<TITLE>06. Par 28-32</TITLE>L-28 A woman said to me not long ago; she said, "Brother Branham, I like to hear you speak, but you make Jesus Divine."
I said, "He was Divine."
She said, "I'll prove it by your own Bible that He wasn't Divine."
I said, "I'd like to see you do it."
And she said, "Saint John the 11th chapter, when He went to the grave of Lazarus, the Bible said He wept. And He couldn't be Divine and weep."
I said, "Your argument is thinner than the broth made out of a shadow of chicken that's starved to death." I said, "You know better than that." I said, "He was a man when He went down to the grave of Lazarus, weeping. But when He brought that little frail body of His together and said, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And a man that'd been dead four days stood on his feet, that was more than a man."

L-29 He was a man when He come off the mountain that night, hungry, wanting something to eat. He was a man, hungry. But when He taken five biscuits and two little fish and fed five thousand, that was more than a man. That was God in man.
When He laid out on that pillow on the back of that ship that night, when ten thousand devils of the sea swore they'd drowned Him, little old ship tossed about like a bottle stopper out there, and every...?... of wind, the devil said, "I'll get Him on the next jump."... He was a man laying there asleep, but when He raised and put His foot up on the brail of the boat, looked up and said, "Peace be still." And the winds and the waves obeyed Him, that was more than a man. That was God speaking in His Son. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." It's true.
He proved on the cross, when He was there crying for help, He was a man. But on Easter morning when He broke the seals and conquered the devil, death, hell, and the grave and rose up again, He proved He was God. No wonder the poet said:
Living, He loved me;
Dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
Someday He's coming, Oh, glorious day.
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

L-30 God called Abraham, just because he was a man that He could trust and he believed Him, and put confidence in him. And he told him--called him at the age of seventy-five. And he was married to his half sister, Sarah. And she was sixty-five. There's ten years difference in their age. And God told Abraham that He was going to make him a father of nations. He'd lived with his wife since she was about eighteen years old, and here she is sixty-five and him seventy-five, about twenty years past menopause. And He said, "I'm going to make you a father of nations."
How's He going to do it? What can happen? But Abraham never--never staggered at that; he just believed God.

L-31 Notice, I can see the old couple, could--going out, making ready, Abraham going downtown buying the pins and the birdeye, and all the little booties being made and everything, getting ready for it...
Then you call yourself Abraham's children, set back, "I'll try the next prayer line. The next fellow comes through town preaching Divine healing, I'll see if I can get in his line." That's not children of Abraham. Abraham's children believes God's promise and stands on it.

L-32 Notice. What do you think an old couple (it happened down here in Los Angeles), if an old man seventy-five years old, stooped over in his back, an old woman sixty-five years old, go down to the doctor and say, "Doctor, we want to make arrangements with the hospital; we're going to have a baby."
You know what would happen? They'd say, "Watch the poor old fellow; he's kinda off of his head."
And all that live godly in Christ Jesus, they'll say the same thing about you. If cancer's got you or some other disease and you say, "God's my Healer." That's Abraham's children, oh, they stand on God's promise. God said so, that settles it.
