NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Read the whole of the fifteenth
chapter of First Corinthians 1t forms
perhaps as appropriate text as
could be found upon which to base
review lesson.
There are three lines along which
review study, in the present case,
could Toe conducted One might be
strictly quarterly review A second
might be a summing mp of the teach
IngS OF the lessons beginning with
January of the present year. The
third. and very profitably. might be a
brief summary OF the principles of
the kingdom OF Heaven as set forth
in the teachings of Jesus and eNem-
plitied in His life and a statement OF
the main purpose of the life and
death OF Jesus.
As quarterly review the lesson
would be confined TO the resurrec-
ton and subsequent appearances of
Jesus. Eleven OF these appearances
are recorded and have been studied
in these lessons. These appearances
reached over period of 40 DAYS. be-
tween April and May Is. A. ID. 30
There are two other appearances re-
corded i'm the New Testament. One
was to Paul Cor Saul on the way to
"a ms har
the Apocalypse. But both of these
were subsequent TO Jesus ascension
The main lessons TO be enforced from
this study are:
]. The resurrection OF Jesus (Which
event is more conclusively proved by com
petent evidence than Is any other event
In all ancient history Is the GROWING
proof OF His divine nature.
2 The resurrection OF Jesus is proof OF
a life after death.
B. Into each faithful life may come the
Holy Spirit which shall guide disciples Of
Jesus into all truth aid them in overcom-
Ing weakness and temptation. and continue
IN the hearts OF men the work that Jesus
began to do when on earth.
Another method OF taking up the
review would extend back another
quarter and include that part OF the
life of Christ just prior TO the cruel
nixon and also the death and burial
OF Jesus. This plan would make pos
sibIe the drawing of a very effective
and instructive contrast. Picture in
the first place the apparent triumph
OF the foes of Christianity. Jesus
crucified. the disciples scattered. His
whole work seemingly brought to
| n 81
Saviour. with His disciples together
again with stronger hope, more en-
during courage, ministers of faith
daring all in spreading the glad It'd
mgs of salvation among the nations
OF the earth. Truly
Truth crushed TO earth SHAH rise again.
tn eternal years Of God are hers:
But Error. wounded. Writhes Go pain,
Ahd dies among his worshipers.
II will be remembered that we have
been studying the life Of Jesus for
| the past is months. We are now
about to take up a series OF lessons
in the Old Testament. Before doing
this, however. il would be OF immense
advantage TO take swift bird's-eye
view over the map Of Jesus gracious
earthly ministry, and crystalline in
our minds its essential truths. This
cannot be attempted in paragraph,
but We might suggest the following
points for consideration:
