for we bring to such an one a great Saviour and a great Salvation. 1. Christ came to save sinners. This was His mission to earth. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Tim. 1:15. The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10. If a man is a great sinner, he knows he is lost. He must be shown that Jesus came to find him; came be- cause His great heart was moved with compassion for him. 2. Christ came to save helpless, un- godly sinners. "For when we were yet without strength, Christ died for the ungodly." Rom. 5:6. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8. Because we were helpless, He came to help, and because we were with- out God He came to bring us back to God! 3. Christ suffered for sins. Christ suffered for sins, the just for the un- just. 1 Pet. 3:18. He was wounded, bruised, chastened for sins. Isa. 53:5. 4. Christ is the Sin-Bearer. "Behold the Lamb of God which beareth away the sin of the world." Jno. 1:29. Who His own self bare our sins in Hii own body on the tree." 1 Pet. 2:24. 5. Christ is the Sin Purger or Clean- ser. When He had by himself purged our sins. Heb. 1:3. Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow. Isa. 1:18. His blood cleanses from all sin. 1 Jno. 1:7. His blood cleanses from all unrighteousness. 1 Jno. 1:9. 6. Christ is able to save sinners. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost. Heb. 7:28. He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. 1 Jno. 2:2. 7. Christ is willing to save sinners. Come unto me and I will give you rest.
>S my Father hath sent me even . J so send I you." Jno. 20:21. /V y God so loved the world that S^ He sent His Son; Christ so 0 GXD iy loved the world that He has sent us. Christ said, "I delight to do Thy will." Can you say that? In the matter of saving the lost to which you are sent by the Son of God, are you rejoicing in your privilege? Before you take up the lesson for the month it will be well to pause a moment and' get our bearings. Do we recognize our calling? Are we praying every day, "Lord, make me a soul winner?" Have we a prayer list, and are we praying daily for those upon the list? What have you done during the last month? Have you spoken to some person about his soul's destiny? As you take up the lesson dedicate your- self afresh to the supreme thing in human life, soul saving. In dealing with the indifferent we found that we needed to give them the message to bring conviction; with those anxious to be saved we told them the story of the Cross; we now come to one that claims that he is Too Great a Sinner. There are those who, deeply conscious of their sins, feel that their sins are too great to be forgiven. This is a healthy condition in which to find a soul, and the method, of dealing with such an one is simple. First: Do not attempt to make light of the sins of such an one. God has graciously brought him to see the enormity of his sin, but he cannot see it as heinous as God sees it; neither can he see it as hateful and awful as he will see it after he has experienced the saving power of Christ and has come to understand His spotless char- acter and holiness. If one feels that he is a great sinner, then we can rejoice,
