<TITLE>06. Par 50-59</TITLE>L-50 And here He was, Emmanuel, "made flesh, dwelt among us," and the Pharisees didn't recognize it. They couldn't understand that, how this Man... Well, they crucified Him, because, he said, "He broke the Sabbath and--and made Himself God." That's the reason they crucified Him. Now we find out, that the reason they failed to know that, is because they did not know the Scripture.

L-51 Now these disciples should have recognized Him, but they didn't know the Scripture. Here He then revealed to them, notice, as He begin to go along, He revealed to them the Scripture promises concerning Himself for that age; not the Scripture promises in Noah's age, not the Scripture promises for other ages. The Scripture promise concerning Himself for that age, that showed exactly who He was. See?
He begin to ask them, said, "Why you so sad?"

L-52   "Why," they said, "are You a stranger here?" Looking Him right in the face. "Are You a stranger here, and don't know what's happened? Why, Jesus of Nazareth, a prophet approved of God, and we hoped that He would be the One that would deliver Israel; and this is the third day, and they've crucified Him, and all these things." And He just...

L-53 He said, "What things happened?" Just like He knowed nothing about it. See, He just act as if He--He didn't know nothing about it.

L-54   But now remember, when He begin to speak then, He begin to reveal to them the promises concerning Himself. Said, "Don't you know how Christ must first suffer and enter into His glory?" And then He begin, with the Scriptures, from Moses and all the prophets, and revealed to them the Scriptures pertaining to Himself, the Messiah. What the Messiah was to be, what the acts that He must do, everything that He must be, He revealed that to them, and He they still did not understand.

L-55 If that isn't a repeat, today! He is doing the same, and still the church mopes in darkness. Revealing to them Who He is and what He is, and--and still they say, "Well, now, I believe my church teach..." There you are. You see, that's the reason you...

L-56 Go back to the Scripture, search the Scripture, They've got the Truth. We get It so twisted. "How do we know It's the Scripture?" When it's a Scripture promised for that age.

L-57 Now, He didn't go back and say, "You remember Moses, what he done?" See? He revealed to them the Scripture pertaining to Himself, for that age. He was the Light of that age.

L-58 Moses was the light of his age. Jeremiah was the light of his age. It was the God's light shining forth for the Word that was promised for that age. Every age has its promised Word. God sends His prophets and reveals that Word; vindicates His prophet, first, then reveals that Word and makes It live.

L-59   And Jesus was the Christ. And everything that pertained to the Christ, He had vindicated it. A virgin birth, healed the sick, discerned the thoughts in their hearts, everything that He was supposed to do to be--be the Messiah, and, yet, raised from the dead, and they still didn't recognize it. They still didn't know it. After the Scriptures had been revealed, still they never recognized Him, though He was that promised Word. Now remember how beautiful that is, the Word that He was revealing to them, show them. They had walked right with Him for three years, and recognized that, knowed that He fulfilled that Word. There they went, walking on down to Emmaus, "Is that so?" Huh! Just didn't understand it! They didn't get it.
