<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-15-6 So John was convinced, and he begin to preach. And Andrew had been attending the meetings. And so when Jesus passed by, and Andrew and another disciple was there, John pointed out and said, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." And they followed Him. I like that. I wished I could have that much force to my preaching. When I say, "Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world"--and every person would take out after Him. My, direct me. "Where do I find Him, Brother Branham?" I can show you.

L-16-1 Not long ago I was in a Business Men's meeting, and I was preaching out on the west coast. And there's some fellow walked up to me, and he said, "Uh... Say, aren't you a preacher?"
And I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "What are you doing with these businessmen?"
I said, "I am a businessman."
And he said, "Uh... What kind of a business are you in?"
I said, "Assurance business."
He said, "What kind of insurance?"
I said, "Assurance."
He said, "What kind of a... is it?"
And I said, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine." I said, "If you're interested in a policy, I'd like to talk it over with you." Ha.

L-16-2 A friend of mine, Mr. Snyder, precious boy, he come up to my house; and I knew him when I was a little fellow, and we went to school together. And he said, "Billy, I would like to sell you some insurance."
Well, I had a little deal pulled to me one time on the insurance and I never did take it any more. So he said... I said, "Wilmer, I--I sure would--like you," but I said, "I--I already got assurance."
He said, "Oh, you have?" My wife looked at me as if I was a hypocrite. She knowed I didn't have any insurance, but I said, "assurance." See?
He said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Billy." He said, "What company is it with?"
I said, "The Eternal Life."
Said, "I don't believe I've ever heard of that company."
I said, "You should." Oh, I'm convinced that it's right. It's right.

L-17-2 So John preached and said, "There He is, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."
When I see Him move across an audience, pull a sinner or a sick person, speak to them, and know that's the very God (And anybody would know anything, would know that I couldn't do that.), I'd like to say, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." I like for people to say, "I believe it. I now repent of my sins. I believe on Jesus Christ." Oh, how I like to see them do that.

L-17-4 And these disciples took right off after Jesus. And He looked around and He found them. And He said, "What seek ye?"
And they said, "Rabbi (being interpreted, Master), where dwellest Thou?"
He said, "Come and see." Now, that is a wonderful invitation. Come and see. I like that.
That's what Philip said to Nathanael. When Nathanael said, "Could there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?" He said, "Come and see." So he went. Come find out. Don't set at home and criticize. Come find out. (See?) Come see for yourself.
Now, they said it was evening time, so Andrew stayed all night, Oh, that's a good way. He stayed until he was convinced. What that man had told him that night, what He had said to him, or what He did, there was something that completely convinced Andrew that He was the Messiah.

L-17-9 The next day real early, I imagine, he grabbed his coat and hat and took down, 'cause Peter was going to be fishing down on the river. And he said, "Come, see who we found. It's the Messiah." He was convinced. When he was perfectly convinced that it was the Messiah, he was concerned about his brother.
That's what's the matter tonight. People are not convinced of the Message. People are not convinced about the Holy Ghost. If you really get convinced, then you're concerned. You'll do everything you can to do every--what you got to do with it. You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I'm not a preacher." Well, you can do something too.
