<TITLE>11. Par 96-106</TITLE>L-96 But they--they--they got stirred up about this Man Who could heal the sick and could foretell things that happened, to the dot. And they got stirred up, so they come to see Him. Now, watch close now, don't miss this. See? And they come and they said to Philip, which was of Bethsaida, "Sir, we would see Jesus." And Philip and another disciple brought him to Jesus, to see Jesus.

L-97 Now notice the very words that Jesus reported back to them, for they come to see Who He was, and they could not see Him. They seen the form, but He was in His temple. God was in His temple, veiled in human flesh. Notice the words He said, "Except the corn of wheat falls into the ground, see, and dies, it abides alone." See? "The hour has come, it'll soon be that the Son of man be glorified, see, and He must pass from this earth. And except this hour comes, you'll never be able to see It." See?

L-98   Here, why couldn't they see Jesus? He was masked. God was masked. The Greeks wanted a God, and here He was, but they couldn't see Him because of the veil. And that's the same thing today, they can't see Him because of the veil. It's over their face. These Greeks were masked, or Jesus was masked to these Greeks.

L-99 Notice, He said to them, "Except this corn of wheat falls into the ground, it abides alone."

L-100 They, they couldn't understand how, why that they couldn't see Him. There stood a man. They come to see God, and they seen a man. See? They couldn't see God because God was veiled to them. Now keep that on your mind, God was veiled in a man. They could say, "No man could do these works except it be God. No man can do it, and how here stands a man and yet the works of God is manifested through Him!" See, they couldn't understand that God was veiled.

L-101   He is veiled in a man, as He always was veiled. But, He was veiled unto them, He was in His human temple. God was in a human temple. Now, be real careful, now He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. See, God veiled, hiding Himself from the world, veiled in human being. See? Here was God! Those Greeks saying, "We would see Him."

L-102 And Jesus said, "A corn of wheat has to fall and die." You have to die to all your ideas. You have to get out of your own thoughts.
Like those disciples was, they couldn't explain about eating His body and--and drinking His Blood, but, see, they had done died to those things. They were dead to a Principle, they were dead to Christ. No matter what it is, or how much defeat looked like He had, they still believed It anyhow. See? They could see in that Man; a Man that eat, drank, fished, slept, everything else, was born here on the earth, and walked with them, talked with them, wore clothes like the rest of them, but that was God.

L-103   So the Greeks couldn't see Him, because He was hid from them, in a human being. Notice His Word to them, "Except this corn of wheat falls in the ground."

L-104 God veiled in the form of a man, hid Himself from their view. They could only see a man. But those Predestinated seen God. One saw a man, the other one saw God. See? And it was God veiled in a human being, making both of them right, but your faith in that what you don't see. You believe it, anyhow. God veiled in a human being. He was in that flesh, and that flesh was His veil. The veil was rent, see, that God might be made manifest.

L-105   In the Old Testament, God was hid when He was on His mercy seat; on the mercy seat, by a veil. In the Old Testament, God was in His temple. But the people come in and worship like this, but, remember, there was a veil (amen) that hid God. They knowed God was there. They couldn't see Him. That Pillar of Fire never appeared anymore there. Did you notice? There's not one time in the Scripture, from the time that Pillar of Fire went in behind that veil, that It ever showed again, till It come from Jesus Christ. God was veiled!

L-106 When He stood on earth, He said, "I come from God and I go to God."
