The heart of the Christian religion is found in Jesus Christ. If we
desire to know what Christianity is and of what elements it is
composed we must look to Him and His teachings. He is the great source
of our knowledge of what God, man, sin, righteousness, duty and
salvation are.
Our interest in the books of the Old Testament lies in the fact that
they lead up to Him. We study the books of the New Testament because
of their vivid portrayal of His life, teachings, death and
resurrection. With Jesus Christ a new era dawned for the world with
new principles, ideas and aspirations for humanity. His teachings
touch every department of human life and, where they are accepted and
followed, they show their marvellous transforming power. There can be
no more important study than what Jesus Christ said and did while upon
this earth. "Never man spake like this man" (John 7:46).
