24-0112A_THE IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL AGES PT-9 (HIS IDENTIFIED MASTERPIECE)

Heb 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

Mal 3:6  For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 

*HE STARTED WITH ABRAHAM, HIS WORKMANSHIP AGAIN, AND NOW WITH HIS UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT.

70    He put Adam on a covenant, "Do this, and not this; this, and not that; touch not, handle not, taste not."

71    But we find out, when He started again, He started with--with Abraham. And in Abraham He started him on an unconditional covenant. Not "if you will." I have. I've already done it. I've blessed you, you and your seed, and so forth, after you." It was an unconditional covenant. He started with Abraham, His workmanship again, and now with His unconditional covenant. Then, when we find out, He based on Abraham and give him the covenant, unconditional, with the promise.

*HERE HE DISPLAYED THE FOUNDATION OF HIS WORK.

  72      Then He came to the patriarchs, we come next, in the Old Testament, as we go down. Here he displayed the foundation of his work. Now we have Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph; the four patriarchs.

73    Now, Abraham represented faith work, faith, 'cause Abraham was a faith. He had the great faith, because, "He staggered not at the promise of God, through unbelief. When, we'd say, "the chips is down," and everything against him, he still held on to God.

74    Then we have Isaac, which was beloved son, which represented love. Because, Abraham being a type of God, as Isaac was offered, Genesis 22. We find out that he carried the wood up the hill. And everything portrayed Christ, foreshadowed Him. And then the ram came and was offered in his stead.
Now that was faith, love.

75    And Jacob, which means "supplanter," and that's a deceiver. And we realize that Jacob's life really represented grace, because it was grace of God, all the time, with Jacob.

  76      Then come Joseph. There's nothing against Joseph. He was the perfected one. God's prophet that came forth among his brethren. And hated, without a cause, and was sold. And in every way, his life foreshadowed the life of Jesus Christ. "Came to His own, His own received Him not." As Joseph was hated by his brethren, throwed into a ditch, supposedly be dead; took out, exalted to the right hand of Pharaoh. And when he left the throne, they blowed the trumpet, know, every knee had to bow, and to Joseph.

  77      We find out that Jesus was almost sold for the same price Joseph was. Took up from the--from the pit; and ascended into Heaven; sets at the right hand of God. And when He comes from that Place, "The trumpet will sound, and every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess to Him," perfection.
That was faith, love, grace, and perfection.
 
*BODY WORK COME ON, OF THIS GREAT SCULPTURE
78    Then the body work come on, of this great sculpture. He made the body work by the prophets. The prophets was the body work.
 
*THEN FINALLY CAME THE HEAD OF THIS GREAT BODY, WHICH WAS CHRIST HIMSELF.

  79      Then finally came the head of this great body, which was Christ Himself. All the prophets had foretold of Him. All the foundation work had foretold of Him. All the way from the garden of Eden, from the very time that He started, "I'll put enmity between your seed and the serpent's seed." And we find out that He started there, and come up through the--the patriarchs into the prophets, and come out there. Once again He seen His own reflection, when one man was born on the earth, from the womb of a woman, that was God's Masterpiece. It was the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The reason He was, because He was perfectly the Word.

80    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."

81    Now we see reflected in Him a perfect masterpiece. He was so perfect, like God, until He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, don't believe Me. Though I... You can't believe Me? Believe the works, for they testify to you, Who I am." I like that. See? He said, "If you don't believe Me..."
They said, "You're a Man, making yourself equal to God."

82    He said, "If you can't believe Me, believe the works that I do. And if I don't do the works of Him that sent Me, then you don't have no right to believe Me."

  86      It's told, one time, the old gold, before they had the smelter. The... They used to take the gold and beat it, the beater would, the Indians in the early days when Arizona was in its youth. They beat the gold until the beater seen his own reflection in the gold. They beat all the iron pyrite, the dross, the dirt, out of it, until the beater could see his own reflection like a mirror, beating out.

87    Now, that's what the Gospel does. So many people don't like to be turned over and beat out. Well, what the church needs tonight is a good, old-fashion, Holy Ghost beating-out, of the world and the things of the world. That's what Pentecost needs tonight. That's what our movements needs tonight, is a good, old-fashion, gold-turning beating, until all the world is beat out of us, and Jesus Christ is reflected.
