<TITLE>04. Par 11-13</TITLE>L-11 And in John 5:19, He was questioned about passing through a pool where there's thousands of people, lame, blind, halt, and withered. And He found a man laying on a pallet. And He knew he'd been in that condition for thirty-eight years. And He made him whole, and walked away, and left that multitude of people laying there. And He was questioned.
I suppose if He was in a physical body walking among us tonight, and would do the same thing, He'd be questioned again by our authorities. And He said these words. Now, mark it in your heart: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise."
Now, how many knows that's Scriptural truth? Then Jesus never performed any miracles until God showed Him by a vision what to do first. If it's not so, then He told something that wasn't so, and that makes the Scriptures wrong. Then where are we at? See? He never done it just at random. No prophet never did it at random. They only did as God told them and showed them what to do.

L-12 Now, when Jesus was on earth He declared Himself to be the Messiah, and John clared--declared there was a Messiahic sign following Him. And the Old Testament claimed there'd be a Messiahic sign; and He proved that Messiahic sign to the people, that He was the Messiah. How they knowed it, was by... He was a God-prophet. Moses, the one that they had followed, said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet likened unto me." We know that. We're aware of that.
And amongst the Jews and--and the Samaritans He showed this sign. But of course, He never amongst the Gentiles, because we were heathens in those days, our people--the Gentiles, Romans. We wasn't looking for no Messiah, and Messiah only appears to those who's looking for Him. That's the way... Those who wait for Him, He will appear the second time. So it would behoove us tonight to be waiting for Him and watching for Him, that we do not miss it when He comes.

L-13 Now, Jesus before going away (I'm quoting these Scriptures before I strike my message), Jesus before leaving the earth, He said, "A little while, and the world will see Me no more." Now, the world there is the word "Kosmos," which means "the world order." See? "The world will see Me no more, yet, ye shall see Me (that's the church), for I will be with you, even in you, unto the end of the world." Now, we all know the Scripture says that. Now, then that makes Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, watch. "The works that I do shall you do also; and more..." I know the King James says "greater," but if you get the "Emphatic Diaglott"... No one could do any greater. He raised the dead, stopped nature. More, because then God was in one Man, Christ Jesus. The Fullness of the Godhead bodily dwelt in Him, the Scripture says: I Timothy 3:16: "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in the flesh." He was called Emmanuel. He was only in one man. But He... When He... This one Man, being the Son of God, gave His Life to sanctify His Church, that He might return in the form of the Holy Ghost and be in His Church universally. "The works that I do shall you also (same kind); more than this shall you do, for I go to My Father," so that He could return back in the form of the Holy Ghost and be in His Church universal.
