And watch when the Jews questioned Him, when He went through all that big pool of people there that was lame, blind, halt, and withered, and all kind of conditions. And He—He said to the person, went to a man laying on a pallet. Just look, Saint John 5, how they was withered. Wouldn’t the critics today say, “Why didn’t he heal all of those?” That’s what they say, “If He’s a Divine Healer, let Him heal this. If there is such a thing as Divine healing, let Him heal that one.” That’s what they said to Him. He passed right through all those cripples and things, Emmanuel, anointed, the very God of heaven, represented here in flesh. You believe in the Deity of Christ, all of you, don’t you? He was God. He wasn’t a man. The people today try to lower Him down to be a prophet. He was—He was either God or the biggest deceiver the world ever had. A prophet’s blood wouldn’t do you no good. A prophet’s a man. But Jesus was God. The Bible said that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Is that right?
