<TITLE>07. Par 27-31</TITLE>L-27 Listen at Him. Watch His emotions. Oh, how He wants to get the hearts tonight like that. "Thy brother shall rise again," He said.
Listen at this beautiful young Hebrew girl. "Yea, Lord, He will rise again in the resurrection in the last day."
Now, there never was a man able to say this before, or since, or never will be, outside of Him. The Bible said, "There was no beauty we should desire Him," probably a little Fellow in statue. He pulled his little shoulders up, and said, "I am the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die." That was His eternal promise. And He Himself said, "The Scriptures cannot be broken. What consolation do we have then tonight, when God said something? "Where have you buried Him?"
A lady speaking to me sometime ago; she said, "Reverend Branham, one thing about your preaching, you brag too much on Jesus."
I said, "Lady, I couldn't brag enough on Him."
Well, she said, "You make Him Divine, when He was just a prophet."
"Oh," I said, "I beg your pardon. He was Divine."

L-28 He was God. God manifested in flesh. If He was just a prophet we're all lost. He was neither Jew, nor Gentile. He was God. His Blood came from God's own creative power, and the created the Blood cells. Mary was just a incubator. That was all. The woman produces the egg. The man produces the germ of life. He had no man, male as sexual, but His heavenly Father created the Blood cells, so the Blood was God's own Blood, not...?...
That's where our blessed hope rests tonight, right there. "My hope is built on nothing less, but Jesus Blood and righteousness; when all around my soul gives way, then He's all my hope and stay." Eddie Perronet said, "On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other grounds is sinking sand." What a beautiful thing.
"I am." Not, "I will be." "I am now, forevermore the Resurrection and Life." I'm so glad to know Him as my Saviour.

L-29 "Where have you buried Him?"
This woman said, "Mr. Branham, if I'll proved to you by the Bible that He was just a man, will you accept it?"
I said, "If the Bible said so."
She said, "I can prove it." And she used Saint John the 11th chapter." She said, "When Jesus went down to the grave of Lazarus, the Bible said He wept."
I said, "That's right."
She said, "Then that proves if He could weep, He was man."
I said, "He was man, but He was the God man."

L-30 That's right. I said, "When He went to the grave weeping, He was a man. But when He stood and pulled His little shoulders back and said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that had been dead four days stood on his feet and lived again, that was more than a man. That was God speaking through a Man's lips.
It was true. He was a man when He come down from the city and looked on a tree to find something to eat. He was a man. But when He took two fishes and five little barley loaves and fed five thousand, it was more than a man.
He was a man when virtue gone from Him from healing and so forth through the day. When He was on that little ship that night, ten thousand devils of the sea swore they'd drowned Him. And that little ship tossed about like a bottle stopper out there like that...

L-31 He was a man when He was asleep. But when He put His foot upon the brail of the boat, looked up and said, "Peace, be still," and the waves and the winds obeyed Him, He was more than a man when He did that. He was God.
