<TITLE>06. Par 50-59</TITLE>L-50 And remember, Jesus was human; so much human, He could die; so much human, He could cry; so much human, He could hunger. He was, in one sense, human, because He was the creative Son of God. God dwelt in Him. Now, but He was human. And He was human and God, together. God created a blood Cell in the womb of the virgin Mary.

L-51 Which, we know the blood come, the hemoglobin, is from the male sex. A hen can lay an egg, a bird; but if she hasn't been with the male, it will not hatch. It's not fertile. So it comes from the male.

L-52 And in this case, the male was God, a Spirit, Jehovah, the Father. And He overshadowed the virgin and created this blood Cell that brought forth the Man, Christ Jesus, which was the Son of God. Now, He was neither Jew nor Gentile. He was God. Cause, you see, He wasn't Jewish blood, neither was He Gentile blood. He was God's Blood, creative Blood to redeem us. So there's neither Jew nor Gentile can say He belonged to us or that. He belonged... He died for Adam's fallen race, for both sides, for all people, everywhere, who would believe Him.

L-53   Now, taking this little rest, His disciples went back to their sails. And I'd imagine they were quite seamen because they would been born there on the sea, and raised there, and knowed all the--the details of the sea and this treacherous waters, and where the currents was, and where the fish was, and the hours and times. So they took up their oars and followed Him. He was going over to Gadara. He'd just finished a revival on this other side, as He was going to cross the sea.

L-54 Now, being tired, He goes back into the back of the ship, and--and one of the writers said He laid down on a pillow: must have been tired. And you just think for a few moments, and how He labored to save us. All these things were for our good. And He goes back, to lay down. Now, the disciples...

L-55   The revival is over. The revival of that day is finished, and now they are back to their task of oaring and sailing. And they must have been rejoicing over the works that they had seen Him do. The works that He had done, must have been discussing His acts, because He was back in the boat, asleep.

L-56 And I think that, whole lot, applies to this time where we're living, see, the revival that we've just been through, this pentecostal revival, great healing revival that shook the entire world around. Just think, revival fires is burning on every hill over the world, around and around the world. I travel it, constantly. Fixing to make another world tour. And in every land, and in every nation, the revival fires of pentecost is burning. The Presbyterians are receiving it, the Baptists, the Lutheran, the Methodists. It surely is the last watch that when God is calling His people. And these great fires of revival are burning.

L-57 And these disciples, as we are today, the revival was over. And they had gathered up at the front of the ship, maybe, or at their oars, and they were talking about what He had done, His works, which declared Him plainly to them, of being what He claimed to be.

L-58   Now, you know, a person can claim to be most anything. But that isn't the sign that they are what they claim to be. See? We--we find that in every walk of life. We find salesmen that claim to be salesmen, and they're not. We find electricians who claim to be electricians, and they're not. We find mechanics who claim to be mechanics, and are not. And we find men who claim to be Christians, and are not.

L-59 Jesus plainly stated what a Christian was. See? "These signs shall follow them that believe," see, what they would do, what the believing Church would do. And Him being God, and infinite, He--He--He said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word will never fail." So, it must ever remain that way. He said it. I believe it.
