<TITLE>15. Par 160-170</TITLE>L-160   And this little woman had nothing. She probably kept away from church, she had seen so much in it. Because, down in her heart was laid a seed, Eternal Life; "all that the Father has given Me will come to Me." And as soon as that Light flashed upon her, she didn't call It a devil. Look at the difference between that woman and the clergy. She said, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a Prophet! We know that when Messiah cometh, that's the things He is to do. We are looking for a Messiah. We haven't had a prophet for hundreds of years. But our leader, Moses, told us that there would raise up a Prophet in the last days, and He would be Messiah," which means the anointed One, anointed.

L-161   He was the Word. God is the Word, and was in Christ. And the Bible said that, "The Word of God, the Word, is quicker, more powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword," Hebrews 4, "piercing to asunder, the marrow of the bone, and a Discerner of the thoughts and intents that's in the heart." That's the reason He could look upon them and perceive what they were thinking about, because He was the Word. He was Life. He is still the Word, and He is still Life. And He knew! He does the same thing. Now we find...

L-162   [A sister speaks an exhortation, in the congregation--Ed.] Amen. Blessed be the Name of the Lord, for His message on this.

L-163 Oh, that Life policy! Life! Life, the greatest thing there is is Life. And there is only one form of Eternal Life, and that's God.

L-164 Now look at the little woman, as the prophecy just went forth, that she had a waterpot in her hand. But she also had one in her heart. She said, "I perceive that You are a Prophet, and we know when Messiah cometh, He is going to--to do these things. That's what He'll do. That'll be His vindicated sign. He'll be the Word, perceiving. And You read my very heart to me. Who are You?"
And Jesus said, "I am He."

L-165 Then this waterpot set still, but this one was filled up, and she took out a policy of Eternal Life. He said, "The waters that I give is Life Eternal, bubbling up, and springing up in the heart."

L-166   And then she could not keep still, she wanted her fellowmen also have the policy, and down through the city she went. Honestly, she had no rights to do that, she was a woman of ill fame. You men and missionaries here know that in the East that's still the... They wouldn't listen to her. But, they, how they going to keep from it? She was full of Eternal Life. They had to listen to her. Like a house on fire, on a dry windy day, you couldn't stop it. Away she went! And not only that, if she had not been filled up, the men wouldn't have listened to her. But she had something positive that she knew about. And we find out, they said... "Come, see a Man who has told me the things I've done. Isn't that the very Messiah?"

L-167 And they brought Him into the city. He never done it anymore, but the people believed the woman's testimony. And they were all believed on the Lord Jesus.

L-168   Quickly now, 'cause I--I'm sorry to hold you like this. But if you'll just give me... just bear a few more moments, I got something here I want to say. Notice.

L-169   Nicodemus was a great man, and he was a religious man. He was a master, a ruler among his people, a renown man.

L-170 Something like Simeon, the priest, at the birth of the Lord Jesus. Promised, by the Holy Ghost, to not see death until he saw the Lord's salvation; how he was led by the Spirit, into the room, to bless the Child.
