<TITLE>12. Par 118-128</TITLE>L-118   If there was to be a sabbath, if there was to be a Sunday-keeping, then He would have spoke of it. If He had said, "Now there's no more sabbath, no more keeping the seventh day, what I want you to keep is Sunday," He'd have said it. Paul said He did. He'd have said, "You all worship on Sunday. That'll be the rest." Well, if he'd have wanted them to keep the sabbath, he'd have said, "Just remain keeping the seventh day. But now I want you to keep Sunday, the eighth day." No. He never said it.

L-119 He said, "If Jesus would have given them a day, would He not have spoke of it?"

L-120   Now the 9th verse. Get ready.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God, a sabbath-keeping to the people of God.
For he that has entered into his (Christ's) rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his, on the sabbath.

L-121 See it? Now let's take some Scripture and back this up. All right. When God made the world in six days, He rested on the seventh day, and never worked any more. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. He built the world, put the creation on it, and went to rest; and never come back again, to build any more world. He finished the works, and went to rest. Now, on... Then, after that thousand years, then sin come in; then Christ was represented, the Lamb was represented. Now, the Jews was given this as a type of the seventh-day Rest.
Now, he limited another day, saying in David,... after so long a time, there is coming another rest.

L-122   Now what is that Rest? Turn with me to Matthew, the 11th chapter, and the last part of the 11th chapter of Saint Matthew. That's when Jesus ended His sermon on the mount, and you'll see what He said.

L-123 He said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman, lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart. Whosoever get angry with his brother, without a cause, has killed the brother." All these things, and He never touched that fourth commandment, that sabbath.

L-124   Now He's ending up. And the Sabbath is the great Promise of God. It's a Rest. Now, now watch here, when He got through ending up the beatitudes. Here He says, 27th verse of the 11th chapter of Saint Matthew. Where, He was teaching the beatitudes in the 5th chapter.
All things are delivered unto my hand, unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;...
See, you can't know one without knowing the other, 'cause He was the Father manifested in flesh.
... neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,...

L-125 Looks like people could see That and not argue. Certainly. God is not three People. If He is three Gods, then we're heathens. Which one is God? They're, all three, one God, is three offices of the same God. He was the Father, in the form of the Holy Spirit, in that Pillar of Fire in the wilderness. He was the Son, when He used the Sonship office. "A little while and the world seeth me no more; I'll go away. I'll come again and be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." See? He's the Fatherhood, the Sonship, and the Holy Ghost, too. It's all the very same God working in three different offices: Fatherhood, Sonship, Holy Ghost. Never...
First John 5:7 said, "There are three that bear record in Heaven: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. These three are One."

L-126   Thomas said unto Him, "Lord, show us the Father. It'll satisfy him."

L-127 He said, "I been so long with you, and you don't know Me?" Said, "When you see Me, you've seen the Father. And why say, 'Show us the Father'?"

L-128 Now, the Oneness took it, the oneness group of people, and try to make Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, just one office and one place, and like your finger, one. That's wrong. God could not... Jesus could not been His own father. If He was, then He was a... Well, how could He been His own father?
