<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 He was a man when He was crying, but He was God when He raised the dead. That's right. He was a man when He come off the mountain hungry, looking around on the trees to find something to eat. He was a Man when He was hungry, but when He took five biscuits and two little fishes, and fed five thousand cooked, baked, roasted fish and bread, that was more than a Man. What kind of a atom did He turn loose then, brother? Think that out, scientist. It wasn't raw fish. It was cooked fish.
Hallelujah. I might as well turn loose. You're going to call me a holy-roller anyhow, so I just going... That's right. Oh, He holds the atoms in His hand. Sure He does.
He holds all the atoms, and the hydrogen, and everything else. He's a Creator of it. Glory to God. Certainly. Oh, He was a Man. He got tired. Sure. People touched Him, and His visions, and it made virtue go out of Him.
One night He was laying out there on a little old ship so tired, till the stormy sea didn't even wake Him up. I imagine about ten thousand devils of the sea said, "We'll drown Him tonight. We'll swear we'll drown Him. We got Him asleep." But oh, my. That little old ship bouncing around like a bottle stopper out there on that mighty sea, and the devil... The lightning striking and he gleeing and laughing on every wave. He said, "We got Him now. He's asleep."

L-45 Oh, my. Yes, He was tired. He was a Man, but when He pulled the pillow out from under His head, walked out there, and stuck His foot on the brail of the boat, and looked up and said, "Peace be still," that was more than a Man (Hallelujah.) when the winds and the waves obeyed Him.
Oh, it's true at the cross when they nailed His hands, He screamed, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" He died like a man. That's right. But on Easter morning He broke the Roman seal. He rolled away the stone, and He raised from the dead to prove that He was God. "I have power to lay my life down. I have power to take it up again. No man takes it from Me, but I lay it down freely." Glory to God.

L-46 Not only that but two thousand years has passed, and He is still alive, and God! Certainly. God was in His Son. You believe it? Sure He was. You believe God is in His universe? You believe God is in His Word, God is in His Son? Now, what about God in His people? We're going to bring Him right down here in the auditorium. Yes. Do you believe God dwells in men? Surely He does. "At that day you'll know that I am in you, and you in Me, and I in you." Certainly.
I looked back in the Old Testament now just a little bit, just for a few closing remarks. Back in the Old Testament we find a man by the name of Elijah, a great man, a servant of God. And we find that a woman showed him kindness by setting him a little stool, and making him a little room, and a place where he could rest his weary feet and lay down on the bed on his road up to the mountain where he went to a cave to pray.

L-47 And one day passing through, and seeing this, he said, "This Shunammite woman has not been too slothful about us." Said to his servant, Gehazi, "Go, ask her what she would desire me to do." Said, "I'll see the king for her, speak to the chief captain or someone."
She said, "No. I'm just dwell among my people. I'm all right. I just did it, not to be rewarded." That's the way to do it. Don't give if you're expecting to receive back. Give to the glory of God. Said, "Oh, that's all right." Said, "I just dwell among my people and..."
But she said to her husband, "I perceive that this is a holy man." Now, if she honored him, she'd be honoring God, 'cause God was in Elijah, and she recognized, not the man, he was just a man; but it was God in the man she recognized.
