<TITLE>04. Par 35-42</TITLE>L-35 Just think of that, "when they heard He was alive." Oh, my! I hope we can hear the same thing today, and know that He is alive. Uh-huh.
... heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
After that he appeared (unto the others) in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
That was Cleopas and his friend, going to Emmaus.
And they went and told it to the residue: neither believed they them.
After, afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Wonder if He would do the same thing to us now? See?
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;... he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them,... confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

L-36 Now my text, this afternoon, I'm going to take out of here: A Court Trial.
Now let us bow our heads.

L-37   Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we ask You now to take Your Word; and as we bring up, this afternoon, this trial of Thy Word, we pray that we'll sense the Presence of the resurrected Jesus, and may we not be so slothful. And as You said to those when You talked to them on the road to Emmaus, how that You spoke to them and You told them that they were... "What was they worried about? What they so sad about?"

L-38 And they said, that, "You must be a stranger." And told them that... "Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a prophet in deed."

L-39 And when they addressed You as a prophet, then it was just no more than behooving that You should go to the Word, being a prophet, for the Word comes to the prophet. Then You turned to them, and said, "Fools, and slow of heart to believe, not to believe all that the prophets have said concerning Christ, how He must suffer all these things that You have said, and then enter into His glory." And beginning from the Old Testament, way back at the beginning, He expounded to them what the prophets had said about Himself. But, then, still they didn't understand.

L-40 But once inside the building, the doors closed, then You done something just the way You did it before You were crucified, and then their eyes were opened. You vanished quickly out of their sight. And they ran and told these, that they sat at dinner, the supper. And upbraided them because of their unbelief, when You appeared into the walls and told them that they should have believed You, and the hardness of their heart.

L-41 And how these disciples rejoiced because You were made known, because You did something the same way that You did it before Your crucifixion. They knew that was You; the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-42 O God, please, today, do it again. Come into our midst. And You promised these things for the last days. And may our hearts not be so dull with the... with modern theology and the things of the world, that we'll fail to see You. Open our understanding, eyes, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.
