<TITLE>04. Par 30-42</TITLE>L-30 But, you see, she had the right approach. She went to Him, said, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. And even now, whatever you ask God, God will give it to You." Oh! What? That's it. That's the idea. See? She had the right approach.

L-31 Look at that faith, when it struck Jesus. He said, "Thy brother shall rise again."

L-32 She said, "Yes, Lord. In the last day, at the general resurrection, he'll rise. He was a good boy."

L-33 He said, "I am the resurrection and life. He that believeth in Me, though He were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

L-34 She said, "Yea, Lord. I believe that You are that Messiah, the Son of God that was to come into the world." Oh, my!
"Where have you buried him?"

L-35   I was talking to a woman, not long ago. I've told this, this stand, again. It's a people who claim to believe in Divine healing; it's psychically and mentally believing, believe "mind over matter." And they don't believe that Jesus was Divine. And they said, that, "He was a good man, but He was a teacher and a philosopher, but He couldn't be Divine."

L-36 I said, "If He wasn't Divine, He was the greatest deceiver the world ever had. Yes, sir. You can't make nothing out of it but being Divine."

L-37 She said, "If I prove to you, by your own Bible, He wasn't Divine, will you accept it?"
I said, "You can't prove it by the Bible that I read."
She said, "Well, I'll show you."
I said, "All right."

L-38 She said, "In Saint John, the 11th chapter," said, "the Bible said, when Jesus went to the grave of Lazarus, 'He wept.'"
I said, "Sure."
She said, "Well, how could He weep, being Divine?"

L-39 I said, "Well, you just fail to see what He was. When He went to the grave, weeping, He was a Man. But when He pulled His little shoulders together, said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that been dead four days, come up out of the grave, that was more than a man. That was God in a Man." See? Right.

L-40   He was a Man when He come down off the mountain, was hungry and looked for food on a tree. He cursed the tree because it had no food. He was a Man when He was hungry. But when He took five biscuits and two fish, and fed five thousand, take up seven basketfuls, that was more than the Man. That was God in a Man.
And God only represents Himself in man. He choose man.

L-41 When He was laying out there on that boat that night. Where, virtue went out of Him, all day, preaching, and people pulling after Him, discerning, and so forth. And the storm upon the sea. I guess ten thousand devils swore they would drown Him, that night, when He was laying back there, asleep on the back of the boat; them flopping around like a bottle stopper out there on the mighty sea somewhere. He was a Man when He was tired, laying there, sleeping. That's right. But when He was once aroused, put His foot on the brail of the boat, looked up, said, "Peace, be still," that was more than a Man there. Yeah. That was God in a Man.

L-42   He was a Man when He died on the cross, crying for mercy. He was a Man. But when He broke the seals of death, hell and the grave, and rose up on the third day, He proved He was more than a Man. It was God in a Man. No wonder, every man that's ever amounted to anything believed that. All poets and everything that's ever amounted to anything, believed that. That's right. He was more than a Man. He was God.
