<TITLE>20. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 Now, the Bible said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. That's true. And to these clergymen and to back in there, doesn't the Scripture teach us, the New Testament, that He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmity? Well, if He's the same High Priest, the same yesterday, today, and forever... And then if He has--if touched, He will act the same way that He did yesterday, 'cause He can't do no more. He's the same High Priest.
And remember this, friend, while we're getting the people ready. I want to leave this with you. If anyone ever asked you on it, do you believe that God is infinite? Then, if God is ever called on the scene of crisis, arise. And God's ever called on the scene to act, the way that God acts the first time, He has to forever act the same way. If He doesn't, He acted wrong when He acted the first time.
If a sinner called on Him to be saved, He's got to save that sinner if He saved the first sinner that called on Him. That's right. If He was called on for sickness and He healed the first man, by faith, He's got to heal the next man and every other person that comes to Him, or if He didn't, He did wrong when He healed the first one, 'cause He's infinite.

L-71 Now, I can say something. I'll have to take it back, 'cause I'm just a man. You can say something with all good intention, but you have to take it back many times. You're finite; you're just a human. But He's God. He doesn't know... He isn't any smarter today then He--then He was at the beginning. He's perfect from beginning to end. He's the same. So His decisions is always the same, perfectly. So the God that we serve (Just remember. Just keep it in your mind), the God that we serve is... Always been God and always will be God. He cannot change. And to manifest Hisself before Israel to show that He was the Messiah, and it ending up with that Jewish dispensation, He showed signs of discernment like He did to Philip.
When He went and got Nathanael and brought him, He told him, "I knowed where you was at. You're Israelite. Saw you under the tree before you come to the meeting."

L-72 When He went and got Simon Peter, brought him, He said, "Your name is Simon. Your father's name is Jonas." Oh, my. That--that got him.
And when He told Nathanael, He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi (Reverend, Preacher, Teacher, the word really means 'teacher'), when did You know me? You've never seen me in Your life. How do You know that I'm a just man and a Hebrew?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
That was it's real, true Jew. That great, starchy Jew said He's the devil, that He's a fortuneteller. That's when Jesus said what I spoke about awhile ago.

L-73 Then He had to go down to Samaria. Remember there's only three classes of people: That's Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. How many remembers that Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom? We all know that. And on the day of Pentecost who opened the Kingdom of God? Matthew? Mark? Luke? John? Peter.
Philip went down and baptized the Samaritans. But yet the Holy Ghost had come upon them not them, and they sent up to the man that had the keys. Coming down, laid hands up on them, opened up the dispensation to the Samaritans... He went up to the house of Cornelius to the Gentiles and opened up into the Cornelius' house, and since then it's been to anybody, whosoever. See? No more was the keys used, 'cause the Kingdom's open.
