<TITLE>14. Par 58-62</TITLE>L-58 Now, just a few more comments. Another thing, when He appeared they should've recognized Him, because He asked them the questions, "Why are you so sorrowful? Why are you in such a mood?"
"Oh," they said, "You're just a Stranger." See? "You don't know that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. We expected him to be the come--coming Messiah, and the One that Jehovah had promised us." And the conversation... He turned and said, "Fools and slow of heart to believe the Scripture and all things the prophets wrote." See? And He began to explain to them the Scripture.
And any true servant of God, or any anointed of God, will never try to carry you off on some kind of a nonsense of theology, that's just as lifeless as it could be, or some modern day fantastic. They'll stay in the Word, a true servant. And God will dwell...

L-59 Not when you're trying to make oil run from your hands or blood in your face, but when you got a true honest heart before God... Or not when you're arguing that you're a Methodist, or Presbyterian, or a Pentecostal, or Nazarene, not to argue about your points, but when you come to have Christ in your heart and on the Word, to believe. Think on Him. Read the Bible.
The Holy Spirit lives on the Word of God. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the heart--mouth of God." What is the Word? The very thing that God spoke before the foundation... Word give down to the prophets. That's all. It's His spoken Word that He spoke in the beginning.

L-60 Now, watch. As they went along, we could dwell much on that. But I want to ask you something, just a moment. They come to a place at a little inn, just a little hut, the side of the road, which is called an inn going up to Emmaus from Jerusalem, up towards the hill country. And as they stopped at this little inn before they, perhaps got to Emmaus, a little inn, Jesus... Or if we would say today, it was a little restaurant. And as Jesus made as if He would go on by...
Now, He might've act like that to you, when He act like He wasn't going to heal you. He might've act like He was going on by. He wanted to see your emotions. He wanted to know just how much you believed Him.

L-61 But notice Cleopas and his friend, they persuaded Him to come in. I wonder if that's your attitude towards Christ tonight. Persuade Him. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] He will come in. That's what makes Him God to me. I've had the privilege of praying for about four kings. King George of England, as you all know, was healed with the multiple sclerosis.
Big men act little. It's little men that want to act big. See? Those who have nothing, try to put on. Big men are little. Jesus come from the high seat of heaven to take the lowest spot on earth. And God exalted Him above every Angel, Archangel, above every throne.
When He was on earth He was so low till He went to the lowest city and the littlest man of the town had to look down out on Him. And God raised Him so high, till He has to stoop to look over to heaven. See? A throne of... "Thy throne, O Lord..." See? Humble himself, and God will exalt.

L-62 Then when they once shut the doors, and gathered in the room, and perhaps the waiter come in, and they ordered their little dinner, what they were going to have, and he--he step out, Jesus thinks, "This is about the time that I made myself known. We've been talking at length."
And He never comes into a conversation or into a public gathering... And no matter how many, "if wherever two or more are gathered together in My Name, I'll be in their midst." He always likes to make Hisself known. So the way He did it...
Now, watch. The way He did it, He did something there before them that He did before His crucifixion, that no one else did it just like that. No one else could do it just like that. But in the--the peculiarity of Him, when He broke the bread and the way He blessed it, He opened their eyes. And they recognized that it was Him.
