<TITLE>19. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 Now, watch. And when He comes by this man, He seen him, said, "Will thou be made whole?"
He said, "Sir, I have no one to put me in the water, when somebody can outrun me." Said, "When I'm coming down, somebody gets ahead of me." Some people with only toothaches, and so forth, they could outrun the real badly afflicted.
And He said, "Take up your bed and go into your house." And the man picked up his bed, throwed it on his shoulder, and went walking on. He was questioned. If Jesus passed through this city today and done that very same act, He'd be questioned again. But the world knows its own. That was Jesus yesterday. Now, watch Him.
And when He comes down there, Saint John 5:19... Now, get the 19th verse in your 5th chapter. And Jesus under question, what did He say? Now, listen: "Verily, verily (That's absolutely, absolutely.), I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what I see the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise." Is that right?
How could a man have the audacity to call himself a divine healer when Jesus Christ didn't even claim to be a divine healer? He said, "I can do nothing in Myself." Now, that's either the truth or it isn't the truth. He said, "I only do as the Father shows Me. I do nothing of My own will, or nothing Myself. The Father don't impress it on Me; He shows Me what to do." Is that right? "I do nothing..." Have you got it, Saint John 5:19? "I do nothing on Myself, but what I see the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, I worketh hitherto." In other words, "I just act out in drama what the Father shows Me to do. I just go do it."

L-57 Look at grave of Lazarus. "Father, I thank Thee..." Why did He leave Lazarus' house and go away? They sent for Him to come. He just kept on going. Your pastor would do that, you'd--you'd oust him out in the next deacon meeting. But, you see, He went on. And when... He said He knew God had told Him. Now, Jesus either told the truth or He didn't tell the truth. He said He done nothing till the Father showed Him first what to do. He saw it in a vision first, and the Father showed Him. He did nothing else but what the Father showed Him. And the Father had showed Him when He was away the certain amount of time was out, he said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth, but I'm going to wake him. I'm glad for your sake I wasn't there 'cause if you'd ask Me to pray for him, I'm going against the will of God. I'm going to wake Him up. He has to be buried and lay there four days 'fore I can wake him up." in other wise. He knew it. And when He stood by the grave, He said, "Father, I thank Thee Thou hast already heard Me, but I say it for these who stand around. Lazarus, come forth." That was all was necessary. He did it because the Father had showed Him what to do.

L-58 Now, here it is, friend. Jesus said (Now, listen close; we're going to pray.), "He that believeth on Me (Saint John, I believe about the--the 14th chapter and the 7th verse) He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he also. More than this will he do, for I go unto My Father." Is that what He said? "These signs shall follow them that believe. A little while and the world (the cold formal world, after His physical being be taken away), they won't see Me no more. No matter what happens, they won't see Me. But yet ye shall see Me." Now, there's going to be a "world" till He comes and there's going to be a "ye'" till He comes. "Ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, I will be in you; I'll be doing the same thing that I done here on--when I was in My own flesh. I'll be in yours doing the same thing to the end of the world," then Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
