53-0507 EXPECTATIONS_ JONESBORO.AR THURSDAY_ « E-1 † Thank you, Brother Reed. Good evening, friends. It's always a privilege to be in the house of the Lord to serve God, to minister to His people, those who are needy, and... I was a little sorry to be late, but my son come after me, but I... A train held us up almost fifteen minutes, just down the street here, and we couldn't around no other way, and so we just had to set there and wait till it was over. And so, Brother Reed said, "He knew what I meant." I think he had some experience just the last few days with the same thing. But it's always a privilege to be here the house of God. So we will try not to take no more of your time than possible. And... 53-0507 EXPECTATIONS_ JONESBORO.AR THURSDAY_ « E-2 † Last night, we were teaching a little about the character, and what type of a person... If you were looking for the Lord Jesus, what type of a Person you'd be looking for, what He would look like, what His Spirit would be. And we typed it through the Scripture, to see just what He was, and what His ministry was, how it acted, and how He acted. And then if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, It acts the same today. And we find out that It does, doesn't it? Just the same Lord Jesus. He didn't claim to be any great Person. He said, He did nothing but what the Father showed Him. And when the Father showed Him anything, why, He did it. Though He knowed the people's thoughts, what they were thinking, what they were doing, what was wrong with them, but He don't His miracles as God permitted. And if you notice, everywhere, it was always what the Father told Him. Now, there was some fellows, two blind men, one time, come through the street. They were trying for to get Him to heal them. So He said, just passed on through, went into the house, and they brought the blind man in the house. And He turned to them and touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith, be it unto you." Your faith. He had had no vision. For He said, that He only did just what the Father showed Him. Saint John 5:19 said, "What the Father shows Me, that I do. I do nothing except He shows Me." Said, "The Father worketh and I worketh hitherto." 53-0507 EXPECTATIONS_ JONESBORO.AR THURSDAY_ « E-3 † Now, we notice Him as He passed through the pool of Bethesda where all those crippled and mixed people were laying there. And He never touched any of them, walked right by every one of them. Blind, halt, lame, waiting. Walked over to a man laying on a pallet, and told him that He knew he had been laying in this state for thirty-eight years, and He told him to take up his pallet and go home. Then He was questioned. Could you imagine Him passing by all those crippled people to one man, that was just been sick for thirty-eight years? But the only way He could do that, was because the Father had just showed Him that one; that's all He could do. And then, the woman, one time, touched the hem of His garment, and He turned around and said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Thy faith.
