<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Now, we're at such a late hour and such a time, that there's nothing in the world that counts outside of Christ. There isn't a thing that you can put your hands on but what is--is natural and it will perish, but Christ the invisible One is the only thing that's eternal, that we have tonight, is--is--is Christ. And we love Him.
And so now, if He was in Brooklyn, or Newark tonight... If Christ was in Newark, New Jersey, tonight, what would you look for? What type of a person would you look? Now, we know that the Bible teaches in Hebrews 13:8 that He was the same yesterday, today, and forever. Well now, if He is the same, now He... If He isn't the same rather, well, then the Scripture's wrong. And if He is the same, there ought to be some way that we could know that He was here. Don't you believe that's right? If there's some visible way that we could know... I believe that He was human. I believe He's interested in the human race. He died for them, gave His life for them.

L-14 And now, did we... If I was to go across the street... I seen a sign that was over there that--across the street, of a brother that has services over there called, I forget just the name now. I was just reading it when I come up. If I go ask the brother, "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever?"
He'd say, "Yes, sir, Brother Branham."
If I'd go down on the next corner to another brother, or wherever, each one of them would say, "Yes, I believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." If I asked this group of people here tonight, Christians, I presume, "Do you believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever?"
You'd say, "Yes, Brother Branham, I believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-15 Then if He is so great, and He is the same, and they seen Him in the days yesterday, then why can't we see Him today? That's what I wonder. Now, if He is the same, He's... There's only one thing different in Christ than when He was in Galilee, is that tonight He's in a spiritual body instead of a corporal body.
Now, when He was here on earth, He said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit. The vine only puts the energy into the branch, and the branch bears fruit. You don't gather fruit off of the vine. You gather it off of the branch. "Every branch in Me that bringeth forth not good fruit (Saint John), He cuts it off, prunes it," the church and whatmore...

L-16 Now, the fruits of Christ, when He was here on earth, the things that He did when He was here on earth, He promised that they would be done by His church after He left. "The works that I do, shall you do also; greater works than this shall you do; for I go to My Father."
Greater, if anyone who knows Greek, knows that that word "greater" doesn't mean that it would be in quality; it means in quantity. Another words it would be, "More than this shall you do," would be the way we would read it. "More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father."
Great, because no one could do any greater work than He did; because He raised the dead; He--He stopped nature. He--He done everything that could be done. And He stopped the roaring sea, made the winds be still, raised up the dead after they were done corrupted in the grave, and--and no one could do greater in quality. But being that His Spirit would come into the Church and would reach out, it would be a universal church, all around the world; and they could do more of the same things that He was doing.
