<TITLE>17. Par 85-89</TITLE>L-85 Well, now, if we wanted to know if there's all... There's all kinds of religions in the world. But there's only one (And they are just simply making creed already out of that), and that's the Christian religion that the Founder of this religion is alive yet. The rest of them are dead. Mohammedans, Buddha, all the rest of them are dead and in the grave.
But Jesus is the only One Who has an empty tomb. He's alive. And He's with us. He promised, when He was here on earth... Now, listen close. Did He say that the things that He did that we would do also? Did He promise that? Did He say, "A little while and the world (that's the world order, church members and so forth), won't see Me no more."? Did He say that? "Yet, ye shall see Me (That's the church, the body. Is that right?), for I will be with you," and He said, "even in you to the end of the world." Is that right?

L-86 Then, if He is working... Then if the only thing different in Jesus, His corporal body sets at the hand--right hand of God on the throne of God. That's not Jesus' throne; that's His Father's throne. His throne... He's the heir--fall Heir to that. He has David's throne. But He's at His Father's throne, waiting. "And He that overcometh shall set with Me on My throne, as I have overcome and set on My Father's throne." Now, He's waiting there in a corporal body, but God sent His Spirit back to be in the church.

L-87 Now, if I told you the spirit of John Dillinger was in me, you'd expect me to have big guns and be an outlaw. If I told you the spirit of an artist was in me, you'd expect me to paint these mountains. If I told you the spirit of a mechanic was in me, you'd expect me to hear your car and know what was wrong. If I tell you the Spirit of Christ is in me, you'd expect me to do the works of Christ. That's right. That's what the churches look to, not to have creeds, but to have the Spirit of Christ.

L-88 Now, what did Christ do when He was here on earth? I want to ask you; now this is for newcomers. Did Christ say He was a healer? No. Did Christ take credit for healing the sick? No. What did He say? "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My (what?), Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works."
And Jesus was questioned. And here's what He said in Saint John 5:19, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can't do nothing in Himself." Did He say that? Saint John... How many ever read that? Let's see your hands. Saint John 5:19.
He had passed through a lot of crippled and lame people and didn't heal them. And He healed a man just laying on a pallet. And He was questioned for the man packing his bed, and 'course I guess not healing all of them and so forth. But He passed through and just healed this one and went away. And they wondered why He did it. And He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing (Is that right?), that doeth the Son likewise."

L-89 Then the Word of God, which is infallible, proves that Jesus Christ didn't heal nobody until God showed Him a vision on what to do. Find one place in the Bible where a prophet ever did anything without God showing him what to do. It's not man; it's God. Even God didn't recognize the flesh of His own Son to give Him free will for whatever He did. He did just as the Father told Him.
