<TITLE>33. Par -</TITLE>L-792-249 Like that blind boy, said, "This was done that the works of God might be made manifest." See, see? He knowed what was going to take place. Sure He did.
All right. Now, the predestinated, when they seen His Scriptural Signs, knowed that the Word vindicated the works, or the works vindicated the Word, that the Word was right, they were predestinated to see it, and they were right in line to see it, and they got it.
Then they said, after they'd seen they couldn't get nowhere, because the people that's predestinated to Eternal Life, they was going to find it, that's all. "All the Father's given me will come to Me. And all that comes to Me I'll give Eternal Life and will raise him up at the last day. There'll not be one of them lost." Amen. I'm holding right to that. See? "Not by works, not by deeds, not by power, not by might, by My Spirit," saith God. Not what I done, what I am, or what I will be, but what He is, and I am in Him. And whatever He is, I'm part of Him. Amen. I'm saved because I'm part of Him, and He's--He is God, and I'm part of Him, being His son. That's right. So it ain't what I done, what I will do, it's what He has done. That's my trust, right there.

L-792-252 All right. So they seen they couldn't get nowhere. (I'll skip a few of these Scriptures here.) They seen they couldn't get anywhere with Him, so you know the next thing they had to do to try to get Him off the field? They went and said to His brethren and His mother, "You know, he's awfully tired. You should take him off to one side for a while." That bunch of hypocrites. They just didn't... The thing it was, they just didn't want to get... The thing they didn't want to do, they wanted to get rid of Him. It wasn't that they thought He was so tired; they'd liked for Him to work Himself to death. But every time He went out, the miracles started pouring, the Word of God went forth. My, wouldn't I have liked to have heared Him stand up there that day on the seacoast, when He called Simon Peter and said, "Follow Me." Would I liked to have got on a chunk and set down there, left my nets and left my fishing pole, Brother Crase, and set down there and lean back against the chunk and listening to Him preach, when He got in that boat. Oh, my, my. Would I have loved to have heard Him when He said that, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, I'll give you rest." Amen. I'd like to have heared Him say it.

L-793-253 They tried to get His mother and them to take Him off the field. They said, "Well, you know, he's--he's overworked. I believe you'd better get him off that way." Any way that they could get rid of Him. That's all they wanted. Yes, sir.
Again the many that went with Him, just to find a place to trap Him. Did you know that? People followed right along with Him just to find a place. They give Him, one day, a penny and they said, "Rabbi..." ('fore they give Him a penny), said, "Rabbi, we're Jews. We know you're a great man of God. (Oh, that hypocrite. See, see?) We know you're a great man of God. Yes, sir, Rabbi. (They's walking right along with Him.) Oh, good morning, Brother. Oh, we're so happy you're over here in our country. Oh, we're so glad to see you. We are really for you, teeth and toe nails, Brother. If you're going to have a revival, we even might cooperate with you." See what they're trying to do is set a trap for Him. See?
