<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 Now, these Greeks had heard of Him. So they come up to see Him. They wanted to understand Who He was. They said, "Sirs, we would see Jesus," told Philip that, and Philip went and told Andrew, and finally they got to the place where they could see Jesus.
Now, I wonder that tonight in the... We realize this, and we're all aware of it, dear friends, that this world, all over, has the both pro and con. It has the real, genuine, sainted person of God. And it has people who tried to impersonate saints. It has real, genuine neighbors, and it has some who try to impersonate neighbors. It has people who are real drivers of cars, and some who try to think they're drivers of cars. And it's a pro and con.

L-18 Now, there is tonight a real Lord Jesus Christ. That's just as true as this Bible is true. And now, if we'll just look into the Bible, just for a few moments... And if these promises He made, if He will keep those promises... When the Word was written two thousand years ago, and we see them tonight, those promises unfold before us, then there's nothing but to believe with all your heart that He is the risen Son of the living God. That He...
Now, I've heard some great promises. I've heard of Buddha, Mohammed, and lot of those founders of different religions. I've stood at their graves. But there never was one that ever raised up but the Lord Jesus.
Now, when I was in India, they said, "Oh, this one raised, that one raised, this was a virgin birth, and that a virgin birth. Oh, we..."
I said, "You can't... You're trying to compare the ridiculous with the sublime. You can't prove that." I said, "But I can prove to you that the Lord Jesus has raised from the dead, and is alive right now." Yes, sir.
Then should not we be the happiest people. No wonder we can feel the way we do tonight. No wonder our hearts can beat like a butterfly in there flopping. Because it's the truth.

L-19 And I'm looking at my audience tonight, some young, with their black hair, and some old and gray. And it won't be long till the young will be old. It just doesn't take but just a few turns of the sun. And what is it? This life goes away just like a myth, like a story that's told, says the Scriptures. But then, if--if we have the blessed promise that God will raise us up again, and make us perfect, then what's the worry? Why, we're should be happy, above all things.
Now, the only just way that we could do. If I could say this... If Jesus Christ, God's Son, will come to this building tonight, and will prove to you that He's risen from the dead, that He is right here in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Madison Square Garden Building, what a challenge.
Not... I don't mean something mentally worked up, some psychology; I mean the Lord Jesus, in His Spirit. Now, He don't--won't come in His corporal body. If He does it's all over. He might come in a corporal body before this meeting ends. If it does, praise be to God. We'll go in the rapture, and we'll be with Him.
