<TITLE>05. Par 16-17</TITLE>L-16 Oh, it must be glorious. But it's all inspired. It's just we're afraid to put our faith out there to meet God's challenge. That's all. And in this, these signs shall follow them that believe, unto the end of the world, not just for apostles, but to the end of the world. And as long as there is a world, and a people to be preached to, these signs shall follow them that believe.
Not long ago, to a friend setting here, that's a friend of this man's, and his name is Perris Reedhead. May be in the building, this afternoon. He came to my house, and he wanted to ask me about this. If anyone knows him, probably many of you know Perris Reedhead. He's the president of the big Sudan Mission, one of the biggest missions in the world.
And he said, "Mr. Branham," he said, "I had a calling of God when I was just a little boy." Said, "My faithful, old mother put me through school," and said, "to make the best preacher that God could have." And said, "When I got my doctor's degree, I thought I'd find Christ." Said, "I didn't." Said, "When I got my bachelor's degree, I thought I'd find Christ." On and On. He said to, "Preacher, I've got enough degrees to plaster your wall." He said, "And where is Christ in all of it?" I said... Said, "Has the teacher's been wrong?"
I said, "I wouldn't want to say they were wrong. Them degrees are all right, but that still isn't Christ. It's just a degree."

L-17 And he told me of a story of a Indian boy that was over here for his education. On his road back he met Mr. Reedhead, as he was going out. He said, "Now, you've got your education, son. You're on your road back to your homeland, to India, to become a worker." He said, "I understand that you're a Mohammedan."
He said, "I am."
He said, "Then why don't you forsake that old dead prophet, and take a living Jesus back with you, one that's raised from the dead?"
And this Indian boy was just a little smarter, than Brother Reedhead expected him to be. Said he kicked his foot on the ground a moment, and he said, 'Sir," (Listen now!) "What could your Jesus do for me, any more than my prophet can do?" He said, "They both wrote books; you call yours the Bible; we call ours the Koran. Both of them made promises, and we believe that promise." Said, "However, Mohammed only promised life after death. I believe it. Jesus promised life after death; you believe it." So he said, "What's the difference in them?"
