<TITLE>12. Par 139-147</TITLE>L-139   Listen, those Greeks failed to see Him. Why? "Sirs, we would see Jesus." They failed to see Him because He was clothed in His human temple, God in a man. Human flesh was what blinded them. They couldn't understand. "You, being a man, make Yourself God, or equal with God."

L-140 He said, "Well, if you could call them by the law, and no Scriptures can be broken, you call them 'gods,' they were, who the Word of God came to."

L-141 Then, He is the fullness of that Word, the Word that was for that day, the Son of God, the Redeemer; when God, Himself, He come on earth and dwelt in a Man, to take death upon Himself, to redeem the whole, that Tree out of the garden of Eden, not the woman; the Man, the second Adam who died and went into the ground, to bring out those substance, amen, them leaves that had fallen back yonder, to bring them forth in the resurrection. How much could be said about that, would take us hours!

L-142   But we're here to the spot now. The Gentiles of that day failed to see It, because It was in human flesh. I wonder if we'll do the same thing. I wonder if we'll make the sad mistake that they did, fail to know Him? Because, He was, He the Word for that age, was identified in a human body. A Boy that had no education, that we never knowed Him going to school. We had no credentials He even come out of any organization of that day; no education. No reputation of nothing, but, "A crazy Man, a winebibber, a friend of sinners, a Man turning the world upside down; illegitimately born, His mother was pregnated by a soldier, and taken His name as the Son of God, or calling Himself a prophet, this Galilean, so-called prophet."

L-143   But the Word was made manifest! "As many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become sons of God." And so is it today, when we see this great Holy Ghost move made manifest. "As many as receives Him, to them gave He the power to become sons and daughters of God." Jesus Christ identified the same, by His Word, in every generation.
Let us bow our heads.

L-144   Christian friends, I want to ask you, let's just stop and think for just a moment. Is this the Truth or is it an error? Is it? If it's the Truth, we owe everything to it. Where are we going? Where is the stop of this? How can you be sure that you're right? Now, "in the beginning, He was the Word," and the Word discerns the thought that's in the heart. It did through the prophets, it did through Christ, and He promised it in the last days, for He is the same yesterday, today, forever.

L-145   Heavenly Father, take Thy Word, place It in human heart, that they... all the people together, tonight, this little bunch of people out here. We realize, Lord, that we are--we are living in the shadows of His Coming, and the shadows are becoming more positive, year by year. We see the signs appearing, fearful sights. We see in the newspapers and in the magazines. The moon is turning to blood. We hear of earthquakes all around the world, blasting the whole world.

L-146 And, now, one day it shook the whole world, when the Son of God was officially turned down and crucified. And now we find out that a great group, called the World Council of Churches, they are officially turned Him out, like they said in the (this) Laodicean Age, "He was on the outside of the church, knocking at the door, trying to get back in." And now we find there was another earthquake who struck this, not the other nations, this nation, shook the whole world; Jesus officially turned out. And He stands begging, tonight, thoroughly identified, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-147 May the believers see it. May those who are sick see it, Lord. May those here tonight be able to touch His garment, like they did in the days gone by. Heal the sick, and save the lost, we ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you.
