<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 And now, what we want to look at then, if Jesus has raised from the dead, can we see Him? "Sirs, we would see Jesus." 
Now there's only one way to do, and that's go and see what kind of a Person we would look for. If you were going tonight to see Jesus, if Jesus was in Charlotte tonight, what type of Man would you look for? Would you go and look for some fellow that was way up in some great high cathedral with real priestly looking clothes on--walk out? Would that be the kind of Jesus you was looking for? If it is, He is certainly changed since He was here on earth the last time, for He dressed just like ordinary man. He went in among men, in and out among men, and they didn't even know Him because He looked so common like other men; there was nothing in Him conspicuous about the Lord Jesus to look at Him. He would do a certain thing; that's the only way they'd know Him, by His miracles and the sign that He did on the road from Emmaus, after His resurrection. Do you see it? Cleopas and his friend was walking with Him after His resurrection, and He was so plain, yet, until they didn't recognize Him until He done a certain thing like He used to do it before He was crucified, they recognized it to be Him. You see it?

L-28 Notice, He is not a man of great swelling vocabulary of words. He didn't overdo the thing. And I'm going to give you a little between the lines, if you can receive it. Scholars today are all turned around: "This Greek word means this and that word means that." You know why? They are trying to make the Bible through the highest sphere of the Greek or the Hebrew, when Jesus didn't speak His words big like that. The Bible said, "The common people heard Him gladly."
We're supposed to speak English. And when I went to England a--that--I need an interpreter there worse than anywhere I ever went in my life. I got with those Cockneys and Oxford groups and I--I... Was talking way down here in their throat; I--I couldn't understand what they were saying. The man trying to tell my how to go to the Abbey. Now, I--I need an interpreter.

L-29 You see, there's so much difference, even between the north and south here in America. I call from Houston, Texas, to up in New York and the little Southern girl with her talk and the northern girl with her talk, they had to break it up somewhere between here to get somebody to interpret for them, right here in America. Sure. They couldn't understand each other.

L-30 And Jesus talked with such simple language with the simple people and was written likewise, and they're trying to but those great big swelling, outstanding hold-on-for-dear-life as I call it words in it, and they miss it. So it was wrote simple. Correct. So simple as it was to bring the Gospel to the poor and needy. Amen. That's what makes Him great to me. But a guy sticks his chest out and thinks he's somebody, that shows how little he is to me. That's right. The more simpler you can get, the higher God will raise you. Just be simple.
That's what's the matter with American people. That's the reason we can have a service in Africa, India, and tens of thousands would be healed at once, but oh, we got it all figured out: Dr. Jones or (I say, "The Dr. Jones," forgive me, brother), but see, he said it was this and other Dr. So-and-so of our church said it was mental telepathy, and this..." That's the reason you can't get nowhere. See? It's... Oh, you'd make it so a complicated when the Gospel is so simple, it's just believe Him. That's all. Christ said so, that's "It's mine, He gave it to me. I take Him at His Word." Well, that's how it--how simple it is.
