<TITLE>18. Par 63-65</TITLE>L-63 Any man or woman that's ever amounted to a hill of beans believe that. It's thrilled the hearts of poets down through the years. If I could call on scene today somebody that believed that...
I think of Eddie Perronet. All of you know the poet, Eddie Perronet. No one would buy his poetry. They didn't want nothing to do with it. One day he was crying, and he went into his study, and he said, "O God, what can I do?" And he grabbed his pen, and he wrote the inauguration song. What did you say, Eddie Perronet? He said,
All hail the power of Jesus' Name.
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all. Amen.
Another one said,
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
Someday He's coming--oh, glorious day. Amen.
God in His Son, reconciling the world to Himself. Amen.
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
Rising, He justified freely forever;
And someday He's coming--oh, glorious day.
Hoskins wrote,
When I survey the wondrous cross
Where on the Prince of glory died;
I count all my fame to be but loss.
Blind Fanny Crosby screamed out,
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
For Thou, the stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Or whom in heaven but Thee?" Amen. Amen.

L-64 God in His Son, do you believe He was? He looked like God; He acted like God; He said He was God. He cried like God; He healed like God; He died like a man; and He rose like God. He was God manifested in the flesh. God was in His Son. Do you believe it? God was in His universe. You believe it? God is in His Word. You believe it? God is in His Son. You believe it?
Could you see Him in Christ? Jesus said, "When you see Me you see the Father. Why sayest thou, Show Me the Father?" God was in the Son, reconciling the world--the world to Himself. Now, God in His universe, you believe it? God in His Word, you believe it? God in His Son, you believe it?

L-65 Now, God in His people. Amen. There you get Father, Son, Holy Spirit, same God all the time, condescending. Once holy, man away from Him, he couldn't come near. Even a sheep touch the mountain, or a ox, must be thrust through. When He stood on top of Sinai and roared out His voice, nothing could come near, because there was no sacrifice but the animal. That was God above us.
Then God condescending, He came down and we felt Him. I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: for God was manifested in the flesh, seen of Angels, believed on, received up into glory." We seen God express Hisself through His Son, Christ Jesus.
Now, God above us, God with us, now God in us. All that God was He poured into Christ, and all Christ was He poured into the church. "Yet a little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet you shall see Me, for I (and 'I' is a personal pronoun), I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the consummation." Hallelujah. Glory. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever..."
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
Rising, He justified freely forever.
No wonder He's the Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, He that was, which is, and shall come. He that was dead is alive forevermore, manifesting Hisself after two thousand years, proves that He's here. God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son, God in His people: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.
