DISCIPLES 1N JESUS.
"Tbe second answer; The disciple is in
Jesus. If am in a house 1t cannot
burn mo II stay In It unless YOU burn
the house. too. You cannot burn the
house without burning me. Jesus likened
1t to a garment; Put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ, make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfill the iusts thereof He
is the garment that covers me. IL nave
on Jesus I am dressed in the best that
heaven affords. Put off the old man
with his deeds Put off these, anger,
wrath, malice, filthy communication, put
on therefore as the elect OF COO, HOLY
kindness, meekness, humbleness of mlnu.
IL / have on the new man i am ready
for the banquet of heaven. Gan look
at me and say l am a sinner. 'Put on
therefore now no condemnation to them
ttat are in Christ Jesus
"The third answer Is Christ is tho dis
ctple. The disciple and Christ IL one
The believer and Christ Is one. There
is neither Greek Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision. For me to live is CHRIST

Christ life i'm me.
"You cannot think Of any other answer.
Take these three things from the teach
Inrs and YOU have little left. This shows
Paul got his in the revelation Christ gave
him on the road to Damascus. lie never
forgot the question of the text.
Never lived a man entitled to stand IN
the same intellectual class as PAU.
Another thlng-Paul meets jesus IN
T,amascus among the heather, con-
yerted on the highway. not the Holy
Lands, not Jerusalem. This harmonlZes
with the teaching that Jesus Is spirit.
What a revelation 1t was to Paul that
he did not need to go 10 Jerusalem 10
Worship that Jesus was with him in the
Phillppian Jail, on the island, In the SHIP
wreck. on Mars Hill, when he was bound
vith retters in Rome. Who shall sep
arate us from the love OF Christ; shalI
trlbuIation or distress or persecution, or
famine, or nakednnss. or peril, or sword!
For am persuaded that neither death'
nor life, nor angels. nor prlnclpalites
nor powers nor things present nor things
10 come nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is In
Christ Jesus.
JESUS is EVERYWHERE.
"'Our fathers worshped in this noun
tain. and ye say in Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship
Jesus saith unto her. woman believe
me. the hour cometh when ye shall
neither in this mountain nor yet at
Jerusalem worship the Father.
"'Ye worship We know not what. we
know what we worship-for salvation is
of the Jews.
"'But the hour cometh and now is when
the true worshipers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth, for the
Father seeketh such to worship Him.
you may take away my Bible, but you
cannot rob me OF its truth. Jesus is
everywhere.
Note the relation in Paul's teaching to
that of Jesus. certain class Is saying,
Let us go back from Paul. l cannot
understand Paul he was an extreme
Calvinist. he's f-opinionated and harsh. !
Well, where will you go-to Jesus. All
right, I'll go with you. Come on. what
do YOU tind-thc Christ of Paul, the
Christ of the four Gospels-Chrst--Paul.
GO TO the Christ of Matthew, read the
25th chapter of Matthew. You'll find the |
same Christ in Matthew that you do In
Paul Find the same teaching in Mat
thew that YOU do in Paul. Haven't got
ten one step from Paul. Go to the Christ |
to 30 inclusive. Haven't gotten one step
from the Christ of Paul Go to the !
Christ of Luke. What do YOU find? Read |
Luke the 10th chapter. 30th to S7th verse |
60 to the Christ of John. What do we |

Christ Of Paul. Instead of getting away |
from Pauls teachings you have got the |
same thing only in little different form. !
