Christ in Acts and Epistles Foreword for 1909 Lessons
The 1909 Sunday school lessons from the international committee focus on Acts and the Epistles. The author argues these writings emphasize the deity of Christ through titles like Jesus Christ and Lord Jesus, and present faith rooted in historic facts of the incarnation, cross, and resurrection. The piece discusses Luke’s gospel linking to Acts, the Great Commission, the Ascension, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, urging meditation and prayer as guiding light.
