<TITLE>13. Par 118-130</TITLE>L-118   But what I'm trying to say, we're trying to find that Person, Jesus. That's the Person we're trying to find. What about this Word? That, can that Word lie? No, sir, It can't lie and be God. God can't lie. And this Word is God. The Bible said It was. And so now we're trying to find what He is.

L-119 How could we identify Him? Not in clothes, not in denominations, not in speeches. How we going to find Him? We're going to find Him in the Person what He is, that He is now. Notice, that's the way they knowed Him back there. Not by His dress, not by His education from His school.

L-120 He could declare no school He come from. Said, "Whence cometh Thee? What school did He come from? We know nothing about this Man." Sure, they never had any record of Him anywhere. But He...

L-121   That's the way the prophets come up. They didn't know where they come from. They know nothing about Elijah, about the rest of them. They just come from nowhere, and went away. That's all they know. It's men that God can get a hold of. Men like you, that God can get a hold of and declare Himself, that He might righteously judge a generation, that He might judge a nation, judge a world. Because, the Word has to go forth somewhere, and He sees to it that the Elected gets in to hear That.

L-122   Now we find out, that when Jesus was--was speaking, and He recognizes, there were those... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.].

L-123 There were those who standing there, who had to answer to their congregation. There were those there who had to answer to their denominations, whether Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodian, whatever they might be. And so they stood there, and they said, "This Man does that by Beelzebub. He is a fortuneteller," in other words. "He is a telepathist. He reads their mind."

L-124 "Jesus perceiving their thoughts." They didn't have to say it out loud. He knew what they were thinking. He caught their thoughts.

L-125   He is the same today as He was then. He knows what you're thinking, see. If He is the Word, He has to remain as the Word. Now, in Hebrews 4, the Bible said that, "The Word of God is quicker, more powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, a discerner even of the thoughts of the heart." What is it? The Word, the Word of God can discern the thoughts that's in your heart.

L-126 That's exactly what He was, the Word, and the Word could discern the thoughts that's in the heart. See? Now, that's what the Word was. They should have known that, see, that that's the reason. He perceived their thoughts, looked upon them. And He said, "I'll forgive you for it," for He had not yet been crucified. The Holy Spirit had not yet come.

L-127   "But," He said, "when the Holy Spirit is come," to do the same thing that He was doing, 'cause He promised It would, see, "when the Holy Ghost is come, He'll bring these things to your remembrance, what I've taught you, and will show you things to come." See? "Now when He comes to do this same thing that I'm doing, one word against It will never be forgiven, in this world and in the world that is to come." See, that's how strict it will be in these last days. See? It'll separate, see.

L-128 Then God in His judgment, like He did in Eden, He can justly say, "You saw it. You know it. I proved it, and you didn't believe it." That's it.

L-129   Now, and watch what He did when He did this, what He said. Philip said, "Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel." Jesus told him that greater things than this would he say. Now, that was to the Jews.

L-130 Now there is three races of people in the earth, as much as we--we want to believe, that's: Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. We always... God is perfect in three's. And there is three sons of Noah, and from them three sons brought forth the whole race of people.
