<TITLE>11. Par 50-55</TITLE>L-50 I never said nothing right then, but I thought, "How true it is. Unbelievers, instead of trying to take the beacon light (God's Word is a Light), trying to take that beacon and go to safety with it to Christ, they beat their brains out, die in sin and disgrace trying to beat the light out, when it'd be totally impossible. There can't be enough infidels rise, enough devils come out of hell to ever beat that Light of the world out."
"I am the light of the world." They'll never beat it out.
So there's only one thing to do. When it shines on your pathway, follow it. "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower. The righteous run into it and are safe. If ye abide in Me (in the tower), My words abide in you, then you can ask what you will, it'll be done for you."

L-51 Many times I've been considered... Now, I'm... just say this like I would at my Tabernacle. I wouldn't feel any more at home in the Tabernacle. "Brother Branham, how does these things happen? What takes place of this, and how this takes place?" It's just abiding in Jesus, believing His Word. He promised to do it, and He will do it. (Now, I have to hurry.)

L-52 All right. Jesus came in the world... (Just about one more comment. I got about fifty Scriptures wrote out here on this, so... But I--I'm just got certain Scriptures, and I can look down here and refer to it.)

L-53 Now, Jesus, when He came into the world, He came in the time of a massive unbelief. That's right. He came in such a way that it caused the unbeliever to disbelieve more. God just pulls the... He's such a wonderful Father. Brought right in the time, and give Him the (as the people thought) an illegitimate child, and never sent Him into any schools, and so forth. And He was a odd sort of a Boy. But yet there was something about Him that seemed to be that what He said was truth. What He spoke, it was so.

L-54 And He never took credit for Himself, but connected Himself with God. "It's not Me that doeth the works," He said. "You claim God to be your father, and you say He is, then you don't believe Me? If you can't believe Me, believe the works that I do. They are My credentials. They are the one that testifies of Me. They are the one that speaks whether it's truth or not. Read the Scriptures, what the Messiah was to do. Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life, and they are they that testify of Me." So He was the living Word of God. "They are they that testify of Me, the Scriptures."

L-55 Unbelief never stopped Him. He just kept right on going. He healed the sick, raised the dead, cleansed the lepers, went right on. And when they didn't believe that such things could happen... And their unbelief didn't stop Jesus at all. He went right on doing just what He was supposed to do, never bothered Him a bit.
Now, there has to be unbelievers. God predicted that. And there's going to be ten unbelievers to one believer. More than that--maybe a thousand to one, because the church is in the minority. "Fear not, little flock; it's Your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." So don't look for a great big something. The devil's always after something big; but God makes Hisself small. God, a baby in a manger, Jehovah crying. Could you imagine Jehovah playing as a teen-age boy? He was God. God was in Him. That's right. He come to express God. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
