<TITLE>19. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Then Lazarus come down with Jesus. And when He was disputing there, John on one side of the river, and a priest on the other side, saying, "You mean there's coming a time..."
He said, "There'll be a time when the daily sacrifice will be taken away. A man will die for the sins of the people."
And they'll say, "O rabbi, you don't know what you're talking about, John."
John said, "There's," and he looked around, and he said, "behold, there comes the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." "Behold," means "to esteem," or "look up to." He said, over there that how he knew Him, said, "He that told me in the wilderness, upon Whom thou shall see the Spirit descending and remain, He's the One that'll baptize with the Holy Ghost." There was a sign followed the Messiah. There's a sign still follows the Messiah, of the Messiah people. "Signs and wonders," Jesus said, "would follow them to the end of the world." He'd be with them, even in them to the end of the world.
Said, "There comes the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." And Lazarus about fainted, I suppose.
Jesus after He was baptized went into the wilderness and was there for forty days tempted of the devil. And when He come out of the wilderness, my, I looked at that watch, and that's ruined me now, getting so late. Just a minute now for we close.

L-46 Look. When He come out of the wilderness, he come out preaching, doing signs and wonders; His ministry got so great that He was sent away from the home, or I believe God give Him a vision to go away. It proved that God give Him a vision.
When Lazarus got sick, He went away. They sent for Him; He kept on going. They sent for Him again; He kept on going. If your pastor would do that, you'd never go back to that church again. That's the reason the pastor can't do nothing for you. You got to believe Him to be a man of God.
So when He went on and on. After while He knew the Father's time had come, that He'd fulfilled the vision, He said, "Lazarus's dead, and now, for your sake, I'm glad I wasn't there."

L-47 So He come back. And they'd had... Lazarus took sick. They are taught, just kind of a... I don't know whether it's the truth or not, but he died with hemorrhages. Perhaps, the doctor come in, done all they could do. They sent for Jesus; He didn't come. And they left the man, he went on and died. Dark hour. Took the fellow out, embalmed his body, and put him in the cave down in the ground, laid a rock over it, which is the oriental type of burial. Then when they laid him there, the first day passed, the second day, third, fourth day, then the skin wombs was crawling in. The human body, the first thing sinks in is the nose, and after while they begin to decay and rot, and the skin worms, and bugs, and things, crawls in, eats the human body up. Four days, done stinking, after seventy-two hours corruption sets in it.
Then all hopes was gone. There was Martha and Mary, had left their church, give up all they had. There their brother was dead. The Man that they had confidence, being the great Man Who went around and did miracles, He had left them and gone away, wouldn't come when they sent to pray for his brother. The darkest hour, that little family had ever seen... And usually about the darkest hour, that's when Jesus comes around.
