<TITLE>13. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 Now, he said, "I kicked the ground with my feet and changed the subject. The man was smarter than I." Said, "I made a promise to God, if He'd let me live I'd come see you." He said, "Brother Branham, with all the fanaticism," said, "I've got--I've got enough degrees to plaster that wall." Said, "When I got my B.A., I thought surely Christ would be in that. He wasn't." Said, "When I got my D.D., I thought surely I'd find Christ, but I didn't." He said, "Has the teachers been wrong?"
I said, "I wouldn't want to say that. I'm not in position to say that, sir." I said, "I would not want to say that, making a crutch to support my ignorance." I said, "I would not want to say that." But I said, "They have ended with a period, when they should've ended with a comma. Their theology's all right, plus what God can add to it. You're teachings, the schools that you're from is fine. Every school, seminary, hospital, everything, it would be--it would be bad to try to deny those helps and those things. But what they need is not to be criticized. They need help, and they need warriors, someone who will stand out abreast, and believe God, and accept Him, and take Him at His Word, and prove to the world that the Lord Jesus... He's longing and looking for such."

L-55 And how many times have you, many times like those in my last reading, coming from Emmaus, have you walked with Him and didn't know it? It's a beautiful Easter morning. The first morning, first Easter, Jesus was alive, abroad in the world. (I'm closing now.)
I want to ask you something. Two that loved Him walked with Him and didn't know it. Who got you out of that sickbed not long ago, that you give all the praise to the doctor? You should've shook his hand and said, "Thank you, doctor, for you kindness, but it was Christ."
Who kept you from that accident? You might've praised your driver, no doubt but what his--his quick mind, his intellects work swiftly to know how to swing the wheel at once. That might've kept you, but it was Christ. It was Christ. Certainly it was.

L-56 Who was it during the time of the depression, and when you had no flour in the barrel, and the kiddies were needing, some kindhearted neighbor come and give you something to eat? You thanked him. You should. But it was Christ working in man. You didn't realize it.
Many times they fail to do that. These men failed to see it. They were lovers of Christ. And they walked with a sad heart, broken hearted, because they thought the Messiah that they had believed in was in vain, and He was dead and gone, not knowing that that was Him walking by them.

L-57 Now, notice. He appeared to them. I want to give you just a little lesson here, if you'll pardon the expression. When did Jesus appear to those people? When they were talking about Him. The Bible said they were talking about Him.
Now, Jesus will not come into your Presence when you're carrying on with your rock-and-roll, and boogie-woogie, and all that stuff there. I don't care what church you belong to, Jesus don't come in those conversations. He don't dwell among those kind of things, so change your conversation. If you want to see Him, do as they did: meditate on Him. Let your conversations be upon Him and His resurrection, for He has risen from the dead.
