II ask the question: Gould Al
mighty God confer the power upon
some men to forgive sin-make them
His agents-give them the power to
forgive sin by His aid and by His
power? All Christians will say Yes
because II you say No. you blaspheme
God. for He Is omnipotent and has
power In all things. II He wished to
do II. He certainly would do so.
Another question: Did Almighty
God give to some men the power to
forgive SIM? There issue is taken.
Some say He never did. | say He did
give 1t. Then the proofs devolve upon
me. can give you them to your salts
faction. First Of all. was not Christ a
man? True. He was the Son OF God,
but he was a man-both true body and
q true soul. Christ forgaye sin. No
Christian will certainly deny that
Christ had the power to forgive sin.
He said, Go and sin no more--thy
sins are forgiven There were men
who put Him to death; 1t happened
that these men always raised an objec'
ton when He forgave sin, They said
Why. Christ. is but man; this mar
claims the power to forgive sin: thai
Is blasphemy. When they made thii
objection our divine Savior wrought
miracle to show that He had the pow
err to forgive sin. He came to little
house and there was man Brought
to Him sick OF the palsy. lie was low
cred into the house by way OF the roof
He said to the man, Son, be OF good
heart; thy sins are forgiven thee
He thought his soul needed help more
than mis- BODY. the scribes ana Phori'
sees present made theif objection
They said. This man blasphemes; nov
can lie forgive SIN; no one but GOO
only. christ SAID, That you ma!
Know the Son OF Man can forgive Sill
! say 10 this man, ARISE, take up IN!
ped ana walk. Inc people wondered
that such power mad been given 10
mah-the power 10 forgive SIN, as wei
as tne power 10 neal the Dody.
NOW theh' 'he point arrives ai'
christ ever CONFER upon other men IN
power 10 forgive SIN! inere Is VITA
