Edition Description:	Was He the Son of God? I will bring in a few witnesses. When He was brought before Caiaphas, President of the Sanhedrim, Caiaphas said to Him, "Art thou the Son of God?" And He answered, "I am, and thou will see me sitting at the right hand of my father who is in Heaven." And Pilate, when Jesus was brought before him, said, "I can find no fault in this man." And Pilate's wife, who had had a dream, said to him: "Have thou nothing to do with this just man." The centurion at the cross when Chris died, said: "Truly this man is the Son of God." Even the devils from hell testified to His power and majesty. These that I have quoted were His enemies. Now let His friends speak for Him. John the Baptist, who preached in the wilderness, testified that He is the Son of God. Paul of Tarsus, said: "May this tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if ever I deny Him." And he heard a voice from Heaven saying: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Come, then, my friends to the Saviour, who is prepared to receive you; His arms are extended in joyful anticipation of the reception He is prepared to give you all. Come and Testify to Jesus. In Him you will find all the consolation you need to carry you through your trials. Show Him by your actions what you think of Christ. - Mr. Moody's New York Sermon
