Wisdom and Power.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC-Lesson of Jesus Central Year.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Central Period of Christ IS Ministry.
The best way to conduct the review
for adults Is to present the heart of
each lesson. This can be done by max
ing assignments to the members of the
class a week ahead, or by asking all
members of the class to prepare on
each lesson and the teacher to skill
fully draw the central teaching of the
lesson from the class. The following
suggestions are offered:
Lesson !. Having proclaimed the
laws of the Kingdom and wrought
miracles to demonstrate His power to
administer the affairs of the Kingdom,
Christ sent forth the twelve to propa-
gate the Kingdom. He had not only
power over the chief foes of mankind,
sin, sickness, demons storms, etc., but
could give that power to his disciples.
Lesson II. This is the model prayer
for the disciples. True prayer is the
communion of the human personality
with the divine personality. The su-
preme need is a right relationship on
the part of the human. He must be
able to say "Our Father" Without
becoming a child of God through faith
in Jesus Christ no one can pray ac-
ceptably.
Lesson III. The parable of the
sower teaches that the measure Of
fruitfulness from the sowing of the
Word of God is determined by the
condition of the human heart.
Lesson ~. Although Jesus was a
real man and therefore needed rest
after His strenuous day of teaching.
He was also divine as shown by His
power to still the stormy sea by mere
ly speaking a word.
Lesson v. The parable of the Prodi-
gal Son reveals the love of a pardon
ing God for shining race. The CEN
trail interest is not in the return of
prodigal, but in the loving heart Of
our Father God.
Lesson vi. In this lesson we see
Jesus feeding a multitude with very
scanty provisions. 1t shows that He
possesses creative power and therefore
Is God. While the creation Of the
food was the Lords part yet the dis
ciples had to distribute the food ere
ated; and on the part of the people
it was necessary that they should obey
the Lord and eat.
! Lesson VII. The central teaching
of Peters confession Of Christ is that
Jesus is the Christ the Son of the liv.
ing God.
Lesson VIII. In the transfiguration
Is portrayed the method of the messi-
anic Kingdom as well as the message
of the King to his discouraged dis
ciples. He showed the discouraged
and Respondent disciples that beyond
the cross which they so keenly re-
sented would come into realization the
Kingdom which they hoped for.
Lesson TX. The parable of the Good
Samaritan teaches that my neighbor is
the one who needs my help; and that
being neighbor means to be on the
lookout for those in need and to rem
der assistance to the limit Of my abil-
ity.
Lesson X. The opening of the eyes
of the man born blind Is an acted par
able illustrating In the physical sphere
the working of divine grace In the spir-
itual sphere, as experienced in the
| salvation Of soul.
Lesson XII. The raising Of Lazarus
from the dead not only assures US
that there will be a resurrection Of
the dead but that Jesus Christ is the
resurrection and the life.
Lesson XII. God became incarnate
In order to reveal Himself to the
world. God can only be known as the
Son reveals Him.
