LESSON NOTES.
The scene was on the twin mountain
called the Horns Of Hattin, overlook
ing the Sea of Galilee. 1t was in the
; morning, and Jesus face doubtless bore
the marks of His long night vigil on
the heights, as Moses face shone when
he came from the heights Of Sinai after
communing with God. Jesus was on
: slight elevation. Around Him were
gathered His chosen twelve. The level
: space and hill sides were covered with
the multitudes Of people who had come
, TO hear Him.
