<TITLE>06. Par 55-62</TITLE>L-55 And now tired and weary, He goes back and takes this opportunity for a little rest while the ship is crossing the sea. Great day, maybe about this time in the evening, or a little later, they crossing the sea, now while Jesus went back to the hinder part, back in the stern of the ship, probably went into the little room back there, and laid down on a pillow. And while laying there, resting, the disciples, they thought, "Now our day's journey is over, or our work for Him, now we take up our regular task. Let's just start pulling the boat."

L-56   Just about like the disciples today, after the revival is over. And we all know it's over. You might as well settle that, it's over, the great revival that we've had. We're just gleaning. So, being over, each man goes back to his own church and whatmore, to take up, goes back to his old job again, whatever he is doing.

L-57 And we find out they did that while Jesus was taking a little rest. And now they must have begin to rejoice over the works that they had seen Him do, and discuss it with one another. Oh, I like to think of it that way, that--that they were rejoicing over the revival they had had that day.

L-58   You know, it's just like His disciples now. When you go home, if the Lord Jesus meets with us tonight, and will do something outstanding, something like He did last night, make the paralyzed to get up and walk, and different things. See? Now, if He would do that, or someone get saved, or something, then you'll go home and maybe, the lady and her husband, the children or so forth, will sit down and talk about it.

L-59 That's what these disciples, I believe, were doing. They were talking about what they had seen done. Oh, they must have been rejoicing over it. And they must have discussed His acts, of how that He was, had made Hisself prove that He was the promised Word of God. Now, the Messiah, He had proved to them by His acts, by His Word, by His action, that He was the anointed One. Now, the word "anointed," or, the--the--the word Christ means "anointed One." Therefore, there would be One anointed above all the prophets; for, the prophets had a portion of God, but He had the fulness of God. See? Now, so man could just have a portion. He had the fulness of the Godhead, bodily. Now they were talking, and how that proved that He was, because by the Word that they had knowed of, and heard Him explain, proved to them Who He was. Oh, what a great conversation that must have been amongst those disciples!

L-60   One of them would say, "Well, then, we know. We are satisfied. We believe He is that Messiah." Now, see, they thought He didn't understand it; He was back in the back part of the ship. So--so they said, "He must, we know that He must be the disciple... must be the anointed Messiah."

L-61 Then they must have discussed the attitudes of the people. Now they must have said something like this, "If we can see that, yet we uneducated people, we fishermen from off the lake here; and we can see and know, and read our Scriptures and know that He perfectly fits that picture, and know that He is the identified by God, that He is that Messiah. Why can't the intellectuals see it? What's the matter with them, that they can't see it?" They discussed the attitudes. "Some of them, some people believed, some didn't."

L-62 Why, it's the same as it is today. Some people will believe Him today, others do not. But, He, that don't change Him a bit, He is still the same. It don't change Him.
