<TITLE>02. Par 9-21</TITLE>L-9 But we'll notice in just a few moments, what did He do? And I believe tonight it's the hunger of every one of our hearts from the least until the oldest tonight to see Jesus Christ. It's my heart's desire. And why is it? If we claim by the Scriptures...
The radios blast it today; the televisions put on programs; dramas was said that, "He is not here, but He has risen."
Well then, if He has risen, the Bible said in Hebrews 13:8, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now, here's where it is, folks. That's either the Truth or it isn't the Truth. That if that isn't the Truth, then the Bible is false, and then the Words are false; and then we're lost, and there's no resurrection of the dead, and we are just making believe. But if it is true, then It's got to vindicate Itself.

L-12 If you say this water's wet; I never seen water before. You pour it on me, and it's not wet, then you--your words are untrue. But if you pour it on me, and it is wet, then your words is true.
If Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then the Bible's true. If He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever, then It isn't true. If the Words of God isn't true, then Christ isn't true. Then if the Words of God isn't true, God isn't true. But then, if the Word of God is true, then the Bible's true, God's true, Christ is true, and we should be true to the cause. Correct.

L-14 Now, when He was on earth, He did not claim to be any great healer. How many knows the Son of God never claimed to be a healer? Exactly right. He said, "I can do nothing in Myself, but what I see the Father doing. It's not Me that doeth the works," He said; "it's the Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works." What kind of works did He do?
We find in the Bible where a fellow by the name of Philip got saved. And he went over and found a friend: Nathanael, way back, thirty miles around the mountain. He brought him back to Jesus. And when he found him, he was under a tree, praying. And he said, "Come, see Who we found: Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
He said, "Could there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
He said, "Come and see."
That's the best evidence I know. Don't take somebody else's word for it. Come, see for yourself. Said, "Come and see."

L-17 And when he come, Jesus was standing in the line, perhaps praying for the people. And when Philip come up with Nathanael, Jesus said, "Behold an Israelite, in whom there's no guile."
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?" It astonished him. "Whence knowest Thou me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Thirty miles away, through a mountain, yet, "I saw you."
That showed Who He was. He was the omnipresent God, not just a prophet, but God Himself manifested in the flesh. That's the reason He could lay it, His life down, take it up again.

L-21 A little woman come out to draw some water one day. And He spoke to her and said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not customary to you Jews to ask us Samaritans such. We have no dealings with each other."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. I'd bring you Water you don't come here to draw."
And she said, "The well is deep, Sir. You have nothing to draw with, and where could You get this Water."
What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. And when He found what her trouble was... Her trouble was that she was living in adultery. She had five husbands and was living with her sixth one.
And Jesus said to her, "Go, get your husband and come here."
And she said, "I don't have any husband."
He said, "No, you've had five, and the one that you're now living with is not yours. So you said well."
