Who Is God? God Is Wrathful! (6 of 9)

INTRO: What has been called the most famous sermon ever preached was delivered by Jonathan Edwards in Massachusetts on July 8, 1741.

You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of Divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it and burn it asunder.
If we knew that there was one person, and but one, in the whole congregation, that was to be the subject of this misery, what an awful thing it would be to think of! If we knew who it was, what an awful sight would it be to see such a person! How might th ...
