The Son Revealed
The Son Revealed

Tonight‘s subject is: —The Son Revealed.“ Many have said to me –in fact, only a few minutes ago –the same question is asked over and over: But surely you believe that Jesus Christ lived? Surely you believe in Jesus Christ?
May I tell you, Jesus Christ is the only reality. But man does not understand the mystery of Jesus Christ. If you think when I use the word —Christ,“ that it‘s a man who lived two thousand years ago, who was born supernaturally, as told us in scripture, –that the mother knew no man, that he was born of the Holy Spirit; if you think that is something other than yourself, then you do not know the mystery of Christ.
Are we not told: —I will be in labor with you until Christ be formed in you“? (Galatians 4:19) If Christ was formed once and for all two thousand years ago, –and that is to you Christ; then you do not know Christ.
It takes Christ, who is the Son of God, to reveal God. Jesus is the Lord. When you say, —I am,“ that‘s He, — that‘s Jesus, the same as the word —Jehovah.“
—Let us make man in our image.“ (Genesis 1:26) Well the Lord has to bring forth His image. The image is called —His Christ.“ We speak of the lord and his Christ –His Son, who radiates Him; so until Christ be formed in us, we do not know who we are. When we bring forth the Son, the Son reveals us and we are the Lord. We are the ones who said, —Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.“ We are the Elohim. We are the Lord God, called in scripture, —Jehovah.“ In the New Testament, —Jesus,“ born, -¬we bring forth this Son born not of blood, not of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man, but of God.
We know where this man came from; but when Christ appears, no one will know where Christ comes from. And how are you speaking of him as Christ, seeing no one as Christ? Christ is the Son of God, and it‘s not Jesus. Jesus is God. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination. When you say, —I am,— that‘s God.
You entered death‘s door –this world; and you are playing all the parts man could ever play. At the very end, you bring forth the result of your experience as man; and when you bring forth, that which comes forward and confronts you is David. David is the Christ. He is the Lord‘s anointed; begotten not of blood, not of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man, but of God. He confronts you; and then, for the first time after the long journey, you know who you are. You‘ll never know who you are, –I could tell you from now to the ends of time; but until he is formed in you and comes forward to confront you, then you know who He is. Here you see your son and this is without any uncertainty when you look right into the face of your son; and you know his name, and his name is David. It never was another name, –your Beloved. And David is the result of the long journey through this long, dark night of time. It comes at the end of the journey to reveal you; and then, when He appears, He sets you free.
The Father is set free through the Son. —Whose son are you, young man?“ for I have promised to set the father free. (First Samuel 17:58; also see First Samuel 17:25, end) So when the son comes forward, he who the Son makes free is free indeed, (See John 8:33) we are told in the Eighth of John.
So if any man should even say, —Look, this is Christ,“ or, —Look, there he is,“ do not believe it. (See Matthew 24:23) There is no being in this world you could even point to and say, —There is the Christ.“
