<TITLE>08. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 They didn't have the answer, Jerusalem didn't. But they couldn't stop these fellows. They wanted to find Him. Brother, if God's ever anchored something in your heart, a thirst to find Him, there's nothing go to stop you from finding Him.
Up-and-down the streets, rich men testifying like holy-rollers, "Where is He? Tell me where He is, that's born King of the Jews, for we've done seen His sign, and we've come to worship Him. We saw His Star in the East and come to worship Him." They didn't have the answer. They haven't got it today, same thing.
Now notice. When God sends a sign into the Church, the Church fails to see it. Same as they did then. So what they made so much fuss about it, until they had call out the Sanhedrin Court to find out what all this was about. And when they got the court out and opened up the Scriptures that perhaps they hadn't read, just their own creeds for years. But as they read the Scriptures, they got Micah's prophecy, and said, "In Bethlehem of Judaea..."

L-27 Listen, brother, if the Church hasn't got the answer to these signs and wonders, the Word of God's got the answer. If your pastor hasn't got the answer, God's Word's got the answer.
If you're hungering for It, God will show it to you in the Word. God keeps His Word. And as soon as they found out the place where that this is to take place, they left the city and the council setting, thinking what would they do. They'd have to get rid of this. This couldn't get breezed around amongst the people. They'd have to stop this, because it would break up their tradition. They'd have to put an end to it.
And as the wise men went out of the city gates, as soon as they got out of that gloomy place, the Star appeared again. When you come out of the world and its traditions, the glory of God will appear to you and will lead you. When you come out of your self, and out of your sins, out of your unbelief, leave it all behind, and raise your heart to God, God will appear to you.

L-28 And when they seen that Star again, the Bible said they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. They must've shouted a little. Exceeding great joy, for they know they were following the sign that was going to lead them to the Saviour. And it did just that.
May I say tonight, that God has a sign today. It's a sign of His Spirit, that where Jesus is, there's Life, for He is Life. Where Jesus is, there's Gospel Light, for He is Light. Where Jesus is, there is fire, for He is a consuming Fire that burns up all your unbelief and your dross.
Night after night we see Him coming on the scene, saving first the lost souls, giving to them the Holy Spirit that's seeking after It, calling back the backsliders. That's the sign to follow. And then we see Him also raise up the sick and the afflicted, making them well. He's been doing that along now for some time.

L-29 Then at the end time, He promised there would be Light, there would be the fullness of the power would be coming. The prophet said, "There'll be a day that will not be neither night or day. But in the evening time it shall be light." The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, geographically. And the Gospel first came to the Easterners.
We've had a day of neither dark nor light. Been a dismal day. We've knowed enough about God to accepting His Son as our Saviour. But all the great signs and wonders that fell on the Eastern people has not fallen on the Western people until the last few years.
Now, the evening lights are shining. The power of the resurrected Christ is pouring forth His blessings, filling the people with the Spirit, signs and wonders appearing, the signs of Mark 16 following the believer. You see, it's evening time. And the same light that rose in the east is setting in the west: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and will be forever.
