Description
Who is Christ? Most Christians know who He was in biblical history, but many don't know who He is today or His purpose in and for each person's life. The Bible defines Christians as those who live lives patterned after Christ. But what exactly is that life? The Bible admonishes the believer to live, "Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."—Hebrews 7:2
The 1937 fourth quarter Sabbath School Lesson on the Sanctuary is included as an appendix in this book.
