<TITLE>08. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Now, let's just ask ourselves this question. These people come, and I believe that each one of we tonight are just like they were. They'd heard about Jesus, so they wanted to see Him. And I--I don't believe there's anyone could ever hear of that lovely Person of the Lord Jesus but what his whole heart's desire is to see Him. When I first heard that Name, there's just something, such sweetness to it, I--I wanted to see Him.
Well then, if they was desiring... They were human beings like you and I are. And they'd heard about Him, and they'd come up to see Him. And their desire was to see Him, and they had the privilege of seeing Him.
Now, if Jesus Christ is... And God forgive me for saying, "if." I don't mean to be sacrilegious, but to make a point. If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and we have the same desire, then why can't we see Him, if He's still the same? Now, He has to be the same if the Bible says He's the same.
He's the same Saviour, the same Healer, and just the same as He was. The only thing different in Him, He's now in an invisible body; there's where He was in a visible body. But He promised that, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me; for I (and 'I' is a personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the consummation, or the age."

L-27 Now, if He is the same and promised that, "Ye... Now, a little while and the world (that's the cosmos, which means the world order) won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me (that's the church, the believer), for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world," then that makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. Saint John 14:12, He said, "He that believeth on Me the works that I do, shall he do also." So we see the Scriptures. We can't deny those Scriptures. They are there.
Now, if we haven't faith to make them answer, well, let's just say, "I believe it, but I haven't got faith to do it." That's just like... I wish I had faith like Enoch had. One day he walked with God... After five hundred years, had a testimony he pleased Him. And just got tired of keeping his feet on the ground, took a little afternoon walk, and went up home with Him. I wished I could do that. But if I haven't got the faith to do it, I'll not stand in somebody's way that has got faith to do it. I thank God for that faith that can do it.
That's the way we must think. We see some being healed; others miss it. What is it? It's just lack of faith; that's all. God doesn't--doesn't treat His children one one way, and one another. It's based upon faith and we must believe it.

L-28 Now, if Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then if we could ask that same question... Now, here we are, many of you people that's been serving God... When I was a baby boy, a sinner, you was serving God. And I think that we have a right to come and ask God that same question that these Greeks asked: "Sir, we would see Jesus. We want to see Him." And I wonder this tonight, "Would that be the--would that be what this group of children of God here at Beaumont, Texas, would like? Would you like to see Him? I would sure love to see Him. I want...
Is it possible that we can see Him? Do you think so? Certainly. We got many ways we could see Him, if the person's not spiritually blind. I saw Him this afternoon when the sun was setting. I see Him out on the foamy waves of the deep. I see Him in the morning star, in the evening star. I hear Him scream in the eagle when he comes down across the mountain. I hear Him howl in the wolf. I hear Him--I hear Him bugle in the elk, grunt in the deer. Why, certainly. I hear Him cry in a baby.
