Christ Our Saviour
E. G. WHITE
IN this book is given in simple and direct language the life of our Saviour from his birth to his death, resurrection, and ascension. The treatment of the subject may be divided into four parts, as follows:— GCB October 1895, page 593.5
CHILD-LIFE OF JESUS
This department is one of thrilling interest, as it takes us into the home life of the child Jesus, and gives us beautiful glimpses of his character in his earlier years. It details the uncompromising struggle between the true worship of God as manifested in his daily life, and the errors and traditions which the Pharisees and elders of Israel endeavored to compel him to observe. But even in his childhood days he stood as firm as a rock, and refused to be guided by any teaching unless it could be found revealed in God’s word. But in his early childhood he was mighty in the Scriptures, and was always able to prove the correctness of his position by the Word. GCB October 1895, page 593.6
This department tells how his brothers were arrayed against him, and even his mother urged him to yield to the demands of the teachers in Israel. Thus in his child life he suffered persecution in his own home on account of his religious belief. GCB October 1895, page 593.7
HIS EARLY HISTORY
This takes up the story of the birth of Jesus, and briefly carries us through his early life until the time of his going up to Jerusalem to be crucified. GCB October 1895, page 593.8
THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST
This occupies much the larger part of the book. It is a department of thrilling interest, full of the most valuable lessons for every-day life. GCB October 1895, page 593.9
RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION
The closing work of our Saviour on earth, and the glorious heritage purchased by him for his followers here below, are given in words that touch deeply the heart of the reader. GCB October 1895, page 593.10
ILLUSTRATIONS, TYPE, Etc. This book is beautifully illustrated with 74 engravings, nearly all of which are original, having been designed and engraved expressly for this book. The book is printed from new, large, clear type, making it very easily read. GCB October 1895, page 593.11
