<TITLE>18. Par 50-50</TITLE>L-50 And here stands tonight, the same thing, a woman and a man. And now, the woman just as much strange to me, are we strangers to one another, lady? We don't know each other. I don't know her and she doesn't know me, no more than Jesus knew the woman, or the woman knew Jesus. He's just a Man. Jesus got to talking to her, didn't He? And He said... Did you ever read the story, lady? Said... He begin to talk to her. And as soon as He talked to her, He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "Well, the well's deep." She said...
He said, "But if you knew Who were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." Said, "I'd give you Water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "When do You get this Water and so forth?"
He said, "The Water that I give is Water, springing up into your soul."
And said, "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain. You say at Jerusalem." And the conversation went on for a while. Directly, He found where her trouble was. She had a trouble, didn't she?
And He said, "Go, get your husband." How many of the audience knows that's true?"
"Go, get your husband." He found her trouble. That was her besetting trouble. This woman surely got one tonight, or she wouldn't be here, if it isn't, it'll be told her. See? "Go, get your husband." That was her besetting trouble.
She said, "I don't have any."
Said, "That's right, you got five." Now, listen close now, to you newcomers.
She looked at Him. And she said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know that when the Messiah cometh, He will do these things; He will show us these things." Is that right? Saint John the 4th chapter. Said, "Messiah will do these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He." That was the sign of the Messiah. Is that right? If that was the sign of Messiah before the resurrection, before the crucifixion, rather, it's the same sign of the Messiah after the resurrection, if He's the same. Is that right?
Philip said... Nathanael said to him, "Rabbi, whence knowest Thou me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you when you were under the tree."
He said, "Thou art the Son of God." That was a sign, wasn't it? The Son of God... If that was the sign of the Son of God, Who knew where he come from, or something about him, knowed his trouble, that was the sign of the Son of God today. Is that right?
