<TITLE>08. Par 31-35</TITLE>L-31 "Come in and abide with us."
"Oh, I couldn't ask Him to come in me. I've been a drunkard; I've been a gambler."
I don't care what you are. Ask Him and you find out He will come on your invitation. He's never turned one down, and He never will turn one down. He's longing and trying to get into the heart.
You say, "I've been a street harlot." I don't care what you've been. God is trying to work His way into your heart. Just say, "Come in, Lord, and abide with me."

L-32 And notice, all through the day He'd been bringing the Word but no signs. When He got them inside and shut the door, and set down, oh, brother, that's when He revealed His resurrection. No time from the morning when He met them, until the going down of the sun did He do it. He never did one thing that He did in life, only just the Word. But notice, at the evening time, at the evening time, that's when He proved His resurrection.
Let me say this with humility; let me say this with a broken voice, but a broken heart too, "It's evening time." The Bible said, "It'll be light in the evening time. There'll be a day that it won't be neither night or day," the prophet said. It'll be just hearing the Word with no manifestations, just a gloomy, foggy day. But in the evening time the light will shine again. It'll be light.

L-33 And in this evening time that we're now living, where Christ through His ministers has preached the Gospel for two thousand years... But this is the evening lights. The evening lights was the manifestation of the resurrection. When they didn't know He had raised from the dead, although they loved Him, they believed Him, but they didn't know He'd raised from the dead. They'd argued against it. And now here it is in the evening time. He's going to reveal Himself that He is raised from the dead. How did He do it? Not by preaching the Word, He'd already did that and still they didn't believe.
And two thousand years of preaching the Word, the church still don't believe. But the evening light has come, the manifestation of the resurrection. And He taken them in, and He performed a miracle or did a thing just like He did before His crucifixion; they knew it was Him. Their eyes come open. And He vanished quickly.

L-34 Notice, it was a short message. It wasn't very long. He didn't stay long with them. He just manifested Himself and vanished out of their sight. And they eyes were opened, and they knew that that was Him. And they said, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the road."
And oh, brother, sister, how much has our hearts burned down through the years? I've been a Christian now for about twenty-seven years, no, about twenty-nine years. I've been a preacher for twenty-seven years. And all along when I read His Word, when He talks to me, it's wonderful. My heart burns to hear the Word.

L-35 But now the evening lights has come. The sun's a setting. Civilization is gone. The world's at the end. Now He's appeared and doing something in our midst to reveal Himself as a resurrected Christ. Our eyes are--can come open. We can see that He is alive forevermore. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. And that's the proof of the resurrection.
If Jesus promised in the Bible that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He does not prove that, then the Scripture's wrong. Down through the years we've had all these Scripture teachings, but this is the day for the manifestation, for the manifestations of the resurrection.
