<TITLE>17. Par 167-179</TITLE>L-167   What? Yes, oh, my, we forget Who is in the ship. See? "How can we know that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, because that them people that says, 'it's not so'?" His ministry throws it right back into their laps. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And you're just as guilty of His Blood as Pilate was. It's on your hands. You can't wash It off. Did you ever think of that?

L-168 How would you like to have the President's blood on your hands? What would you do? You know what's coming to you. Well, that's a minor thing to have the Blood of Jesus on your hands. That's right.

L-169   What if--if the man that killed the President... Maybe Oswald didn't do it. They'll never know who done it, of course. But if he didn't do it, what if the man is alive, tonight, and knows he's got the President's blood on his hands? What will he do if they catch him and he has to face the Supreme Court, the justice of this nation? Look at the angry eyes looking down upon him. You know, he could plead mercy, say, "I didn't mean to do it. I--I--I tell you, I--I'm a good fellow. I--I didn't mean to do it." There will be no mercy. It'd been bad to look across that Supreme Court, like that.

L-170 But what about looking across at the eyes of God, when you got the Blood of Jesus Christ, and guilty of crucifying Him afresh? What about that?

L-171   Did you ever notice an airplane pilot before he goes up in the airplane? He's got... checks every instrument he can. He'll take that plane out, he'll check everything; and stand out there and rev it up, and rev it up, to see if it'll take off, and everything. Why? He is awful careful. He has got blood on his hands if he don't watch.

L-172 Look at a doctor, for an operation, how he checks every tool, takes the x-ray, and everything. Why? He's got that man on his hands. If he dies, the blood is on him. And he checks everything, to be sure that the blood is not upon him. That's right. He don't want no blood on his hands. Human blood don't want to be on human's hands.

L-173   But what are you going to do with the Blood of Jesus Christ on your hands? Now you can't throw It out, say, "I don't believe That." The Bible condemns you. He says He's the same yesterday, today, and forever; and here He is working, doing the same. The Blood is on your hands, anyhow, and you can't wash It off.

L-174 Pilate tried that. There couldn't be enough water to wash It off his hands. He tried to pass It on to his organization, the higher up, the presbyter, said, "If you would let me do it," but it backfired.

L-175 It comes right back to you. See? You can't get It off your hands, no way in the world but accept It. The only way you can get It off your hands, is get It on your heart. That's the only way to do it. And when we see Jesus Christ today manifest Himself here just exactly like He al-... when He did here on earth, and promised to do it, we are sure this is the Messiah. Now It's on your hands, in your lap. What will you do with this Jesus called Christ?

L-176   Jesus said, "I will never forsake you. I'll be with you always, even to the end time." He'll be there just the same. Again He said, "I'll never leave you nor forsake you. A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world."

L-177 Say, "How can I be sure of it? Oh, Brother Branham, if I could just be sure!"

L-178 St. John 14:12, He said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also."

L-179 He is now waiting to be called on the scene, to prove that to you. That's right. So, let's go wake Jesus, in our lives. He was alive here, not long ago. He healed you one time, He did this and that. He was alive to you then. He, He is alive tonight. Call Him on the scene.
