<TITLE>24. Par 309-319</TITLE>L-309   I wonder if we all, tonight, could look and see what Barabbas saw, someone taking our place? "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes," I was healed, you were healed. Wonder if we, the guilty ones, who should be sick, can see in Him our deliverance? You who should go to hell; see in Him your freedom, your pass to Heaven. Wonder if you can see what Barabbas saw on that day?

L-310 He said, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me." Oh, church! Then, if He said, "You shall see Me," it's proof that you can look again. "You'll see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." When? How do you see Him? At the Word. He is the Word. Look at the Word and see what the promise is, for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-311   What He was when He walked in Galilee, is the same thing He is tonight in Jeffersonville, the same thing He is at the Branham Tabernacle. What do you look to see, a founder, a denominational man? You'll never see it in Jesus. Do you look to see some great priestly? You'll never see it in Jesus. No. How do you see Jesus? By the Word of God being made manifest, because He was the manifested Word of God. What He was then, He is tonight, and will be forever.

L-312 Let's bow our heads just a moment. I'll cut this off kind of short.

L-313   Lord Jesus, is my prayer, let me look away from the cares of life. Lord, I--I know we're just a common people, uneducated. We have not much of this world's goods, but we love You, Lord.

L-314 And I speak for this people. They would not sit in a place like this, and squeeze and mash, and around in the crowds; and sit, burning up, in the--the heat; or freezing in the cold, and stand in the... and bringing their children and them, sick and the afflicted, coming around; if they come here to see anything else besides You. Those people, Lord, would never come to see a man. There is plenty of man on the street; they all look alike.

L-315   But they come to see that Man, that Man of God, that Jesus of Nazareth of flesh, being God. Now, Father, You have told us that, "A little while, and the world would not see You no more," no matter how much they look, they'll never see It. But You said, "Ye shall see Me," the true believer, "because I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." You have promised us, if we look, we would see. And I pray, tonight, that You'll fulfill that Scripture to us again tonight, that we might look and see Jesus making Himself known to us, in the same way that He always has, fulfilling His Word, from henceforth, Lord.

L-316 And I made a statement, before this, and I truly said these things from my heart, about the Pulls, and You told me. And now, as mysterious as it may seem, if we could only pinch our inner conscience, and see that those things could not be foretold, perfectly as they are, unless it did come from God.

L-317   How could we see that First thing take place? How could the Second take place? How could the Third take place? How could we stand here, months before it happened, and tell what would take place in Tucson? And would open up the Seven Seals, and bring back the mystery, and reveal the hidden things of God, that's been hid since the beginning of time. And to see it, both testified, witnessed, scientifically proven!

L-318 Lord, You're our refuge and strength. You are all that we have. And I thank You, for, Lord, being a part of this great economy of Yours. I thank You, for being a member of Your Body, along with many here who are members of that Body, many all out through the world in different churches, that are members of that mythical Body of Christ.

L-319   Every time we look, we see Him! See Him when the birds sings. See Him when the sun rises, or when it sets. Hear Him in the songs. Watch Him in His people. See Him a vindicating His Word.
