You will not know until you know

That’s the way it is with every man or woman when he is born of the Spirit of God and sees the true resurrection. No man knows that Jesus is resurrected from the dead, unless he has died, himself, in Christ Jesus, and been born again, anew by the Holy Ghost. Every man is only theologically believing, he’s only materially believing, he’s only looking at it on paper until the Holy Spirit has bored a record of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You, from the dead things of life, unto a new and living hope in Christ Jesus. Every man or woman without that is lost this morning. That’s right.

I Corinthians 15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Oh, my brother, sister, get right with God. Get that heart cleaned out, to where joy-bells of Heaven ring, and there’s a resurrection; Jesus lives and reigns within the heart.

Notice as they begin to go along the side of the road. I think that was such a wonderful thing there. And the Bible said that they went on, along the road, and they talked one with another. And when they got to the end, just where they were going to stay all night, they just didn’t want Him to leave.

There’s just something about Him, if you ever get acquainted with Him, you don’t want Him to leave. That’s right. Now He… They said, “Come in and abide with us.”

I like that, “Come in and abide.” Every man that ever comes in contact with Jesus Christ wants Him to abide. “Abide with us.” The world is dead. Christ is rose. Here He is, living with us. All right.

“Come in and abide with us. It’s drawing closely…” And, Jesus, now remembers, they invited Him in.

And every man that ever comes into Christ will have to invite Christ into your little house which you live in. He only comes by invitation. He doesn’t push Himself on you. You say, “I don’t want none of that fanatical stuff,” all right, don’t worry, it won’t be there. But when you are willing and ready, and ready to sell out to the things of the world!
