<TITLE>24. Par -</TITLE>L-37-1 Oh, I wished I just had about ten minutes to read something here, but I... Would you bear with me another ten minutes? I want to read something. Just a little bit. Now, I... Honestly, the beans won't burn; I'll just assure you (See?), if we'll just read this just for a few minutes. It's just too good to let go. I just got a couple things here that just comes on my mind that I would like to say. Let's turn to St. John the 3rd chapter, talking about Life Eternal. Let's just find out what it says here about this Eternal Life problem and God's Life. Now, now watch here.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came therefore to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:... no man can do these miracles..., except God be with him.
Now, they--them Sanhedrin courts, they recognized that He was the Son of God. They knowed it. Here was their ruler right here telling Him, "We know that You're a teacher comes from God, because the very Life of God's flowing through You." See? "We know that Your teach is not of Your own; it's of God, because God's proving it." See? "The Life of God is flowing right through You."

L-38-1 Now, watch.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,..., I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. (Oh, my. "Unless you join my church..." Oh, see how they get it off? See, see?)
Jesus then--Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and... Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
That which is born of... flesh is flesh; and that which is born of... Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I say unto you, Ye must be born again.
The wind blows where it listeth,... (See? Right back again. See? Coming back. See?)... The wind blows where it listeth, and thou canst not hear the sound--hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell from whence it come, or where it goeth: so is every one that's borned of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and know not these things?... (Look at there, brother, a D.D., Ph.D., double L.D. See?)... and know not these things?
Verily,... I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that which we have seen; and you receive not our witness... (We know these things. We've seen them; we know it, and you don't even receive our witness, church joiner. See?)
If I've told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you... heavenly things? (Now, listen at this here. Now, watch.)
And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (Figure that one out.)

L-38-2 You know one time He said, "What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He?"
They said, "The Son of David."
He said, "Then why did David in the Spirit, say to Him, 'The Lord said unto my Lord, "Set Thou on My right hand"'? How can He be His Lord and His Son?" No man asked Him anything else.
In Revelation He said, "I am the Root and the Offspring of David." See? "I am the Vine and the Branch. I'm the Beginning. I was before the beginning; I was the Beginning, and--and I was the Offspring of him too."
Now, here He said, "No man has come down from heaven, but the Son of man which now is in heaven."
A lady asked me one time, a question, I said, "Answer this one for me."
Said, "Who'd Jesus pray to in the garden of Gethsemane?"
I said, "Who was He talking about when He said, 'No man has ascended to heaven, but He that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in--which now is in heaven'?" See?
