<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Jesus spending last hours with His disciples. As He spoke to them, interrupted four times.<br>– Peter: "Lord, whither goest thou?"<br>– Philip: "Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us."<br>– Thomas: "Lord, we know not whither thou goest and how."<br>– Jude: "How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?"<p>What do you think Philip had in mind when he said, "Show us the Father"?</p><p>Looking into His face: "He that hath seen me..."</p></div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Somewhat true today.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Every new scientific discovery reveals a little more of the greatness of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Each new aprehension of the universe requires an increase in the concept of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. God has become too great for man to grasp or to relate to.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The Gentile world.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Always that consciousness of God.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Term of law and discipline.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. A father, that if the child is lost will spare nothing to bring him back again.</div>

<div class="SSN_level3">4. A father, who will if necessary sacrifice himself for his child.</div>

|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Africans with their fetish - stick, leather.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You are right in your underlying consciousness, you cannot prosper or be successful without God, with you.
