<TITLE>12. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 Oh, I love Him. Listen what He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." He let her know there was no difference in races of people, their color. And He said, "If you knew Who you were talking to."
And the conversation started. What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. As soon as He found out what her trouble was, He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
And she said, "I have no husband."
Jesus said, "That's right. You've got five, and the one that you now have is not yours. You have said true."
What did she say? "He's a Beelzebub?" She said, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet." Watch. "We (Who? The Samaritans.), we know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. But Who are You?
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."

L-50 And she ran into the city and said, "Come, see a Man that told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" If that was the way the Messiah made Hisself known in the days gone by, it's got to be the same today.
Now, to you ministers, and to you Bible students, not one time did He ever perform that sign before Gentiles. Search the Scriptures. Not one time... But He even forbid His disciples to go to them. But that's the way He manifested Hisself as Messiah to both Jew and both Samaritan.
How many is willing to say that that's the truth, that you know the that you know the Scriptures well enough to know that to be the truth, let it be known with your hand up. The Scripture says so. Search the Scriptures and see if there's any other way that He made Hisself known. "Oh, our traditions..." But the Scripture says it.

L-51 Watch. Speaking to the Jew, spoke of another day. And not from that time until this, has it been known. But how many believes this is the end of the Gentile's age? Sure we do. Then if He made Hisself known to them back there that way, He's got to make it known today to the Gentiles, or He's different than He was then.
And God has to act the same every time. When a situation arises, and if God is called on the scene, the action He takes then, He's got to take it every time when the same situation rises, or He did wrong when He did it the first time. You see, we get smarter. God doesn't get smarter. He's perfect to begin with. He's infinite to begin with. He has no more knowledge now than He had then, because He's a perfect knowledge.
And the way He acted then, He has to act the same today. Therefore, the Bible says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If Christ manifested Himself any other way today to you Gentiles then what He did back there, He did wrong, when He made Hisself known back there.

L-52 There is a Scripture... Even the disciples when He was fixing to leave in Saint John 17, the disciples said, "We know now that Thou knowest all things and need not that any man teach You." He'd just performed those things and showed them. "By this, we believe that Thou comest from God."
Jesus said, "Do you now believe?"
Now, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. One day there was a woman touched His garment, and she... That's also Saint John. And so when she touched His garment, she said within herself, "If I can touch Him, I don't care what the Rabbi say and what the people say; I believe He is the holy One. And if I can touch Him, I believe I'll be made well."
She'd been years with a blood issue and could not be helped by any doctor. She touched His garment, and went out, and set down, or stood up, or wherever she was in the crowd. Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" He didn't know. He was not a hypocrite. He didn't know, or He wouldn't have asked the question.
