<TITLE>06. Par 47-55</TITLE>L-47 We see the earth quivering and shaking again, and on a Good Friday, like it did nineteen hundred years ago on a Good Friday. And You said there would be earthquakes in divers places. We see all the signs appearing, and we know the time is close.

L-48 So, Lord, we want to work while we can, for, when life is over, we work no more. And we pray, Heavenly Father, that we'll put forth our efforts at this time. And when the meeting goes to history, may we feel that we have done the best that we can. Grant it, Lord. Bless my brethren, everywhere. Bless all now that will come into the meeting, and those that will hear. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated. Thank you, brother.

L-49   I want to take a text tonight, just if I'd call it a text, a little formal talk, and called, Jesus... The Christ, rather, is identified in all ages. In other words: The Identification Of Christ In All Ages.

L-50 Because, Hebrews 13:8 said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." And we want to--to see, how in past times, what He was. Now, we talk so much about Him, and that's what we're here to do now is talk about Him. And now, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and--and if He was seen and knowed in the yesterdays, then why not today? If He was seen and knowed, and identified in days gone by, then why not we do the same thing today?

L-51 We find, this great Person, no one could ever hear of Him without they--they want to find out more about Him. There is something about Him! That Name of Jesus Christ, there is not just another name, nowhere, that attracts the people like that. It's something about It!

L-52   A man, is, knows he comes from the beyond. And a dark shadowy curtain that hangs between him and where he was before he come here, and he knows he must go behind that curtain. And he is always wanting to know where he come from, what he is, and where he is going. We have millions of volumes that's been wrote, I suppose, on the subject. But there is only one Book, and that's of... That's sixty-six volumes in Itself, that can tell you where you come from, who you are, and where you're going, and that is this Bible. It's the Word that tells you where you come from, who you are, and where you're going.

L-53 So many people have so many different ideas about Christ, and especially in this day that we have now.
We have some of them that regard Him just as a great teacher.

L-54 And, He was, but He was more than a great teacher. See? He was. There never was a man that spake like Him, but He was more that just a great teacher. But that seems to be more like a great philosophy among many of the churches today, just to regard Him as a teacher, that never taught like Him before. "He's just a great, marvelous ancient historian, or teacher, rather, from days gone by. His teaching is fine, and you can believe part of it, and part of it you can't. But He was quite a philosopher!" In other words, they regard Him something like Confucius, a--a Chinese philosopher of many hundreds of years ago. Now, He was more than a teacher. He is--He is more than that.
Then some, of Him, think of Him being just a good man.

L-55 Well, He, He was a good man. He was the only good Man that we really ever had, was Him. There had to be one good Man to die for us bad man, to--to make us good, not by our merits; by what one good Man done, redeemed the whole bunch of us, see.
