<TITLE>07. Par 64-78</TITLE>L-64   But now look. One day, over at Sychar, a little city of Samaria, and Jesus passed through and set on the side of the wall. And a little woman, ill-famed, bad name; she had a lot of husbands she oughtn't to had. And here she come up, to get some water, And Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink. And bring a drink." And she told Him that they--they couldn't do that. It wasn't right. It was an insult for her to... for Him to ask a Samaritan woman such a thing.

L-65 And He quickly told her, "If you knew Who you were talking to!" Now, she didn't know it. Said, "If you knew Who it was talking to you, you'd ask Me for a drink."

L-66 The subject went on for a moment. After while, Jesus, being sent up there to the well, said to her, "Go, get your husband."

L-67 She said, "I don't have any." Still she was blinded, see, because any man could teach a theology, see, or he can make any kind of a statement. He can say whatever he wants to, that still don't make it right.
He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any husband."

L-68 He said, "You've told the truth, for you've had five, and the one you're now living with is not yours. You told the truth."

L-69 Watch that Light struck that germ of Life. The plant went to growing. Quickly, magic, quickly; this prostitute, out-scourged, kicked-out, not a trained priest! A woman in bad life, but she was predestinated to Eternal Life. And when that Light struck it, quickly she recognized it.

L-70 She said, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet. Now, we haven't had one for four hundred years, but yet we know that there's coming a Messiah. And that Messiah will be a prophet, and He will tell us these things." See, she knowed a Man that told her that wouldn't tell her a lie.

L-71 And He knew it. And He said, "I am He, that speaks with you."

L-72 She never asked another question, but, into the city, and said, "Come, see a Man!"

L-73 Look at the difference. See, when that Light strikes, it'll either blind or bring to Life. See? It's got to. Life, Bible Scripture!

L-74   Now, there could have been many things that people could have talked about. Some of them said like this, "Never a man spake like this Man." Some of them believed, said, "This Man seems to have an authority. He seems to be so positive in what He talks about. We never seen a man that could stand up and just speak things like that. We've heard priests talk. We've heard rabbis, priests, and all, everything, and lectures, and so forth. But this Man talks with authority. He knows what He's talking about. Never a man spake like that."
Some said, "He's Beelzebub."

L-75   It must have been John, a young fellow, you know, thinking fast. Must have been him that said, "Just think of it! The One that could take five biscuits and two fish, and feed five thousand, amen; the One that knows the secret of the heart; He is with us, in the ship. We've got Him right here. Brethren, you're testifying," he might have said, "but the One that we're thinking about, He is right here with us."

L-76 That's the same thing right now, the One that we preach about, the One that we talk about. What good is a God of Moses if He isn't the same God today? The One that we talk about is here with us. Oh, what a thing to think about!

L-77   And then, you see, also they were on a dangerous lake. And what a--a feeling of security, while sailing the--the tornado-ed lake, to know that One laid with them, on the ship.

L-78 How secure you can be! When the seas are troubled, when they're not troubled, just don't make a bit of difference. As long as you know He's laying right there, what difference does it make? Let come, let go, what may, doesn't make a bit of difference. It's there. I know it. You say, "I... Bless the Lord!" Doctor say you're going to die with a cancer; just say, "Glory to God! Quick trip Home, maybe." See? They don't mind.
