it. He said, "It's... Don't be afraid. It's I." Jesus asked them if they had any fish.
They said, "No." Said, "We've toiled all night." And they come to the shore and found fish, cooked and laying ready for them, knowed that by that miracle, it was Him.

L-124 Two more, as they run on the road to Emmaus. Listen closely now as we're closing. On the road to Emmaus one day after the resurrection, there was two: one Cleopas, and his friend. A beautiful sabbath morning like this, the first beautiful Easter... Closely now, observe the Word. Get ready.
And as they was observing the first Easter, downhearted, discouraged, because a disappointment had come...
There may be man and women here today, that's observing this Easter because of some disappointment, something take place. But just remember, the Lord Jesus is up from the grave today. He's living among people.

L-127 Many times, when I was in school, we studied botany. I've always studied botany. Botany, to me, is not plant life, so much; to look at how the plant's raised up, and how the sun comes, and so forth. Botany, to me, is the One Who created it, is the Maker Who made the plant to grow. Oh, how beautiful those Easter flowers. Look at them. Oh, my. The pretty flowers that sets around, no one could look in the face of one and say there is no God and be mentally right.

L-128 And here they are, discouraged now, going back home. "Well, we started out. We thought it would be all right, but we have to go back home now, they--on the road back over to Emmaus," And as they walked along, discouraged, their conversation was right. They were talking about Him. That's when He appeared.
And that's the reason He doesn't appear to the so many of us today, our conversations is talking about everything else but Christ. We're always talking about when we're going to get the work done, or what we're going to do here. Let your conversations be on Christ. That's when He appears, is when you talk about Him. Be speaking about Him.
And they were going along and speaking about Him. Yet they loved Him, they didn't know that He'd raised from the dead.
And many people today, who really love the Lord Jesus, out in these great churches throughout the world, they love the Lord, but they don't really know that He's risen from the dead.

L-133 Notice. As he went along, a stranger stepped out of the bushes and greeted them, "Good morning," perhaps. And them, all sad, broken up, saying, "Oh, I loved Him. I seen Him stand by the grave of Lazarus, when a man had been dead four days, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth.' Oh, how could that Man ever fail? How could He ever let us down like this? And now we stand in shame and disgrace. We're going back home to start up our fishing and carpentering again." See?
Isn't that just the modern Christian today? Oh, let the healing take place, and they're shouting the victory. Let the power of the Holy Spirit fall, and they're shouting the victory. And those who are really filled with the Holy Ghost, remains that way down through life's journey. But the man that's still walking with the carnal mind, let a little discouragement come up, something go wrong, and they go away, saying, "Well, I thought it was all right, but, oh, my, look at it now. I thought that little church would never fail. I thought this person..." You got your mind on the wrong thing. See? Put your mind on Him that can't fail. Let your conversation not be about your church, but about your Lord. That's the One. Not about your neighbor, but about your Lord, let your conversations be of Him.
