<TITLE>18. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Now Philip came to Him one time and got saved, and He went and found Nathanael under a tree. I've quoted this for two nights. I don't know why I come back to it. We could just keep going through the Scriptures, so many places. You Bible readers know that. But when he walked in the presence of Jesus... This seems to be a key note right here. When he walked in the presence of Jesus, Jesus said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you when you were under the tree." That's thirty miles around the mountain. How did He see him thirty miles around the mountain?
What did this man say? "Thou art the Son of God." That was the Jewish attitude. I mean the real believer Jew. "Thou art the King of Israel."
He said, "Because I told you this, you believe?" Said, "You'll see greater than this."

L-58 Many times He told the people who they were when they come to Him. He knowed where a fish was, had a coin in his mouth. He knowed where two mules was hitched at, where two ways met. Many things as the Father would show Him... A woman touched His garment, and went out, and set down, or stood up, or wherever she was. Jesus said, "Who touched Me?"
Peter said, "All of them's touching You."
He said, "But I felt My strength go out of Me--virtue." And He looked around, and He found the woman, and He told her she had a blood issue. And He said, "Thy faith has saved thee. I never done it. I never seen no vision. But your faith has saved you." Is that right? "Your faith!" And she fell down at His feet and confessed all.

L-59 Now, she touched Him. Do you believe you could touch Him tonight? If Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He's got to have some way to touch Him. And the Bible said that He's the High Priest--Hebrews. He's the High Priest of our confession. He can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, not, "He was," "He is!" You can touch Him the same way.
Now, if He has risen from the dead, He's the same in principle, the same in power, the same in attitude; He's just the same Jesus or this Bible is wrong, and I'm a false witness, and these ministers are false witnesses, and your testimony is false.

L-60 There is hundreds of religions. And Brother Cook setting here, thank you for your book, Brother Cook. I was looking at it awhile ago. Was sent to my room. Thirty Seven Years In India. He could tell you something about false religions by the hundreds, denying Christ. But there's only one of them and that's the religion of Jesus Christ can prove that He is a living, not by psychology, not by emotion. We clap our hands and shout and so does the Mohammedans, so does the Buddhists.
The Mohammedans work themselves in such a frantic, till they can take splinters and run through their fingers, don't even feel it. Take a lance at the feast of the prophets, run through their nose, and up through their heads like this, and draw it back... Take a spear...
Standing right there and Lausanne, Switzerland, and took a spear--or a sword and run it through him like this, and had a doctor there to examine it, and poured water on this end and it run out the other end and pulled it back through his heart without bleeding a drop, frenzy, worked up. That's right. But they can't heal. They can't take away sin. They can't prove the resurrection. They can prove psychology, but not resurrection.
