SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY

By Editor

Our reading for this week brings us into the first part of the last book of the Pentateuch. The book of Deuteronomy is packed full of the most important instructions. There are many people who believe that the Golden Rule was first enunciated by Christ when He was here in person. But we should know that such is not the case. We have found, from the nineteenth chapter of Leviticus and the eighteenth verse, that Christ had already announced the Golden Rule through Moses; and it is a remarkable fact that when the Master met the tempter in the wilderness, each time when He said, "It is written," He referred to a scripture found in the book of Deuteronomy. Those who have not found the gospel in the Old Testament Scriptures have not learned how to search properly. The Master would seem to emphasize particularly the value of the book of Deuteronomy, while at the same time no portion of the Old Testament Scriptures is to be passed by lightly.
