Excerpt from Two Sermons, on Predestination and ProvidenceBut, again, to draw the attention of all to him as the true Mes siah, God sent John the Baptist as his fore-runner. This holy man of God went forth and most Openly and loudly proclaimed to all men that the Messiah's advent was at hand. And when he made his appearance in public, John pointed him out with his very finger, as 'the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.' And this is not all. At the baptism of Jesus, the Father, by a voice from heaven, declared, in the ears of a multi tude, 'this is'm beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
