<TITLE>11. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 I said, "It was true, when He went down to the grave of Lazarus He wept like a man; but when He pulled those little shoulders up, looked out there and said, "Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that had been dead for four days stood on his feet and lived again, that was more than a man. That was God speaking through His Son. Right. It was God in Him. He was a man when He come down off the mountain that night hungry, looking for something to eat around a tree; He was a man when He was hungry, but when He took five biscuits and two fish and fed five thousand people, that was more than a man. That was God Who could create. Not another fish; but a cooked fish, not some more wheat; but baked bread. He was God the Creator.

L-46 He was a man laying out there on the back of that boat that night when the devils swore they'd drown Him Perhaps ten thousand devils of the sea said,"We got Him asleep now and we can drown Him." The little boat pitched about like a bottle stopper in a storm out there. They thought, "We got Him now." He was a man when He was asleep, tired and weary from His service, but when He put His foot upon the rail of the boat and looked up and said, 'Peace be still,' and the winds and the waves obeyed Him, that was more than a man.
When He died at the cross, He cried like a man. "My God, have mercy. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" He was a man in His death; but on Easter morning when He broke the seal of death, hell, and the grave, and rose again...
Oh, it's inspired every poet of song writer that ever was. Any man that ever amounted to a hill of beans believed He was divine. It's inspired poets and prophets through the years. One...?... One wrote a poem, said this, "When I survey the wondrous cross whereon the Prince of Glory died, I count all my fame to be but loss."

L-47 Eddie Perronet said, "All hail the power of Jesus' name. Let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all."
Another... Blind Fanny Crosby said, "Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, hear my humble cry; while on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by. Thou, the stream of all my comfort, more than life to me; whom have I on earth beside Thee? or whom in heaven but Thee?
Another...?... wrote out this: Living, He loved me, dying, He saved me; buried, He carried my sins far away. Rising, He justified freely forever. Someday He's coming, oh glorious day." Any man that believed He was divine... Certainly.

L-48 Oh, when God had a conference in Eden, His son was lost, His children was lost. That's the reason He never trusted redemption with any Angel or anything else but Himself. We was redeemed by the blood of God. And now that blood cell, that's what gives us boldness to stand on His Word. That's what gives us boldness to walk in the face of demons and opposition, because we know we're coming covered with the blood of the Lord Jesus, which is the divine powers in the blood of Jesus.
Now, watch Him. We see this conference, God coming through the garden of Eden. There's something got to be done; there's emergency on. His children's lost; he don't know what to do. Comes down in the garden and begins to hunt them up. When He found them back in there, hiding behind some sort of a man-made creed, what did He do?" He selected a certain tree and called them out. And He had a conference, and there was a decision made: how that man must be redeemed. And man has worked on fig leaves ever since; but God has never recognized nothing but the blood that He started with at the beginning.
