Thoughts from Old Dead Guys Part 1

From Jonathan Edwards - "Observations on the Facts and Evidences of Christianity, and the Objections of Infidels"

There are these things remarkable in Christ's raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11) that he called upon God, before he did it, to do it for him; and thanked him that he heard him; and told him, that he knew that he heard him always; and when he spake to him he called him Father; and told him that he spake to him for that end, that others stood by, when they should see that what he asked of him, was granted in such an extraordinary thing, might believe that he sent him. Now; can it be imagined, that God would thus hear an impostor?

I think not.
