<TITLE>20. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 They say, "Days of miracles is past. He died, rose, went into heaven; that settles it." But He didn't say that. He did ascend to the Father and return back. One man saw Him after He had returned back. You know who it was? Paul. What did He look like? A Light. Is that right? On his road to Damascus... He was a Light that even struck Paul down, blinded his eyes.
The Bible said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus said the works that He did would continue on in the church until He come again. Does the Bible say that? It does. "The works that I do shall ye also; more than this shall you do (more places); for I go unto My Father. I go to My Father and come again. I came from God (the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel.) I came into the world (and the Son called the flesh, or the Son, the flesh called the Son) I return to God," back to the Light again, and appeared over here to Paul and down in... "Doing the same work," God in His church. "That day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, I in you, and you in Me." It's God in you, the hope of glory.

L-70 Now, if Christ has risen from the dead, which we know He has, then He's got to do the same kind of works that He did before He went away or He is not risen from the dead. That's... If He's the same, He's got to be the same in principle, the same in power, the same in attitude, the same in all. That's right. Well, let's watch just a moment. Is there any here that never was in a meeting before, let's see your hands, some strangers? Never was in a meeting, one of my meetings before, let's see your hand, many?

L-71 Now, I want to say to you, last night we took... Tonight was evangelistic call. Friends, Divine healing is just a minor. And you can never major on a minor, as I said. Salvation of the soul is much greater than Divine healing. Divine healing was included in the new--new atonement, because the old atonement had healing in it, and the new one's a much better (See?), than the old. If the old one could furnish healing, what about the new one?
But Divine healing is not on the same basis as salvation. When you're borned again you get an immortal spirit that cannot die. But when you're healed by Divine healing, you will get sick and die again. Lazarus did, and all the rest of them He even raised from the dead. But it's the attribute of His resurrection, and it's the earnest of our resurrection that we will see. God said so. Now, it's in the Bible.

L-72 Now, we took last night what Jesus did when He was here on earth. Not one time did He ever say He healed anybody. He wasn't a healer. He couldn't. Here's one Scripture to settle it. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the work; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." He said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that right? What... Let's follow Him just a moment; let's take one of the Scriptures we used last: Saint John the 1st chapter. When Peter came to Him, He knew Peter's name, knew who his daddy was. Is that right? "Thou art Simon, the son of--of Jonas. But I'll call you Peter from hereafter." Which means "little stone." See?
