<TITLE>10. Par 94-104</TITLE>L-94 How could a man walk to a grave where a dead man laid, and say, "Lazarus, come forth," that wasn't God?

L-95 How could a man stand on a ship, when ten thousand devils of the sea swore they would drown Him, Him and His disciples, that night, and could put His foot upon the brail of the boat, and look up and say, "Peace, be still," and the winds and the waves obeyed Him?

L-96   How could a man look down into a human heart, and say, "You done such-and-such and such-and-such"? It had to be God.

L-97 It was thoroughly vindicated. And he wasn't asked just to invest in something, that, just a--a mythical thought, or some cult. It was thoroughly identified, what his investment was to be in.

L-98 If he could have said, "Now I don't know about this." But, you see, he called Him, "Good Master." And he knew there was something, but yet he wasn't ready to take the medicine, because Jesus asked him something to do.

L-99 And that's what does the hindrance among men today, is they... They believe there is God. There is no man with good intelligence but what knows there is God, because, if he doesn't recognize God, the Bible plainly says he is not mentally right. He is a fool, see. The Bible said, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.'" Now, but if he believes there is God, but yet he is not willing to separate himself in the very same way that Jesus was asking this young man, young businessman, to make his investments.

L-100   He saw Something, in Jesus, that other men never had. He saw there was Something that Jesus had, that those priests didn't have. He saw Something that the rabbis, the teachers, none of them had It. But he recognized It in Jesus, and recognized It to be God. But he thought, "Well, if I can come in, why, and not have to do all this, I'll go find out." But he found out that there is only one Way to come.

L-101 And that's where the world has got to learn today, and Christ is that Way; not a church, not an affiliation, a denomination, as good as they may be, and I have nothing against them in that manner. But yet you've got to realize that it's Christ, the new Birth.

L-102   Men, you businessmen of this city, I--I'm not condemning your churches, as you sit here. We appreciate you being here. But I'm--I'm trying to--to sell you an assurance, this morning. I'm not trying to sell it to you; I'm a representative of this, of this firm, and I--I--I want to tell you that the policy is free. See? And it has, it's well identified on earth today, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, by His same works, His same signs, His same Gospel, the same Word of God. He is perfectly identified as it was then.

L-103 Now you are here this morning for some reason. See? Why, why are you here anyhow? There is a little tinkle in there that tells you. Now, I'm not saying leave your church. You go to your church a better person than you was when you left it, and you'll be a light that's set upon a hill, a candle that's lit and not covered with a basket. You'll have Eternal Life.

L-104   Now we find out, it puts a man right back in the place where the--the--the people are today. The--the Bible said over here... I have a Scripture written down here, I'd like to refer to. Jesus said, in the 3rd chapter of Revelation, that the--the Laodicea church, the Laodicea church, is the last church age. And we are all believing that we're living in the end time, and this is the last church age. Now compare this church age with that rich young ruler. Compare them.
