<TITLE>08. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Then after His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, Saul of Tarsus was on his road down to Damascus to arrest those people that'd become Pentecostal. And on his road down he was stricken down by a great Light, same Pillar of Fire, returned back to God: came from God; returned to God. And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?"
He said, "I am Jesus (See?), and it's hard for you to kick against the pricks."
Now, to go back and find out, we see that...
We'll--we'll base it on through the week greater, make it more plainer. But I--I--I didn't set my watch to alarm tonight. I'm watching that clock there. So we'll try to leave it like that.

L-33 Now, He was in the Old Testament a Pillar of Fire; He was on earth the Son of God manifested, same God in flesh; and now He's in the form of the Holy Spirit: the same God in three offices, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, making Himself... That's the reason Matthew said baptize in the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It was the fatherhood, sonship, and Holy Ghost, the same God using three different offices: God condescending.

L-34 God, holy, couldn't come around sin. All right. Even a--a beast touched the mountain must be thrust through. So great was the quake till even they cried out, "Let Moses speak and not God," 'cause sin was horrible. And then God, made flesh among us, worked with us... I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in flesh." There He was in flesh, making Himself known, a little closer to us. Now, what...
He died to redeem a church and all that was in Him. Now, He's come in the form of the Holy Ghost: God above us, God with us, God in us. See? God in us the same yesterday, today, and forever, the Holy Spirit working, carrying out, finishing the works of Christ, which was in Christ. Now, remember. All that God was He poured into His Son, Jesus Christ. And all that Christ was He poured into His church. See, makes Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-35 Now, notice. Let's find out what He was. Now, in the beginning, I John the 1st chapter... We're going to stay in John tonight. Tomorrow night we'll go in another--readings and so forth, another writer, some place else in the Bible. But notice. Now, in John's writing, starts out back there, "In the beginning was the Word."
Now, what is a word? A word is a thought expressed. You have to think it before you express it. That's the reason Jesus said to the Pharisees, "You hypocrites, how can you say good, and when--call Me good..." and so forth, when He knew in their hearts they were thinking evil of Him.
Said, "From the heart... The--the--the mouth speaketh from the heart." If you don't, then it's--it's your thoughts expressing themselves, and you express something else. Then it's hypocrisy, it isn't coming from your heart.
