<TITLE>03. Par 26-34</TITLE>L-26   Look at those drunken Roman soldiers on that day just before the crucifixion took place. Setting Him out there, and smacking Him on the face and in the cheeks, and things like, said, "Now, if You're a prophet, tell us who hit You." He knowed who hit Him, but He didn't have to clown. See? He just--He just did...

L-27 He said, "Verily, verily..." Saint John 5:19, now listen. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in himself; but what he sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise." Therefore, He never done one miracle until God showed Him, by a vision, what to do, according to His Own Words. "The Son can do nothing in Himself," not what He hears, "but what he sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son."

L-28 No prophet, no seer in the Bible, ever done thing at random. God shows first. So no--no human flesh, not ever the flesh of Jesus Himself, can glorify. It's all in God. God does the showing, the seeing, we just act it out as He shows us and tells us. Each one of us does that.

L-29   So may the Lord bless you now. And I'm going to ask you again, this afternoon, as we read the Word... And you're such a nice people, I could just stand and talk to you and talk to you.

L-30 But I want to say, again, I am doing a discredit to the Message that God has given me, by just run in here... We would have had five services, but I think we couldn't get the auditorium, so we had to just make it four; here three nights, and then a healing service. What, see, you don't even know the first approaches. So maybe someday, if God willing, I... and the help of God and co-operation of you fine people, I would like to come back and get all my brothers, all of them together. We, it may sound a little funny, but, "Come, let us reason together," saith the Lord. Let--let's just see that till--until that time. If I don't get to do it, remember, when I see you again on the side of the River, God will witness again that this is the Truth I'm telling you. It's His Word.

L-31 Wouldn't I be a hypocrite, what a--what a... What would I have in store? I've got a wife and some children at home, crying on the telephone, a while ago, "Why don't you come on home?" See? But there is other children that's sick and needy. There is other men's wives, and husbands, that need salvation. I can't do that, if I expect to cross the River. See, over There I'll set down and rest a little while then. Until then, I'm getting old, and I can't--I can't feel like I did when I first started years ago, but I--I just go, anyhow. Just go, anyhow, because this is the last opportunity I'll be able to do it in, in this life. The other Life, it won't require this.

L-32   Let us stand now in respect of His Word, while we turn to Mark the 16th chapter. And I'm going to begin to read from the 9th verse. Listen closely, if you wish.

L-33 This is the closing message. This today is the closing message for this part of the campaign here. And this that I'm reading is the closing Words, the last things that Jesus said to His Church before He went away, the last Words right immediately after the resurrection.

L-34 The 16th chapter of Saint Mark, I'm going to begin with the 9th verse.
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first unto Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
And they, when they... heard that he was alive,...
