<TITLE>08. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 Now, I know many of us don't have faith, and I don't have faith to make all of His promises come to true--to pass. But I sure wouldn't stand in the way of somebody that did have that kind of faith. As I've often said, "I wished I had enough faith like Enoch had, to take a little afternoon walk and go up home with Him. I wished I could have that kind of faith." But I... If I haven't got it, I won't stand in somebody else's way that has got it. I'll say, "Thank God for that precious brother or sister who has faith to walk right out of life without dying." That would be wonderful.
But we believe that there's coming a time that when there will be an afternoon or morning walk of some kind, and there'll be many on earth will be caught away in the rapture at the coming of the Lord. And I believe we're nearing that time.

L-32 Now. Now, the Bible's saying that He is the same... That's what I'm trying to get to you, that you must realize this: that the Bible said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And the Greeks wanted to see Him, and they were taken to Him by one of His disciples. Then, would it not be possible, if He is the same, for another true disciple to take you to Him, let us see Him?
Now, it's been the cry of the human heart since the dawn of time to see God. Job, the oldest book in the Bible, they claim was wrote before Moses wrote Genesis... Now, that Moses... or, Job cried out, "Oh, that I might know (in other words), know where He lives at, if I could knock on the door, if I could talk to Him. (See?) If I could just see somewhere that I could go knock on the door, I'd like to reason it out with Him." Every man is trying to look a past that curtain, knows that he come from somewhere out of the darkness, knows that he's here in human life and he's crossing back through there again somewhere. So every man is trying to find out what is the door, and how to--where we come from, and where we're going. It's always been the cry of the human heart.

L-33 And yet, if we would stop just for a moment, He's so real around us until there's... Why, He's just everywhere. God is... He lives in every creature that's got life in it. He's living there. Every plant, every flower, everything else, God lives in it.
But now, instead of going into that, which we might later, I want to get this point to you: now, if Jesus was in Santa--Santa Maria tonight, what type of person would you look for? Now, we know that His physical body, which was borned of the virgin Mary, that was crucified, and died, buried, and rose the third day, and ascended up to the right hand of the Majesty on high, sets there tonight a High Priest, ever living to make intercessions upon our confession. And He's also a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Right now He is that kind of a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities.

L-34 Now. The only way... If I ask all you Lutheran, "What do you think about Him?" why, He'd be Lutheran; all the Catholic, He'd be Catholic; the Pentecostal, He'd be Pentecost, and so forth. Let's just... The only true way to find it out is this: let's find out what He was yesterday. And if you can see what He was yesterday, then He's got to be the same today, and will be forever. Just lay the church body aside, of their ideas of it, and let's just find out what He was yesterday.
Now, we remember that He's been promised. Since the garden of Eden, from the very first day of sin came in the garden of Eden, and God called Adam and Eve to judgment, He promised the Seed of the woman should crush the serpent's head--a Saviour.
