Show ILIFE OF CHRIST 15 SiJECTOrfflfil Evang-elist Booth Is Holding Hold-ing Series of Revival Meetings Meet-ings in City. The Uf of Christ was beautifully illustrated illus-trated last night at the auditor Kim, 232 South West Temple st reet. Evangelist Booth paid in part: Chrlsl is the only being in tlie universe uni-verse that could offer himself as a perfect substitute for man. The an-pels an-pels would have, been glad to have taken his place and endured all that the Master did, but it uaB impossible. They, too, were on probation as the human family. That a wav might be provided for the lost world. Christ must die. Coming into this world, the Lord took upon himself human flesh. He was tempted In at! points as the human hu-man family, and was subject to like passions, as ivp. He also realized that lie was taking the same nature as man, and should he sin he would be I lost, even as the human family. In case the Lord had sinned, the plan of 1 salvation would have been a failure, man and Christ lost, and heaven would have been broken hearted forever, for-ever, it meairt something for the Master to consent to come into the world and endure the suffering and risk that he did. The Son of God has given us an example of holy living, and how to meet the enemy and gain the victory at all times. When the adversary came to the Master to tempt him to sin. he always al-ways met the devil with the plain, positive testimony from the word of God. Said the devil, "If thou be the Son of God. command these stones to be made bread." Christ answered. "Man shall not live by bread alone, out by every word that "proceedeth out of the month of God." Satan can not stand the word of God. He was defeated. On the pinnacle of the temple, tem-ple, and on the mount, when tpmpted by the devil, the Lord again appealed to the word. He said. "1C is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God." And again. "It is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God. and him only shalt thou serve." Satan left the Lord, and angels came and ministered unto him. If we want victory vic-tory over the enemy let us at all times he sure that we follow the Instructions In-structions of the plain testimonv of the Bible, and all will be well The theme tonight will be "Christ's Second Coming." The Study will he illustrated il-lustrated with beautiful colored pictures. |
