<TITLE>08. Par 66-74</TITLE>L-66 We're looking for the Person, Jesus Christ. See, the Person, Jesus Christ! Now, if the Bible said, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever," then He must be that, or the Bible said something wrong. Then, I don't believe God would judge the world by anything wrong.

L-67 Then where we at again? See, we're all out in a muddle again, because there is everything, this church says, "we got It," and, "we got It," and, "we got It," and so forth. But if you've got It, you would show It, that's right, see, the Person, Christ Jesus.

L-68   Now the only true way to find out what He is, is find out what He was, see, because He is unchangeable. God can never change. He has never changed. "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." He must ever remain the same. His Word must remain the same. His plans must ever be the same.

L-69 Now we have tried everything in the world, to get by, away from His plans. But it still remains, His is the only way. Men has tried to make a way to educate men to fellowship; it failed. We've tried to denominate them to fellowship; it failed. God has one place that He meets men, that's under the Blood. And outside of that... There is no failing. That's right. You got, must have, under the Blood.

L-70   Now, if a Catholic priest, an Orthodox Jew, and a Nazarene, and a Pilgrim Holiness, and a Pentecostal, can stand out here in their denominations and fuss with one another, all day long, and claim how greater each is, and so forth; but let them all come beneath that Blood and kneel beneath the cross, they got their arms around one another, and they are brothers because they have--they have things in common. And that's one thing that every born-again believer has in common, is the Blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses them.

L-71   A little story, here not long ago, of a--a family, a lovely little family was breaking up. A man and his wife had come to disagreement, and they were going to have a divorce. And the lawyer told them, said, "Now, if you don't want the courts to kind of take everything you've got, you should go down there, and between you, and divide the--the spoils up, from your family, your union."

L-72 So they go down to the home, and they met on a certain day. They went into the living room, and they fussed and they stewed about everything was in the living room. Then they went into the kitchen, and they fussed and stewed about what was in there, and the different rooms of the house. After a while, they decided to go up into the attic, because they had an old trunk up there. They had some old antique things, that they were laid away, so they went up into the attic to pull out this trunk. And, they, one would say, "This is mine," "this is mine," and they would argue over it.

L-73 In a few moments, they uncovered something, and they both reached for it, and their hands crossed. It was a pair of little baby shoes, that God had give to their union, and had taken away from them. There, who could claim them? It was something they had in common. See? And with tears in each other's eyes, they pulled the little shoes between them. The divorce was annulled. See, they found something that meant something to both of them.

L-74 And I think that Christianity should do the same thing. We can find something that means to both of us, that's Christ. See? That means to all of us, there we can take each other by the hand and stand there as brothers and sisters in Christ. He is Christ. Now is He alive? He certainly is, "Alive for evermore! And because I live, you live also."
