<TITLE>12. Par 94-99</TITLE>L-94 It's always been that way. It's--it's been in man, has shirked and went away from God, ever since Adam, in the garden of Eden. When Adam was in the garden of Eden, when he come to the responsibility to make his choice, would he stay with God or go with his wife? He had to make that res-... he had to make that, the--the responsibility was up to him. He either had to take what his wife said or what God said. And when he chose to go the way of his wife, and when he did that, then he lost his original condition. And brought the whole world subject to death, when he had to take the responsibility, or either accepting a new light that his wife had found, which was contrary.
O God! Think of it. God only give them about eight or ten Words to keep. "But of that tree thou shalt not eat." That's all they had to keep. And even with that much Word, they broke It.
Then Adam had to face up, "Will I, will I do as my wife has said do, or shall I do what God said do?" And he walked out with his eyes open. He had to take the responsibility. That throwed the whole human race unto death.

L-95 Then there come that other Adam, which was Christ, never a one like Him! Somebody say He wasn't God? His uniqueness proved He was God. There never was a creature lived like Him. He lived in a world to Himself. He was born outside of the realm of the natural, sinful man. Hallelujah! He's the Creator Himself made flesh.
Who could ever stand where He stood? Who ever talked like Him? Who could ever say the things that He said? Who could ever do the things that He done? His uniqueness proved He was God. There wasn't a prophet or nothing else could do what He done; Who could call the dead back from the grave, and Who could stop the skies, and do anything He wanted to do. He was God. Who could ever stand in His place? Who? What could He be but that perfect, immortal God, made flesh and dwelt among us!

L-96 Nothing ever compared with Him. He lived in a world to Himself. No man ever spake like Him. When He just opened His mouth, there was something about it, that was different from anybody else. Somebody said He was just an ordinary man; I defy that. He was God. That's what He was. For, no man ever spoke like Him, no man could speak like Him, because He was the living Word Itself made flesh, the manifestation of the fullness of God.

L-97 I will admit, them prophets had their message. They had them then; they have them now. But there was the fullness of the Godhead bodily, manifested there. He was the unique One, and He was the One that had to face the issue. With all of His great powers that He had, that He could have absolutely been the king of the world. He will be; and He, to His saints, He is now.

L-98 He stood there. What man would be poor, didn't have a place to lay His head; that even knowed where a fish swallowed a coin. Who, what man could take them big jugs of water and turn them into wine, and not have a place to lay His head? He had to face up to the responsibilities that had been given into His hand. What man that could raise a man out of the grave, after he had been dead four days and rotten?
Could He not have saved Hisself? Sure, He could; but if He did, He'd have not saved us. He had to face up to the responsibilities, and because of His obedience to the Word! Where, Adam's disobedience, and he had took the short cut, the--the way down to Tarshish. But Jesus took the way to Nineveh, to the Gentiles, to get Hisself a Bride. I'm glad that He did it, tonight. And we ought to face up to the facts, that we belong to Him, and take the world away. Amen!

L-99 Every man had to face up to that, that's got a responsibility before God. We just take, for instance, Noah. He had. Noah, Moses, Elijah, and all the rest of--of every age, had to face up to the responsibility. And they had to do it, but that's the reason they were sent in the hour.
