Now, when Paul found this out, he had this experience. And then before he would accept this experience, it must be back to the Bible. And we find out that he--that he left and went into another nation, and there he stayed for three years, searching the Scripture, to see if his experience was right.

And, you know, conversion means to be "turned around." You're going this way, and you turn and start back this way. Yes, sir. It's a turn-around, about-face.

Why, if you get emotionally from batting a ball or throwing one in a basket, how much more will it make you emotionally to know that you've passed from death to Life, that you're a new Creation in Christ! You know it by the way your spirit leads you away from malice, and guile, and enmity, and all the things of the world.

I've tried to praise Him of a morning. We been getting up about four o'clock, Brother Woods and I, going out early in the morning, to go squirrel hunting. I praise Him under every tree, I believe, I've come to. I can't see a tree, without praising Him. Think, He growed that tree.

He wasn't just merely a man, neither was He a prophet. He was God, God dwelling on earth in a body of flesh called "Jesus," the--the incarnate Son of God. That's exactly who He was.

How can he have Eternal Life and then die? He can't do it. The only thing that's death, the word death, means "the separation." Now he'll separate from the presence of our eye. But he's always in the Presence of God, and always will be. So, death isn't a hard thing. Death is a glorious thing. Death is what takes us in the Presence of God.

And He, Jesus Christ, come to the earth; God, Emmanuel, "God in flesh." And at Calvary, He was torn apart. And His Spirit come back on the Church. And His body was lifted up and set on the Throne of God.

God could not suffer in Spirit. He had to become flesh, to feel the pain of sickness, to feel the temptation of lust, to feel the temptation of want, to feel the temptation of hunger, to feel the power of death. That He might take it upon Hisself to stand in the Presence of the great Spirit Jehovah, the Spirit, not the Man; the Spirit, to make intercession to this life. And Jesus took that, in order to make intercession for us, for He knows how it feels. When you get sick, He knows how you feel. When you're tempted, He knows how you feel.

No wonder Jesus could say, that, "All powers in Heaven and earth is given into My hand." God and man became One. Heavens and earth embraced each other, and He was the One Who can give reconciliation for our sin. That's the reason that, in His Name, healing takes place. He knows your pain.

Or, in other words, He is able to secure those, to help those, to make those... to sympathize with them. Because, God Himself became man, in order to feel it.

But, hallelujah, blessed be the Name of the Lord, He anchored that stinger of death in His Own flesh. Emmanuel did it. Rose up again, on the third day, shook the stinger out of there, and is Immortal tonight. And His Spirit is in this building, and He proves Hisself alive among us. That's our Messiah. That's our blessed Saviour.
