<TITLE>15. Par 106-113</TITLE>L-106 He said, "Who is My mother, My brothers? Who are they?" Looked around upon His disciples, and said, "They that do the will of My Father, is My mother, My brother, My sister, so forth. That's who it is."

L-107 And at the cross, when He was dying, He said to John, the young disciple, He said, "Behold thy mother." "Woman, behold thy son." "Son, behold thy mother." See, never claimed, Himself. It wasn't her Son. It was God's Son. She was just a womb.

L-108 This is a house this morning, but it's not the Church. The Church is in you, Christ. The spirit of the mortals that's sitting here, met together in heavenly places. It's Christ, not the house. The house is all right, it's serving its purpose, but it's only used for a meeting place. Mary was only a womb that He used to come to the earth, to be identify Himself amongst the people. Not the "mother of God," no more than this house is the Church of God. It's just used for that.

L-109   Yeah, many friends think now, people, good people like Mary and Joseph, think that--that He's with them in doing this. But as they were then, so are they now, mistaken. They thought they was with Him, but they wasn't. But when they was baptized, people might have thought, oh, I--I received Him when I accepted Him and was baptized. That isn't it. Till a spoken Word reflects itself!

L-110   But, the Elected, what about the Light now? I've been talking so much on the dark, and I got half my time up, eleven-thirty. Now let's turn it back around; gross darkness is upon the people, now what about the Light? He said gross darkness would be upon the people, but there would be Light, "Rise, and shine, for the Light has come." How can there be darkness and Light, it's got to be separated. And only one thing separates it, the Word manifested, separates, It presses it to the other side of the... Here's the darkness on the earth, but when the manifested Word of God, the sun, which it was spoken into existence by the Word, shows itself, darkness runs to the other side. And that's what's taking place now, darkness separating itself from the Light. Now to the elected Church in this dark hour... Which, we could stay on that for hours, but I think I've said enough till you understand what--what the Scripture means, when I said, "gross darkness upon this people."

L-111   Now I say to the Church, "Shalom. God's peace." Peace! Every true Hebrew, when he meets another one, "Shalom." Other words, "Good morning! God be with you! God's peace go with you!" It's a "Good morning! How do you do?" It's breaking day, Church. It's darkness upon the people, but it's "Good morning" to the Church. Christ is appearing among us. "Shalom. Peace." Hallelujah! "Shalom."

L-112 When we see darkness settling, darkness just before day, we know that the morning star is hanging yonder to introduce the coming sun. It's, that's when the morning star shines. It's--it's--it's the going-between. It's always darkest just a few minutes before day, the blackout comes, the moon fails to shine. The darkest before day, is because the light is pressing the darkness. But the morning star comes out and says, "Good morning. Shalom."

L-113   That's Him among us, His Word being identified. Shalom. The great day is fixing to break, when the morning breaks Eternal, bright and fair, when His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the sky. When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. Our names are on His Book, we'll be there. "Shalom. Good morning. Peace be unto you."
