<TITLE>04. Par 34-41</TITLE>L-34   Let's turn now in the Scriptures, to the 4th chapter of Saint Mark, the 35th verse, to read, if you like to follow or--or maybe keep it wrote down. I know, a lot of people, they take and mark in their Bible, a little text, where a minister speaks from, and from there they--they like to refer back to it. And I like to read these little simple Bible Messages and speak of them, it just thrills my heart to do so. The 35th verse of the 4th chapter of Saint Mark.
And the same day, when evening was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over to the other side.
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there was also with him other little ships.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping, sleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and said unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

L-35   For just a--a little talk, tonight, I'd like to take a text from that, and call it this: Calling Jesus On The Scene. Let us call Jesus on the scene.

L-36 You know, I can imagine about how He felt. He had just had a great day. And it... He was tired. And He had been speaking much that day, teaching the parables. If you'll notice, of the mustard seed and different things. He had had a great day of healing the sick, and--and teaching, and His physical strength was just about played out. And if any minister knows, just in our little ministries that we've got, how it tires us, what must it have done to Him?

L-37   Remember, in flesh He was just a man, but in Spirit He was God. But, a man in flesh, therefore His body was a human being that was subject to temptations, subject to sicknesses, and just the same as ours; as He had to put on, be a--a Man, a human. And then He was God, in the Spirit. He said, "I and My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me."

L-38 When John baptized Him on the river, Jordan, we see God descending from Heaven like a dove, and the Voice saying, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I am pleased to dwell." Now if you take the original, and really the way it's wrote, it's, "Whom I am pleased to dwell in." See? But they put the verb before the adverb. "In Whom I am pleased to dwell, or, in Whom I am pleased to dwell; Whom I'm pleased to dwell in." See?

L-39   He, God, dwelt in Christ, and in Him was the fulness of the Godhead, bodily. God expressing Hisself through Jesus, and Jesus was the vindication of God. Can you understand it now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See, not three people; three attributes of one God. Not three gods; three gods, heathen. See? Not three gods, not... Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, isn't three different gods. It's one God in three manifestations.

L-40 God, the Father, in the form of the Holy Spirit was in a Pillar of Fire, and, That, no one could touch around Him. He was holy. No sin offering was made; just a potential offering.

L-41   Now, that same Pillar of Fire, the Fatherhood, came down and was made God in Sonship. He dwelt in a Pillar of Fire, here He... in the Shekinah Glory. Here He dwelt in a body, which was His Son that He created and made in the form of a man, so that made Him the Son of God, Second Adam. Now, He had to come through the womb of a woman, not like Adam, because that that's what He had to condemn, the birth of a human being by a woman. See, so He had to come that way. Now that's God, the Son, the same God. And now He, through offering that body without sin, made a human offering.
