Its central thought is to present Jesus Christ as He is, Saviour, Messiah, Prophet, Priest, King,—which was the specific mission God had for the Jewish nation. This original plan of God with the Jews, and the causes which led to their failure in not revealing Jesus to the world as the only Messiah, are considered in an interesting manner. Their condition at Christ’s first advent, and their refusal to accept Him as the Saviour, are presented in a very practical way, as related to the church of the present time.
Many of the customs and traditions of the Jews, existing at the time of Christ, are vividly portrayed, as well as a number of their laws and commandments which Christ so frequently condemned as the traditions of men. All these things naturally make plain many of the Scriptures in the New as well as in the Old Testament, and thus create a stronger desire to understand the Bible.
