<TITLE>09. Par 78-88</TITLE>L-78 He said, "He was just a little too young for His job." Said now, Christ, "If He, Jesus, would have come today..." Not Christ; they don't believe it. Said, "If Jesus would have come today, His program would have been all right." Said, "It's something, another, like Rockefeller and Goldwater," said, "they're fighting one another, and in the same party." And he said, "You see, they--they oughtn't to be doing that."
I said, "That's correct."

L-79 Said, "When Jesus came," said, "He come fighting His Own party, His people."

L-80 I said, "Oh, no. He came to His Own, and His Own received Him not." I said, "That, that was it, you see."

L-81 So I'll let him rest till I get back, you see, kind of a little at a time. Because, I remember God blinded his eyes so that I could see, see, so I--I'm very grateful to the race. I certainly am. Don't you worry, Israel, if you're sitting here, your time is soon at hand. See? Sure.

L-82   Now many times we say that, "Jesus was Jewish." No. He wasn't. No, He was not Jew. He wasn't Jew nor Gentile. He was God. See, the hemoglobin is where the life cell is, and the life cell was a creative cell by God. There was no--no social life between God and Mary. There is not even a sensation. He created both germs, that's right, egg and cell. And He was neither Jew nor Gentile. He was that breach, between. He was God. And if He was Jewish blood, we're lost; if He was Gentile blood, we're lost. He was the Blood of God, created without sexual desire. That's, that's the reason our faith can look There and stand assure that's It. So He died for both.

L-83 Now we find that when He came, though, He didn't come in the taste of the Jew, so they condemned Him. And now we--we can't say nothing about it, because we do the same thing.

L-84   What had caused this? I believe there was a cause for that. And I think it is because they had took the Word of God and made It of no effect, by their traditions. Jesus said so. He said, "You, by your traditions, has made the Word of God of no effect." That's right. It wasn't effective, because it added and projected into It their traditions. And when...

L-85 You can't add nothing to That. You can't take nothing from It. It's, that's just the way It is. That's the way God preserved It. We can't add creeds and dogmas and things, to inject in That. That don't need any help. That's--that's Him, that's Him in letter form.

L-86 And the Word is a Seed. And the seed in the right kind of ground will grow, if you don't dig it up every morning to find out whether it's growed or not. You just plant it, commit it to God, and leave it there. That's the way to let it grow, just to leave It the way it's in the ground. And that's where It's supposed to be, the ground of your heart. Faith is watering It, hourly, saying, "If God said so, it's mine!" That's the way to do it.

L-87   So the whole world then was falling apart like it is today, every nation was looking for someone to--to hold them out of this tragedy that was about to strike the world, and trying to hold them together. The nations were looking for something, and--and each nation was looking for it, but they looked like they didn't want to accept what God sent them. They were asking for a man, a messiah, that would stomp out the rest the nations, and God give them a Baby. Asking for a General, and got a Baby! God knowed what they had need of. He humiliated them.

L-88 That's the way God does, He humiliates us when we think we know something. Like He said to Job, "You so got so much wisdom, where was you when I laid the foundation of the world, when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy? Where was you, Job?" Why, his wisdom was done, see. And God humiliates us when we get to thinking we're something great. When we think our organization is the only one, God will come back from something that's nowhere, rise up something and humiliate us by it. That's right. He always does it that way. Yes.
