<TITLE>14. Par -</TITLE>L-21-2 Oh, they couldn't believe. They--they couldn't see it. He was God in the flesh, because what was He? He was the Word made manifest. He was what God had promised. Listen, Branham Tabernacle, buckle yourself down on this Christmas Eve night. See? If He wasn't, then God would not have vindicated Him. Certainly. In other words, He could say, "Which one of your groups (Pharisees, Sadducees, or whatever they might be), which one of your men, which of your high priests, which of your scholars that God uses to speak His Word through and manifest It to say it's right?"

L-21-3 Well, they could said, "Our men are educated. We're smart; we know that Bible from generation to generation."
"Why then, why don't God make it live again in them men if it's God's Word? I and My Father are One," not three, "We are One." God is in Him. God speaks through Him. He's no more His own, but He's God's voice through human lips. Hallelujah. And every believer in Him tonight is likewise possessed, so possessed, so completely given over, till his words become like the words of Christ. He speaks and the Word is made flesh. He speaks and the Word is manifested. "The works that I do shall you do also. These signs shall follow them that believe."

L-21-5 Isaiah said in the 42nd chapter we just read, "Great light has come." Light... Oh, I don't want to get off the subject, but the greatest Light that ever shined was shining in that humble little Nazarene: a Man with no beauty we should desire Him; a Man without education, worldly speaking; a Man that knowed not the rituals and things of this world, but could tie demons, raise the dead. And devils trembled. And God recognized Him from heaven and spoke back, "This is My beloved Son," not before the plutocrats, but before a selected group that He had called. Great Light... Why, a greater Light was shining from His Word. What was the Word? Christ. He was what? The Word brought to life. And the Word brought to life gave a greater Light than He did when He said, "Let there be light," in Genesis 1. That was a light of a creation, a mortal creation, which must fall. But His Word was Life Eternal and Light Eternal. When a man believes that, you have Eternal Light.

L-22-1 "Light to those who set in the regions of the shadows of death," Matthew 4... Bring Light to the Gentiles who were possessed and condemned by God in their idols, but He come as a Light. What did he say? "Thy Word is a Light to my path. A Light to lighten the path to my--to my feet to guide me." And today the Light of God is the Word of God made manifest, that's the Light made manifest. The Light is the works of God spoken by the Word of God brought to life, and it's a greater Light than it was at the dawn of creation. Amen.

L-22-2 Light, He's a Lamp to the path, my... Oh, God... Light, the Word... In darkness as we are today, filled with creeds and denominations, filled with sensations and fanaticism, open hearts to sepulchers of any kind of a spirit that would even deny this Word from being the Truth; and say, "The days of miracles is past"; "There's no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking with tongues, prophets, and so forth; they died years ago"; then to see God in the midst of darkness, the darkness of creed, the darkness of denomination, take His Word and a bunch of people that will believe It, and shine forth His Life and His Light; there's more Light; It's Eternal Light, more than what it was at the dawn of creation. "Let there be light, and there was light." Certainly.
