e the divinity of
Christ. His answer was, "Why, He has saved me; and that is a pretty
good proof, is it not?"

An infidel on one occasion said to me, "I have been studying the life
of John the Baptist, Mr. Moody. Why don't you preach him? He was a
greater character than Christ. You would do a greater work." I said
to him, "My friend, you preach John the Baptist; and I will follow
you and preach Christ: and we will see who will do the most good."
"You will do the most good," he said, "because the people are so
superstitious." Ah! John was beheaded; and his disciples begged his
body and buried it: but Christ has risen from the dead; He has
"ascended on high; He has led captivity captive; and received gifts
for men." (Ps. lxviii. 18.)

Our Christ lives. Many people have not found out that Christ has
risen from the grave. They worship a dead Saviour, like Mary, who
said, "They have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have
laid Him." (John xx. 13.) That is the trouble with those who doubt
the divinity of our Lord.

Then look at Matthew xviii. 20. "Where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." "There am I."
Well now, if He is a mere man, how can He be there? All these are
strong passages.

Again in Matthew xxviii. 18. "And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth." Could He
be a mere man and talk in that way? "All power is given unto Me in
heaven and in earth!"

Then again in Matthew xxviii. 20. "Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world." If He were mere man, how could He be
with us? Yet He says, "I am with you away, even unto the end of the
world!"

Then again in Mark ii. 7. "Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus
perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said
unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it
easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or
to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk?"

Some men will meet you and say, "Did not Elisha also raise the dead?"
Notice that in the rare instances in which men have raised the dead,
they did it by the power of God. They called on God to do it. But
when Christ was on earth He did not call upon the Father to bring the
dead to life, When He went to th
