<TITLE>19. Par 178-183</TITLE>L-178 What? "Sirs, we would see Jesus." What kind of a Person would you look for. The same kind of Person that was. Now, you don't go down a street here and look for a--a man with some kind of a robe on, and nail sears across his head, or whatever it is. Any hypocrite can do that. That's right. Anybody can impersonate that. But it'd be the Life that was in Christ will be in His Church. That's it, the Life.
If you took the life out of a--a pumpkin vine, and put it over in a grapevine, it would bear pumpkins, if it could live like that. Sure, the life in it...
And that's where the Life is now. The Life of Christ in the Church, produces Christ over again. That's how they see Christ. The... In John 14:12 He said, "He that believeth in Me, not make-believeth; but he that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also. More than this shall he do, for I go to My Father." Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-181 Christians... Being a missionary, seen hundreds of different gods, yes, thousands of them, all kinds, Sikhs, Jains, Buddha, all the other kinds that's put together. See? I was entertained here not long ago in India (where I had my largest crowd, five hundred thousand in one gathering), and there I was entertained in the temple of the Jains. And in there was seventeen different religions, seventeen different gods, and every one of them against Christianity. But, oh, my, you ought to have seen Him come on the scene. Every one of their founders is dead and gone. Ours rose again, and He's alive forevermore, living in His Church, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-182 Let us bow our heads. Lord Jesus, we're so happy to talk about You. You're so lovely and so worthy of all we could say. But, Father, just one Word from You would do more than all I could ever say or any other minister. Just one Word from You would settle it. Won't You do it tonight, Father, as we're waiting now, just for a moment, for You, I pray. We'll--we'll wait not a moment for You, Lord, we'll wait till You're ready. We want to hear from You. I pray, heavenly Father, tonight, as I've held the audience again long. But they're so lovely, Lord. And I know the evening sun is gone. We're just living in the shadows now. And, God, there may be somebody that don't know You. I pray that You'll come to us tonight, Lord, in the form of the Holy Spirit, and let the people see You, see the same Jesus that they seen in the days gone by.

L-183 It wasn't the Man, the body (They crucified that, but God raised it up), but it was that Life that was in Him. He didn't say, "Come, see the way I wear My clothes; that's the sign I'm Messiah. Come, see what schools I come from, what creed I teach." No, that wasn't what, how He introduced Himself. But He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But though I do the works of My Father and you don't believe Me, believe the works; they are they that testify of Me. They're the one that makes Me known." And they seen that You was Messiah, because You was the Prophet, the God-Prophet.
And now tonight, Father, we pray that You will bless us tonight like You did Cleopas and his friend. After that they'd walked with You for three and a half years, and had seen the things that You did; then You were crucified, under Pontius Pilate--Pilate, You suffered, crucified, died. And on the third day, they were on their road to Emmaus. They'd heard a rumor by the women and some of the disciples, that He was risen. But that day You walked with them and talked with them practically all day long. They didn't know You.
Maybe many here has--You've walked with them and talked with them, and they didn't recognize It.
