<TITLE>12. Par 113-122</TITLE>L-113 Take the 22nd Psalm, and sing it, and compare it with the morning of the crucifixion. See, "My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me? All My bones, they stare at Me. They pierced My feet and My hands." Yet, all those things there, them singing that Psalm down there in the temple, and crucifying the very One. See? See, those great religious leaders, those great men, those great teachers, and yet so blinded, that was reading the prophets and was singing the songs, and doing the crime that they said they would do.
The same thing is taking place this morning!

L-114   Now listen close, 'cause... Now I ain't going to even pay any attention to what that clock says. I want you to get this. See? I don't care. See? [Congregation rejoices and says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-115 So you can see here, basically, in the beginning, the very thought that God had in His mind, He hid it from all of those scholars. And the... Just a number, a selected predestinated number, a predestinated people, was the only ones that heard it. And now search back the Scripture down through the age of the prophets, and see if it wasn't the same thing. See?

L-116 Now, and Jesus here referring them to the prophets and the Psalms, He said they all spoke of Him. See? And here these Jewish teachers, rabbis, doctors of the law, professors, had did exactly like they had done before.

L-117   Now notice, again, He said, "Search the Scriptures, for They are They that testify of Me." Search the Scriptures, the Scriptures, the entire Scriptures. What am I trying to do? To show you that this Bible is the thing that's right.

L-118   The other day, standing in a hospital room, talking, a sister had asked me to explain about denominations, why we was--was against denominations, with some denominational people.

L-119 You see, it's got to come back to the Word, because the Word is God. See? And Jesus declaring the same here, that the Word is Him. You can't make the Scripture contradict Itself. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And, the Word, made flesh!" See?

L-120   Now here He says, "Search the Scriptures, They testify of Me. In Them you think you have Eternal Life," and that's true, "and They are the One that bear record of Me. And I'm bearing record of Them. And if I do not the works that's promised that I would do, then don't hear Me. But if I do the works, and you can't believe Me, believe the works, because they testify that He is the Word." Oh, it looks like it couldn't be any plainer. See? All right. Now, "Search the Scriptures." He said Moses and all the laws, and so forth, and the prophets, and Psalms, spoke of Him. And, again, He said the Scriptures testify of Him.

L-121   He is the principle theme of the entire Bible. If you read the Bible, and don't see Christ in every verse of It, go back and read It again. See? If you can't see Christ in every verse of the Bible, then you read It again, because you've missed something. The Bible is Christ. He is the Word. When you read, "In the beginning God created," there is Christ. See? Every... From that, to the "Amen" in Revelations, is every Word testifying of Jesus Christ.

L-122 That's why these added books that they call "the Second Book of Daniel, and the--the Book of the Maccabees, and Agges Purgatory," and stuff like that, see, it's not spoke of in the Scripture. See? It doesn't theme up with the rest of It. There's no place to place purgatory in there. There is no place to place intersection of saints, and things. There is no place in there for that. There is no place for a denomination. There is no place for--for a creeds outside of It, of the Bible. See? So when you see those things, they--they just don't come into the picture. And that's why people has added those, and got their--their--their jigsaw puzzle all mixed up. See? They can't make it right, "same yesterday, today, and forever!"
