<TITLE>12. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 So He is the same Christ tonight. He loves the people. And I trust that this night, that if He will rise on the scene here before you and prove that He is a living... When He was here on earth, for the sake of the newcomers, when He started His ministry, they brought a man and he got saved by the name of Philip. He went and found Nathanael, way around, about five miles in behind a mountain, brought him back around to Jesus. And when he found him, he was under a tree praying.
And when he come up in the crowd, Jesus looked at him, said, "There's an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "How'd You know me, Rabbi (or Reverend, Teacher)?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
The Pharisees said, "You see, He's Beelzebub, the fortuneteller."
But the man the miracle was done on, said, "You're the Son of God, the King of Israel." He knew Him, what a difference.
Those Pharisees are gone on long ago. Nathanael's name is immortal in the Bible tonight forever. And his life is immortal before God. I wonder what attitude you will take?

L-38 One day while passing through, and passing by the Samaria, instead of going down to Jericho He went up around the hill of Samaria. Sent His disciples away, and a prostitute came out to get some water. He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not custom for you Jews to ask Samaritans such; we have no dealings with one another," like the racial now, colored and white, or whatmore.
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. And I'd give you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "The well's deep, and You got nothing to draw with, so where would You get this kind of water?"
He said, "This water I give you is a different water."
The conversation went at length for a long time, till He found what the woman's trouble was. The Father showed Him. He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
He said, "That's right, you got five. Therefore you said right."
Listen to her words now, she said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know that when the Messiah cometh..." Now watch. "We know when Messiah cometh, this will be the sign of Him. We know Messiah will do this, but Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He."

L-39 Now, if that was the sign of the Messiah then, it's the sign of the Messiah now if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. It's got to be. Jesus said, when He passed through the pool of Bethesda where many crippled and afflicted people was... He went till He found one man; the Father showed Him a vision. For He knew, the Bible said so. He went to that man and raised him up, healed him, went away, and left the rest of them there, thousands of people, crippled, lame, halt, blind.
He was questioned by the Jews. If He was here in this city tonight and done the same thing, He'd be questioned. "Let Him go by here and heal so-and-so." See, that same spirit, the one that said, "Turn these stones into bread and perform a miracle, let me see it."?
See, God's works are secret. God's works are understood only by His people. They even thought the res--resurrection of Lazarus was phony. Did you know that? They thought it wasn't so. They even--the Jews today don't even think that Jesus raised from the dead. They hired soldiers to go say, "That they sto--His disciples come at night time and stole His body away."
See, you're trying to scientifically prove something, when you can't. It's by faith, through grace. You believe? God bless you while we pray.
