<TITLE>08. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 I got a brother over there, he's a Oneness. And I got one over here's a Twoness. And I got one down here's a some otherness or, something like that. What is it? It's little "isms" that becomes after awhile "wasms." That's right. But what is it? The message still remains the same: Christ raised from the dead. Don't point a man to an organization or to some form of something, point him to Jesus Christ Who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's raised from the dead and He is the one to look to.
Today we want to point them to some of our great schools of theology, some of our organizations. But her cure came of her crying and her bereavement. Her cure came, her despair was over when she heard her name called and she recognized Him as her Lord. And she was asked, "Why are you seeking the living among the dead?" And Mary found out that her Lord wasn't in those dead creeds. And as soon as the church recognized, like Mary did, that our resurrected Lord is not in a creed, it's in a personal experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost into the believer's heart... He's not in a creed. He's not in the church organizations. He isn't. He's in the hearts of the believers. He was not with their dead tombs out there, but He was alive.

L-25 Oh, what a--what a message to take to the church tonight. Do they receive it? No more then then--worse now then it was then. When the disciples heard it, they believed it, and the Bible said they were glad. The Bible said, "When they heard this, they were glad." When they met Him and recognized that that was their Lord. So is it tonight when a man or a woman, boy or girl, that's willing to step out beyond the creed of your church... I don't tell you not to belong to your church; that's all right. But don't you just hide your soul behind that creed, thinking that'll save you. You'll never be saved until you find Christ as your personal Saviour and His Spirit fill your life. "Then these signs shall accompany those that believe."

L-26 Not a frolic dance as you've seen a lot of the Pentecostals do, not a morgue like you see a lot of the rest of them do. And the Pentecostals is about out of their frolic now; they're back to the morgue too. Not like that... You don't introduce them to that, but to a living, resurrected Christ. Amen. That's what we're to... Then you have joy. Like the disciples, when you meet Him and you know. And when He performed the sign before them and showed them that He was the same Jesus, doing the same things that He did... No one else could do it but Him. And they recognized that that was their Lord and they were happy.
Why, Cleopas and them, it took them all day long to go over to Emmaus, a Sabbath day's journey. They wasn't but a few minutes getting back. Oh, after they found out the truth, that He was resurrected, because they'd seen Him keep His Word and fulfill it and do exactly like He did before He was crucified, they hotfooted it across the country. I imagine they was just hitting every four or five yards. They were in a hurry. They wanted to tell the rest of them, "Truly the Lord is risen indeed." They had something in their heart.
