<TITLE>10. Par 61-68</TITLE>L-61 He took a fish and broke that fish off. Now if we realize that He did create that fish in the beginning. He did create that bread in the beginning. But He took that fish and broke that fish off. A live fish had been, and was then boiled or--or fried; and whenever He broke it off, whatever it was (broiled or fried), it growed back (the same minute that He broke it) another boiled or fried fish. Isn't that wonderful? That showed that He was nothing less than Jehovah. And then He was the Creator that could take His Own creation, and by His creation, express Who He was. Hallelujah! That proved He was what He was. He was Deity. So, gold was becoming to Him, in the offering at His birth. He was Deity made flesh.

L-62   I might drop some-... No strangers among us tonight, I suppose, so... in this prayer meeting. But let me say something. Did Jesus, when He was here,...? Now, this is for thinking, not for... probably... probing rather. Notice, just for thinking, Jesus said, in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater than this shall he do, for I go to My Father." Did you notice that? Notice, now, that was the Son of God promising to the believer, that greater things than He did, (in these last days) that the believer would do greater things than He did. Saint John, 14th chapter, 12th verse. Is that right? Do you believe Jesus said it?

L-63 Notice, when Jesus created bread; He took a piece of bread, and created bread that had already been bread. When He created fish; He took a fish that was first created a fish, and put another fish out of it. Is that right? He took water, which potentially would have become wine, and made wine out of it. Is that right? But we've seen Him in our midst, in this last days, create things right out, without anything standing there! Is that right? To create a squirrel where there is no squirrels. Right! Oh, He's... remains God. He's just as much Deity today as He was then and ever was, or ever will be. He's still God, and challenging hearts to believe it, "Greater things than this, you... without anything to hold and break off of. Speak it, and it'll be so."

L-64   Notice now, we find that His... He identified. The works that He did identified that He was Deity, showed that He was. For He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me."

L-65 And could not the Christian say today, "If I do not the works of my Saviour, believe me not"? See?

L-66 "As the Father sent Me, so send I you." And if you did the works, creation works of the Father that sent Him, then it's a creation... The Christ (the Creator) that sends us, does the works of Christ the Creator. See? "As the Father sent Me, so send I you. And if I do not the works of My Father, believe me not."

L-67 Then the Christian today has got to do the Life that Christ did or we have a right to say, "It's not so."

L-68   Notice now, His works created Him... or identified Him to be the Creator. His works that He did crowned His life's testimony, that He was the "Creator"; no way of getting away from it. Therefore, when they offered the gift of gold, they were perfectly at harmony with God with their gifts. They give Him gold, which identified Him as Deity. Always a crown, the golden crown... the golden head, of King Nebuchadnezzar. All, you see, it... always Deity is represented by gold.
