Here some time ago, a woman that belongs to a certain group of people said, "He wasn't Divine."
There's so much of that in this social gospel today; trying to make Jesus Christ a prophet. Why, He was a God of the prophets. Sure He was.
She said, "I'll prove it to you by your Bible, He was just a man."
I said, "You do it."
And she said, "When He went to the grave of Lazarus, the Bible said, 'He wept.' He had to be mortal or He couldn't weep."
I said, "Lady, is that your Scripture?" I don't mean to be sacrilegious here to say this, but I'll tell you what I told her.
She said, "That's it."
I said, "Well, you haven't got one thing to stand on."
She said, "Why, He wept. That showed He was mortal."
I said, "He was both mortal and immortal. He was God in flesh."
She said, "Oh, nonsense."
I said, "He went to the grave weeping. That's true enough, but when He straightened His little self up... (The Bible said, 'There wasn't much to look upon Him, no beauty we should desire Him... ') but when throwed them little shoulders back and said, "Lazarus, come forth," and a man that'd been dead four days and rotten in the grave, he came forth. That was more than a man. Show me the man can do it? What was it? Corruption knew its Master. Life knew its Creator. Something had to happen. He spoke and a man that was dead and in the grave for four days, raised again, and stood on his feet, and lived. Hallelujah. That was God in His Son. Yes, sir. That was God making Himself known to Him Son. That was God speaking, not a man.
He was a man when He looked around on that tree that day for something to eat. That was a man. But when He took five biscuits and two fish and fed five thousand, that was more than a man. That was God feeding them in there. He was more than a prophet, more than a man, He was a God-man. Sure.
He laid on the back of that little boat that night, and the seas roaring and bouncing like a bottle stopper out there in that mighty sea, when ten thousand devils of the sea swore they'd drown Him that night. He was a man, weak and tired from praying for the sick, laying back there; and the wind didn't even disturb Him. He was a man when He was asleep, but when He woke up, put His foot upon the brail of the boat, looked up, and said, "Peace, be still," and the winds and the waves obeyed Him, that was more than a man. That was God in man, making Himself known. That's right.
He was a man at the cross when He cried for mercy. When He cried and said, "I thirst," that was a man. When He died, He was a man, but on Easter morning when He broke the seals of death, hell, and the grave, and rose again, He was more than a man: He was God made manifest.
