Well, if God emptied himself as he did, as told us in the 2nd chapter of Philippians: “And he emptied himself and took upon himself the form of a slave, and became obedient unto death, even death upon the cross.” Well, the cross is this, no other cross. The cross of man, humanity, he’s crucified on. Have you ever seen one who suffers from amnesia? Well, I have…total amnesia and some partial amnesia. I have a very nice friend of mine who today is in a place here. He was an actor, struck over the head about six years ago, and a section of time has vanished from him. He talks about being wounded in Trinidad. Well, he played in a picture and it was set in Trinidad, and he was in the picture wounded. Now a man who always envied him…both are from Vienna…and it is not proven by law but all the evidence leads to the fact that this one person who always despised him struck him. He had this concussion, and when they found him unconscious and he was revived, that section of time between the picture and the present moment when they found him had vanished. He believes that he was wounded in Trinidad and so they can’t release him. He is forever now in this place with a section of time missing. Well, God purposely produced within himself amnesia, knowing that a certain thing will bring it back to memory. And the pattern, called the pattern man, will bring it back to memory, and he’ll remember when he wakes as his image.750 ¶40
