<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 This Greek asked this question. He came to Philip--to a minister--and asked to see the Lord Jesus, and was granted the privilege of seeing the Lord Jesus by a minister of the Lord Jesus. And then, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why can't we ministers then bring to the people, or the people to the Lord Jesus just as Philip brought these Greeks to the Lord Jesus? For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, it's--it's a sensible... And it's--it's Scriptural, and it's just as logical as it was in that day, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, I believe that the Scriptures cannot tell anything that's wrong. There's many things in the Scriptures that I only wish I was able with faith enough to make them real to the people. But I'd never stand in the way of anybody that could do it. If I couldn't take a walk like Enoch one afternoon with the Lord, and just get so overjoyed till I'd just walk up home with Him, I--I would not stand in anybody's way that did have that much faith, that could just walk up home with Him without dying or tasting death in this world.

L-18 And we are trying today, as we see the end time approaching, there should be end time appearings of the Lord Jesus that He predicted in the Scripture. Because whatever He said, it must come to pass.
Now, we ourselves are finite; we can make many mistakes, and I make more than all, because we are finite. But He is infinite, and He cannot make a mistake. Now, I can promise you something, and with the very best of my ability, I can say, "I really mean that." And then, might not be able to fulfill what I promised, because circumstances would alter cases. But not so with God; He cannot make a promise that He cannot fulfill.
Moses thought the same thing (or Abraham, rather): "Staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God; for he was fully persuaded that what God had promised, God was able to perform." Therefore, all the Scriptures that God has given to us are promises.

L-19 Now, we get ourselves worked in with the human element of the time element. And the only thing we know is inches, feet, yards, miles, measurement, days, weeks, hours, months, years. But God's eternal; He's--He's... We have the limited powers and limited intelligence, but God is infinite in all things. He knows all things, knew all things before the world begin. He knew this meeting would be here tonight. He knowed all things before there was a world, 'cause He could tell what would be in the end time from the beginning--makes Him God. Nothing else, no one else, no other being, no other person could ever do that, but God alone.
Now, we sometimes wonder why we--He's so great, and yet why we don't see Him more then what we do.

L-20 Now, if I would go down in the city tonight to each denomination of church, and I'd say, "Are... Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever?" to their lovely pastor.
He'd say, "I certainly do."
I'd say, "That's very fine." Well then, I'd say, "Do you believe that He is still the same Saviour that He was?"
He'd say, "Most certainly I believe that."
"Do you believe that He lives today as He did then, only in the form of the Person of the Holy Spirit?"
"Certainly I believe that."
"Then if He died and through His great, holy Blood that He gave at Calvary..." Which was not Jewish or neither was it Gentile; it was the Blood of God. The blood comes from the male sex. And in this case the Male was God created a Blood cell in the womb of the virgin that brought forth the Son of God, in which God spread forth His tent and tabernacled with human beings--Emmanuel.
