Another way would be by summar-
izing each lesson, stating the out
standing topic and teaching of each
lesson. The following ''lggestIons
are offered:
Lesson I. The birth of John the
Baptist, which from the human stand
point was impossible. was announced
to his father. Zacharlas. For his I'M
/ belief he was smitten with dumbneSs.
God expects of his servant unQueS-
toned belief in what He promises.
Lesson 2. Jesus was born in Bethe-
hem just as the prophet had "oretold
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, lie lived a life of filial
/ obedience.
Lesson 8. John the Baptst's min
istry was a 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
Lesson q. 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
stratiOn OF His ability to save to the
uttermost all who trust Him.
Lesson S. Isaiah foretOld the gold
en- age upon the earth when Christ
will reign.
Lesson 6. While Jesus was here He
healed all kinds of diseases and cast
out devils. He authenticated His
mission and proved His power to for.
Lesson 7. Jesus taught the dis
ciples the principles which should
! govern in His kingdom. Ohly those
who have been born from bove can
love their enemies.
Lesson 8. While In Simon's house
at dinner, Il woman who had been a
3 notorious sinner anOinted Jesus feet
and wiped them with her hair. The
, sinners gratitude to Jesus for for
giveness is measured by the appre-
hension of sins forgiven.
Lesson 9. Jesus went forth through
out every city preaching the glad tid-
! ings OF the Kingdom Of God. The fact
OF salvation for sins through q cruel.
fled Redeemer is truly glad tldinss.
Lesson 10. Jesus sent forth mis-
sionaries with the realization Of the
big task before them. and with power
to perform supernatural deeds to au-
thenticate their mission. Those who
realize the bigneSs of their task will
earnestly pray that the Lord will
send forth iaborers into His harvest.
Lesson II. Jesus reply to the uues-
J tiOn Of certain lawyer, "Who Is nv
neighborT shows that the all-impor-
tant consideration Is not "Who !s nv
neighbour" but GLOW can show that
I am Il neighbOrT
Lesson IL. A certain rich man In
his perplexity over his prosperity de-
cided to provide larger stores and set
tie down to life of senSuOus indul-
gence. The one who lays up treas
ures on earth and is not rich toward
God Is fool.
True Prayer.
