<TITLE>21. Par 52-53</TITLE>L-52 And I can see Him pull His little shoulders up, said, "I am the Resurrection and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord: I believe that You are the Son of God, that was to come into the world." Something's got to happen. Brother, them thoughts are moving together. There's faith met the--met its course there, right in that Man there, the resource, the God of heaven standing there, inveiled in flesh. There's that woman standing there with perfect faith in Him. And the wheels are moving together. "I know that whatever You ask God, God will give it."
He said, "I'm the Resurrection and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die. You... Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord. I believe that You are the Christ the Son of God, that You confess to be, that was to come into this world."
He said, "Where have you laid him?" Amen.
Brother, something's got to take place when the believer gets in contact with his Maker. Something takes place. Amen. Something's got to take place.
There He goes to the grave. He started weeping as He went down.

L-53 All due respect to this...A woman was talking to me sometime ago. She said, "Reverend Branham, you brag too much about Jesus." Now, she was a Christian Science. And they don't believe that the Blood of Jesus Christ... They just accept Him to be a prophet, not Divine.
And I said, "I believe He was Divine."
She said, "Oh, you brag too much on Him."
I said, "How could I brag too much on Him?"
Said, "You make Him Divine. You make Him God."
I said, "He was God." Amen. God was manifested in the flesh. He was Emmanuel. I said, "He is either Almighty God inveiled in a body called His Son, the Lord Jesus, or He's the biggest deceiver the world ever had." I said, "He was God."
She said, "No, no, no. He wasn't Divine."
I said, "He was Divine."
She said, "I'll prove to you by the Scriptures that He wasn't Divine."
I said, "If you can do it by the Scriptures, I'll believe you."
And she said, "I'll tell you why, He's not Divine." Said, "In the 11th chapter of Saint John, when He went down to the grave of Lazarus, He wept." And said, "A Divine person cannot weep, that He cannot. He was not Divine. He was weeping when He went to the grave of Lazarus. What about that?"
I said, "Woman, your argument is thinner than the broth made out of the shadow of a chicken that starved to death." I said, "You ain't got no leg to stand on there." I said, "He did weep. I'll admit that. He wept when He went to the grave. But when He straightened His little body up there, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And a man that'd been dead for four days and nights come to life again, corruption knew its Master, and the immortal being, a soul that had been four day's journey out somewhere knew its Master, and returned back. And a man stood on his feet and lived again." Amen. He was a Man when He was crying, but He was God when He raised the dead. Amen. God was in His Son, reconciling the world to Himself. Yes, sir.
