<TITLE>19. Par 235-250</TITLE>L-235 Jairus did the same thing, a secret believer; a little Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, that really believed, but couldn't get around, on account of his denomination wouldn't let him, because he would be excommunicated. But his only little daughter lay at the point of death, and he had to go. But when he found Him, he found out that He was the resurrection and Life.

L-236 When he sent for Him, a runner come and said, "Don't trouble the Master, for the girl is already dead." He... And his little heart almost failed.

L-237 But He said, "Did not I say, 'If you'll only believe, you'll see the Glory of God'?" Jairus found out that He could raise up the dead, when he looked at Jesus.

L-238   The hungry looked to Him, and found sustaining food for life. That was natural. The hungry, spiritual, can look to Him and find out He's the Bread of Life.

L-239 The dying thief looked to see what he could see, and he found, in Jesus, his pardon. "Remember me, Lord, when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom." Jesus said, "Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." That's what he saw in the hour of his death.

L-240 The sick looked to Him, and saw the Healer. The blind looked, and could see.
Depends on what you're looking at now. What are you look?

L-241 Peter and Nathanael looked, and seen the promised Word of their prophet, Moses, made manifest. "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto me, and to Him the people shall cling. And all that don't believe Him, and hear that Prophet, will be cut off from the people."

L-242   And when Peter walked up into His Presence, Jesus said, "Your name is Simon, and you are the son of Jonas." He knew right then, when he looked the first time on Jesus, that there was the fulfillment of what the Word of God said He would be. Amen.

L-243 I wonder if you found the same thing when you looked at Him for the first time? I wonder if the promised Word manifest Itself to you when you looked at Him?

L-244   Nathanael, as soon as he come into the Presence of Jesus, a little bit in doubt... We find out that Philip had went and told him, "Come, see Who we found."
And Nathanael come, and he said, "Which one is He?"
He said, "Probably it's the one up there praying for the sick."

L-245 He pressed his way through till he get a look at Him. And when he looked, Jesus said, "Behold an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You ever know me?"

L-246 He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."

L-247 Then what did Nathanael find? He found out that there was the King of Israel. He said, "Thou art the Son of God. You are the King of Israel." That's what he saw when he looked. He got the interpretation of the Scripture, brought to light before him. He saw it, the same Scripture that the anointed prophet Moses had said, "He will be a Prophet likened unto me."

L-248   The woman at the well, she got a look one time, and what did she see? She expressed it in the city. She said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" When she took her first look at Jesus Christ, she saw the Messiah.

L-249 People can look at the same thing today, and call It "mental telepathy." They'll call It "spiritualism." They'll call It any kind of a devil name they can call It, because they don't know what they're looking for. Amen. They don't understand. They're looking for a creed. They're looking for a genius to set the church in order. They're looking for more members, and fail to see the blessed Lord Jesus Christ in His identified Word. Right.

L-250   Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for the fulfillment of the promise of today, you'll see it. But, if you're looking for some intellectual, or something that they've always looked for, some great founder, some historian, some other person, something else, you'll fail to see It. But when you look at Him through the Word, the Word declares Who He is.
