<TITLE>04. Par 24-32</TITLE>L-24   And remember now, as I typed His ministry, see. First, the prophet of Galilee, everybody believed Him to be a prophet. But He was a "prophet," to heal the sick, but when He went to tampering in with the Pharisees and Sadducees, and their traditions, then He become a "madman." They said, "He is crazy." They wanted nothing to do with Him. And it finally led to His crucifixion.

L-25 And that's the way it's always did. Down through the Bible, it's done the same thing. And it'll have to do the same thing this a way, being it's God. It'll have to come to that very end, a time. But you'll never crucify a Message. You might crucify the messenger, but you'll never crucify his message if it's from God, 'cause it's the Message. He's just a bearer of the Message.

L-26   Now being that we've been talking for a few minutes, watch, it's just exactly eight now, and I want to try to have the church dismissed at nine-thirty, so you can get to a rest and get to Sunday school. And tomorrow is a great day. This will be two services for me, today. And--and when I was a young fellow... Two services is hard on any minister, if you take it with all your heart. Now if you just go there for a little intellectual talk, you could make them every thirty, forty minutes, through the day, and never bother you. But when you put your whole heart there, holding the Spirit of God before the people, that's different.
Now let us pray.

L-27   Heavenly Father, let Thy blessings and mercy rest upon us now, as we move from our talk, into the Word. And let the Word be made flesh among us, again tonight, that the church might once more, all of us, together, see, feel, and know, the Presence of Jesus Christ, our resurrected Lord. For, we love Him, His Presence is Life to us. And may we rest, tonight, in the Shekinah Glory and recognize that it is Shekinah Glory, in His Presence. We ask it in Jesus' Name, that He'll break the Word for us now. Amen.

L-28   Now turn in your Bibles, if you care to, to the Book of Saint Mark, the 4th chapter. And--and my text tonight, I'm going to call it, "Go awake Jesus." And my subject tonight is, Calling Jesus On The Scene. "Go wake Him," call Him on the scene! Here is the Scripture reading, out of Saint Mark, 4th chapter, beginning with the 35th verse.
And the same day, when the evening was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship.

L-29 Wouldn't that make a wonderful text, "Take Him as He is"? Take Him the way He is presented to you, see, take Him in the ship.
And there were also with him other little ships.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat against the ship, so that it was now full.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they wake him, and said unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

L-30 And the Scripture says, "He is the same!" The winds and the waves obey Him.

L-31   He must have been a little tired that day. Our scene finds our Lord, tonight, as we try to take each time, a setting of where He is at, and what He's doing.

L-32 I love to follow Him, don't you? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I just love to follow Him and watch His works. And just to think that someday we will be with Him and follow Him, with Him, in person, like seeing with our sense of sight as we do now, and--and be with Him forever. Oh, just to look at Him, would be good enough for me. Just to see Him, that--that--that would be sufficient for me.
