LESSON III. Peter's Confession of Christ.
LESSON VII. Laborers and Vineyard.
The lesson of import here is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and Son of Man, and that no matter how other men may view it, You must so believe, and confess Him. He is perfectly human, born of a woman, the virgin Mary. He is perfectly Divine—"The Word was God." Upon this Confession on your part you are builded into the structure of the church. Luke 1:30-33; John 1:1; Matt. 16:18.
The workman is worthy of his wages, and the Lord pays the price. He who hires determines the' value of the serv- ice. With the Lord it is a question of quality rather than quantity. Whatso- ever your hand finds to do, do with your might, Ecc. 9:10, and do all to His glory, I Cor. 10:31.
LESSON VIII. Self Seekers.
LESSON IV. The Transfiguration.
The gist of this lesson is, that three years of fellowship with the Lord had failed to remove from His followers the love of place. How truly He could say: ' ' Have I been so long time. with you and yet hast thou not known me ?" John 14:7. He who truly knows His Lprd can never seek place or promi- nence. He win find his place at the feet of his Master. Phiy. 2:5-8.
In this event the Lord Christ is at- tested as the Divine Son by the Father, who spake from heaven; the Holy Spirit who glorifies -Him so that His body was illumined; Moses and Elijah who came from glory to hold converse with Him; and by Peter who sets the seal to it. I Pet. 1:19. His coming in glory is also foreshadowed. Phil. 3:20-21.
LESSON IX. The King's Home Coming.
LESSON V. Lesson on Forgiveness.
Here we are taught that not a jot or tittle of the scriptures shall pass until all is fulfilled. Matt, 5:18. If the little details of His riding on the foal of an ass were literally fulfilled, how much more shall the promise of His coming in the clouds of heaven be fulfilled to the very letter. Yet some deny His per- sonal return. Rev. 1:7; Acts 1:11; Zech. 14:4.
This lesson enunciates a great prac- tical principle. The child of God has a nature which enables him to be like His Lord, and so he can forgive because he has been forgiven. Col. 1:14. Put this principle in practice in your daily life and thus grow in grace.
LESSON VI. Jesus on the Way to Jerusalem.
LESSON X. The Parables of Judgments.
Here we have one of the sad pictures of the Bible, showing us how a man may ; lose eternal life by refusing to obey the Word of the Lord. No man is safe until he sees in the salvation of Jesus Christ the one essential thing for his soul and holds himself to this one thing until Christ becomes both Saviour and Lord. -He who lacks Christ lacks everything. Luke 16:19-22. He who has Christ has everything. Matt. 6:33.
There is a solemn lesson here. Those who magnify the love of God at the ex- pense of His judgment would do well to read this lesson. The Jewish nation is a constant testimony to the fact that God's goodness is not incompatible with His government, and that His wrath is terrible. Whoever rejects the Son of God will find the fires of God's ven-
