<TITLE>17. Par 54-55</TITLE>L-54 How many know that Jesus Himself as a Son, did not do one miracle? Jesus said so. "The Son can do nothing in Himself," John 19:5, the Son, Jesus, the Son of God. "The Son can do nothing in himself but what He sees (not hears), but sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise." How many knows the Scripture reads that? Sure. Then He saw by vision what the Father was doing; then He did just what the Father had told Him to do by a vision. See that?
Now, watch. The Father told Him one day, "Lazarus's going to die. I want You go away. It's going to be so many days." Jesus, without warning of anything, obeyed the Father and went away. They sent to Him, said, "Lazarus's sick, come pray for him." Jesus just went on. They sent again. He just kept going on.
Finally, after the time was fulfilled that the Father had showed Him, He said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there." Because they'd been trying to get Him to pray for him, He wouldn't have done it. He said, "Now, for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, but I go wake him. I go wake him." Watch Him stand at the grave. He was--might've been small. But when He pulled that little figure together, straightened up after standing there crying like a man, when He straightened Himself up, He said, "Lazarus, come forth." "If you say to this mountain, Be moved; and don't doubt in your heart..." Amen. Amen. Can you see Him shining in His church? "Lazarus, come forth." And here he come, wrapped in grave clothes. He never said anything about getting weak about that; look what a miracle that was.

L-55 But a little woman touched the border of His garment over in the--another land. But she believed Him. No doubt... She had a blood issue, and she'd probably sold all the implements off the farm and everything. And maybe her husband was gone, and--or the doctors could not help her any, and she'd lost all that blood. She'd had it for a number of years. And she said within herself, "I'm just a little insignificant woman, but if I can touch His garment, I'll be made whole." 'Cause the garment that holds over that Man, that was meek as He could be, yet could stand like the wrath of Jehovah and beat them, look upon them with anger, and kick them out of the building, plait ropes together... He was both God and man: God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. That's the reason He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works; not Me, but Him. He's in Me. And He that's in Me will be in you, after I die to sanctify you, so that He can come into you."
