ton. John the Baptist gives strong
testimony. He says: He that sent
me to baptize with water, said unto
me, upon whom thou shalt see the
spirit descending, and remaining up
on Him, the same is He which bap-
tizeth with the Holy Spirit. And !
saw, and bare record, that this is
the Son of God" John 1888, 34.)
Peter and the other apostles in one
united voice, proclaim Him the Son
of God. (Matt. 1916; Luke 9:20;
Matt. 14:33; John $3.50. Martha con-
fessed Him as 1.-The Christ, the Son
Of God" John 11:27.) The believ-
ing Ethiopian much expressed his
faith in Jesus Christ as the Son Of
God" (Acts 1919 Paul preached
Christ in the synagogues Of Damas-
Gus as the Son of Cod" (Acts 9:20)
The beloved apostle, John, testifies:
And we have seen and do testify
that the Father sent the Son to be
the Saviour of the World. Whosoever
shall confess that Jesus is the Son
of God, God dwelleth in him, and he
in God" Ct. John Ala, 15.)
"The Father judgeth no man, but
hath committed all judgment unto the
Son, even as they honor the Father,
he that honoreth not the Son honoreth
not the Father which hath sent Him."
John 5:22, 23.) Whosoever denieth
the Son, the same hath not the Father;
he that acknowledged the Son hath
the Father also" O. John 2:23.)
The eternal truth proclaimed in
the. above texts, makes it dangerous
to deny Christ as the Son of God;
barring those who do so from heaven
and eternal happiness. Jesus says
a am the way, the truth and the
life; no man cometh unto the Father
but by Me-" John 14:6.) !
When Jesus was expended on the /,
cross the earth was shrouded in black
darkness, the earth quaked, the rocks
were rent, and the veil of the temple
was torn asunder from top to bot
tom, the graves of the saints were |
opened, and Jesus bowed His head |
and died. In the midst of this great |
commotion and -upheaval in nature,
the Roman centorion and others who
stood near the cross cried out,
!" Surely this was the Son of God"
(Matt. 27:54.)
If Jesus was only man why was
the sun clothed in black darkness for
three hours, the graves of the saints
opened and this upheaval in nature
while He was on the cross?
Devils knew Him, and acknowledged
Him to be the Son of God. duke 8:
49,. How could Jesus be called God, a
f He was not Gods Son? The emin-
INT apostle in his letter to the He
)rews gives us much light on this
subject. He says God, who at sun :
Try times and in divers manners i,
pake in time past unto the Fathers I
" the prophets, hath in these last !,

whom He hath appointed heir of all
Kings, by whom also He made the
world; who being the brightness of :
lis glory, and the express image Of \

y the word of His power, when He r
ad by Himself purged our sins, sat
