<TITLE>08. Par 24-28</TITLE>L-24 Now, in the book of Saint John 12 and the--the... We're going to begin at the 20th verse, and read the 20th and 21st verse.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
Now, for a--a subject I would like to take that "We Would See Jesus" A text, Hebrews 13:8:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to day, and for ever.
Now, let's look right straight into the face of the Word of God.

L-25 Now, the Bible said here that there were Greeks that came up to worship that had heard about Jesus, and came to one of His disciples to see if they could see Him. And they were granted that privilege. Now, the... How many here would like to see Jesus, just truly from your heart? All of us. See my hand? Well, then the question is this: now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and our desire is the same desire of those Greeks, why can't we see Him?
And you can't make the Bible say something wrong, because It doesn't. Now, if God is God, He's got to stand by this Word. He must keep that Word in order to be God.
Now, these Greeks desired to see Him. He's no respect of persons; the Bible says. And they desired to see Him, and they was granted the privilege of seeing Him. Now, the Scripture doesn't say they talked to Him; they just saw Him. And that's what we want to do. We want to see Him.

L-26 Now, we know that He was... He suffered under Pontius Pilate. He was crucified, died, buried, rose the third day, and ascended into heaven, and now sets at the right hand of the majesty of God on high, ever-living to make intercessions upon our confession. We know that. And He is right now a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. We know the Bible teaches that, the New Testament.

L-27 Now, if our desire tonight, as a congregation of people that's assembled together... There was only two then, and they got to see Him. And now, there's perhaps a hundred and fifty, and we want to see Him. So if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, let's see Him, and see what He was.
What type of person do you think those Greeks were looking for? Were they looking for a rabbi with His robes on and a turban hat? Well, any man could've wore robes with a turban hat. Any man today could do the same thing. So if we seen a man, and wanted to see Jesus, which was Messiah, the anointed Christ, then we could see any man then that wore a turban and a--and a cloak like they'd have thought he'd have wore, like a priest. That would've been Jesus. It'd be very confusing then to see as many men that dresses like that. So they did not want to see His dress.
So maybe they wanted to see His stature, maybe how high He was, how large a shoulders that He would have, or the certain fashion He--He wore His hair, or something. Then any man could impersonate that. But they wanted to see the anointed One. So if they wanted to see the anointed One, they would--they would be looking for a anointed Christ.

L-28 Now, the Bible said... I'm reading in Saint John. We're going back to the 1st chapter of Saint John and see just what He was. We're almost to the middle, 12th chapter now of Saint John. Let's go back to the first of Saint John to see what He was. And if we can find out what He was, then we know what He is. Is that right? Then we'll know what we're looking for.
Now, if He should come to this lovely city on this beautiful island here of Victoria here, and we would be looking for Him (and we are tonight), and here's His promise that He's the same, then we've got to find out what we're looking for. If we would, we...
