<TITLE>20. Par -</TITLE>E-44k      Am I looking at Sister Smith, setting out here? Is that Brother and Sister Smith? God bless you, Sister Smith: dying with a cancer just recently. I just recognized... You're from Tulsa, the--you write that magazine. Didn't you meet me when I went into Minneapolis here, a few weeks ago, for your wife who was laying at the point of death at Mayo's? So glad to see you, Sister Smith. How you feeling? Glad. God bless you. All right. It's amazing grace, isn't it?
Now, when Jesus was here on the earth, did He claim to be a healer? How many would say He did claim to be a Healer? No, He didn't. He said, "It's not Me that heals; not Me that doeth the works, it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." Is that right? "A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet you'll see Me; for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." He did not claim to heal anybody. He did not claim, say, "Bring Me that guy; I'll show you I'm a healer." No. Here's what He said. "I can do nothing in Myself, but what I see the Father doing, that doeth the Son, likewise." How many knows that that's the Scripture? Now, if that isn't right, none of the rest of the Bible's right. That's Saint John 5:19: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself."

E-44m      He was being criticized by, a man packing his bed on the Sabbath day. No doubt a big bunch of cripples down there, He passed through great multitudes who was lame, blind, halt, and withered--went right by them, never healed them. Went right on over and found a man laying on a little old pallet and had prostate trouble or something; wasn't going to hurt him; wasn't going to kill him, he'd had it thirty-eight years. So He said, "Will thou be made whole?" Now, remember, He--Jesus knew that he was there, knew that he'd been in this condition. When they questioned him about the rest of them and whatever they questioned Him of, He said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son." Is that right? Then according to Jesus' own words, before He could do anything, the Father showed Him a vision first on what to do.

E-44n      Look at the resurrection of Lazarus. He went away. Lazarus had been dead four days. He said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth."
They said, "He doeth well."
He said, "He's dead. And for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there." See, the Father sent Him away. When He got back to the grave, listen at Him: said, "Father, I thank Thee Thou hast already heard. But I say it for these who stand by: Lazarus, come forth," and a man that'd been dead four days, stood on his feet and lived again. The Father had showed Him.
Take any Scripture you want to in the Bible and see if it don't bank right with every other Scripture, tie in. The Bible doesn't say, "This here, and this here," and contradict Itself. There's no contradictions in the Bible. They every one run exactly right. Jesus said, "Nothing could be done less My Father..."
