tral and unifying theme Is Jesus
Christ, a profitable way to conduct

are offered:
Lesson I. The birth Of John the

point was impossible. was announced
to his father, Zaeharias. For his un.
belief he was smitten with dumbness.
God expects Of his servant unQues-
toned belief In what He promises.

hem Just as the prophet had foretold
some 700 years before. and at the age
Of twelve years he consciously en-
tered into the services Of Gods house.
Though conscious Of His divine being
and mission, He lived q life Of hlial
obedience.
Lesson :. John the Baptlst's min
istry was q preparation for the COM
ing Of Christ. He fearlessly preached
repentance and pronounced Judgment
upon the impenitent. Though mighty
preacher, he humbly declared that
Christ was immeasurably greater
than himself.
lesseQ 4 Jesus Christ after His
baptism was led by the Spirit into
the wilderness to be tempted Of the
devil. The purpose was to test the
reality Of the incarnation. The re-
suit was complete victory-a demon
stratiou Of His ability to save to the
uttermost all who trust Him.
lsssen 8. Isaiah foretold the gold

out devils. He authenticated His
mission and proved His power to for.
give sins by miraculous deeds.

ciples the principles which should
govern in His kingdom. Only those
who have been born from above can
love their enemies.
