<TITLE>12. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 How many knows that a woman touched the border of Jesus' garment, and she touched Him, and He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" And everybody denied it. He looked out in the audience until He found the woman, and He said, "Thy faith has saved thee," told her of her blood issue had stopped because her faith, she touched Him.
Now, He did not feel that physical touch, because there's a lot of people touching Him. Peter rebuked Him. Said, "Well, everybody's touching You, why do You say such a thing as that? Everybody is touching You. Don't say that." And he rebuked Him.
But He said, "I perceive that I have," What? "Virtue has gone from me." How many know--many knows that virtue is strength? Sure. He got weak.
Now, if one woman touching the Son of God made Him get weak, how could I stand it, a sinner saved by grace? Because He said, These things that I do shall you do also. And more than this shall you do." I know the King James says "greater." But the real translation of it, if you look it up, it's more than this shall you do. See? Because the church will be universal and stand more.
Now, but you couldn't do no greater. He healed the sick, and raised the dead, stopped nature, done everything that could be done. You couldn't do any more in quality, but more in quantity. Because His Spirit would come and be if... with the church. Right tonight while this is going on here, in Africa it could be going on. In Australia it could be going on everywhere.

L-41 But when God was here on earth in a human form, Jesus Christ was God made flesh and dwelling among us. Now, all the Fullness of the Godhead body was in Him. He was God made manifest. No man has seen the Father at any time, but the only Begotten of the Father has expressed Him. The... God was expressing Himself, what He was through His Son, Jesus.
God overshadowed the virgin Mary, created a blood cell in the womb. And anyone knows that life comes from the male sex. Is that right? A hen can lay an egg, but if she hasn't been with the male bird, it will not hatch. No, sir, because it hasn't got the life in it. Life comes from the male.
And then in this case God was the Male. And there was no sexual affair with it at all. God the Creator created a blood cell. He wasn't neither Jew nor Gentile; He was God. That's right. The Blood of Jehovah God created Himself a Blood to sanctify His people. And then in that dwelt the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. He had the Spirit without measure. We have it by measure.

L-42 Now, if I went to the ocean and took like this little gift that He gives me... If I went to the ocean and took a spoonful out of the ocean, that's about in comparison. This little gift here is just like a spoonful of water out of the ocean, and His was the whole ocean. But did you know, if you examine that little spot that you got in you and that little spot I got in me, the same chemicals is in that spoonful that's in that whole ocean. Sure. It's the same thing, not as much of it.
We have the Spirit by measure. God poured It out to us by measure. But He poured It out on Him without measure. So the works that He did, His Church... He separated and divided Himself among His people, that His work could continue through His church. If that's not love...
No wonder people go crazy. And this famous song of--of "O Love Of God, how rich and pure." They tell me that that verse, last verse, or first verse, rather, I believe, or last one, was found pinned on a wall of an insane institution.
No one could ever figure with a pen, or no way, to try to express the love of God. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life." What an invitation that Jehovah God gave to His people.
