The Evidence Which Arises from the Nature and Character of the Gospel
Mark 15:39
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said…


I. That the religion of the gospel is the only one which has ever yet appeared among mankind which is adequate to all the instinctive desires and expectations of the human mind.

II. There is a second view of it which arises from its relation to the welfare of society, or the prosperity of the world. III, That the religion of the gospel is the only one which has ever appeared among mankind which is commensurate to the future hopes or expectations of the human soul.

(A. Alison, LL. B.)
