<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 God become flesh, one of us, that He might take the inoculation, become subject to sin. For He was borned of a woman. He was tempted in all manners likewise as we are, and He couldn't do it as long as He was in the Spirit. He had to become flesh in order to be tempted, to take the inoculation, to take the toxin. He wanted to prove that His toxin was right. Amen. So He took it on the day that John baptized Him when the toxin came down out of heaven and filled Him.
Then the test come. It held in every mocking trial. It held when Satan offered Him the kingdoms of the world, to give Him the world, and every kingdom. The inoculation held. It stayed put. The world looked upon Him; the church looked upon Him; the critics looked upon Him; the devil put every trial on Him he could, and it still held. Amen.
When He stood before that bunch of educated priests, He said, "Which one of you can condemn Me of sin?" Amen. That inoculation held there. "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But if I do the works of My Father, then believe the works."
They said, "You're a man making yourself God."
He said, "If I don't do the works of My Father, then don't believe it." Said, "They are they that testify of Me. They speak of Me. My works speaks louder than My mouth can."

L-47 That's exactly right. You are what you are by the way you live. You're not what you are by the way you talk, or the way you dress, or the way that you are, but the way you live. That's what makes you what you are. The outside expresses what's on the inside. This hollow, shallow, card-playing, cigarette smoking generation that calls themselves Christians, bobbed-haired women, dancers, television fiends, nasty jokes, calling yourselves Christians, you need inoculation. Back to Pentecost again. That's right. We're in a great need.

L-48 It held on Jesus when He was tested of everything a man could be tested by. Every temptation that ever fell upon a man fell upon Him, but that inoculation held. If you want to know whether it'll hold or not, whether this thing's right or not, look at Him. He was your Example. It held with Him. It held on every trial. It held when He stood there and could discern the thoughts of the people, and they called Him Beelzebub: didn't stop Him, He went right on just the same.
When He knowed the thoughts in their hearts, when He looked out and told the woman at the well she had five husbands, told Peter what his name was, and so forth, they said, "This man's a fortuneteller."
Now, He didn't say, "Well, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe..." It held. Why? He knowed where He come from.

L-49 I asked my class the other night, when we was preaching on the 3rd chapter of Saint John, I said, "I'm going to leave you hang on this till the next meeting. When Jesus stood there and said, 'No man has ascended up but He--up into heaven but He that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven...'"
That takes inoculation. "No man has ascended into heaven but He that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is now in heaven," and here He was standing, talking to Nicodemus. The church, they slobber, ignore it for about a few hours. Directly they quit.
I said, "It proved He was God. He's omnipresent." That's exactly right. Sure. He was inoculated. "It's not Me that doeth these works. It's My inoculation. My Father that dwelleth in Me, He's the One's doing the works. And the works that I do (Saint John 12:4), he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Amen.
What's the matter with the churches? What's the matter today they can condemn it, say it's of the devil? They haven't been inoculated yet. They don't know what the serum is. That's the reason. It's unbelief, and unbelief is sin. He that believeth not's condemned already. Unbelief is what does it.
