<TITLE>07. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 When Jesus was here on earth, the woman that came to Him at the well, she could be a correct witness. She went to the Man, and she saw Him with her own eyes, and she heard Him with her own ears tell her something that He--She knew that no man knowed nothing about, that she was staying or had five husbands. And she was a true witness, when she went into the city of Samaria to tell the people there what had happened.
The woman who had a blood issue, she was a witness that He was the Son of God. When she said within her heart, "He is Divine. He's not a human in one sense of the word, for He is a virgin born, and if I can touch His garment, something in me tells me that I'll be made every whit whole," and she touched His garment. She felt something. In her heart she says, "It's gone," and she noticed the blood issue had stopped. She was a witness.

L-23 Lazarus, he had died and had been dead four days. His body was molded. He was in a cold cave--way they bury them in the Orient. Put them in a hole and put the lid over them, like a cellar, small cellar. And they had buried him, and he was dead. His body was corrupted. In four days his nose had already fallen in, but at the banquet that was given, Lazarus was a witness that Jesus can raise the dead.
I'm happy tonight, that there's people here who can witness the same thing. I once was lost, but now I'm found. I was dead, but now I'm alive. A witness of His resurrecting power that can take a vile sinner, and can transform their whole being, and can take their motions, and their ideas, and their thoughts, and change them into a eternal hope, that rests upon the ability of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ... Amen. And can take a cancer-ridden dying man or woman and raise them to health again... That's a true witness that He can raise from the dead.
For I was once dead in sin and trespass; and you were once dead in sin and trespasses. And we who were once dead in sin and trespasses has he quickened us. And the word "quick" means "resurrect" from our old forms of life to a new and living hope that lies within our hearts, waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus the second time in glory. How happy we should be for this great hope that lies within us, and to be able to give a answer to every man that would ask us of this hope that lies within us.

L-24 Many was witnesses of His day. And at His cross when He was dying, the Pharisees, they should know what the Word said. The Word gave witness when He was killed on... He was a Passover Lamb, killed at the Passover time. He gave witness. The Word spoke of Him. When He healed the sick, when He raised the dead, when the lame leaped like an hart, It was the Word. Oh, my. Can you receive it?
It was the Word giving witness that this is He Who's been promised to the world, the Saviour, the Messiah. It gave witness to His Deity, that He was more than a man. The night that the seas hushed itself and rocked away like a crying baby hushes in its mother's arms. When He said, "Peace, be still." it was giving way, nature testifying that He is Deity, none other than the Creator Himself, not a mere man, not a prophet, but God manifested in flesh. He was God.
