Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Genesis 46 brings the story of Joseph full circle. Long ago, Jacob’s mourning over his dead son turned to a dull ache that wouldn’t go away. Now, there’s a huge lump in his throat as he learns his son is alive after all. But will they still have a relationship after all these years? And the promise God made to his family – was it imaginary? Jacob offers a sacrifice to God before the trip, but he is nervous. That night, God speaks to Jacob and tells him not to be afraid because the promise still stands (vs. 3). Joseph and Jacob have a wonderful reunion – Jacob thought his son was dead, but he is alive! They embrace each other and weep together for a long time. Joseph advises his family to tell the Egyptians that they are shepherds, a profession he says Egyptians think is an “abomination,” so they can live away from the Egyptians in Goshen. While it is good land, they are also able to live separate from the religious and cultural influences of the region and more freely practice their faith.
It will be hundreds of years before the family leaves Egypt but God will still keep His promise." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/46 Our accounts in other social networks:

10: Jesus Opens the Way Through the Veil – Singing With Inspiration
The titles of the thirteen Sabbaths of study this quarter give us two hymns to use as the themes:
Hymn 593 – In Times Like These and Hymn 177 – Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness.
On Sabbath afternoon, the book of Hebrews tells us of “the ascension of Jesus to heaven” and this is sung in:
Hymn 182 – Christ Is Alive (verse 4),
Hymn 228 – A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing (verse 1),
Hymn 378 – Go, Preach My Gospel (verse 4),
Hymn 408 – Lord, Enthroned in Heavenly Splendor,
Hymn 415 – Christ the Lord All Power Possessing and
Hymn 417 – O Solemn Thought.
Sunday tells of the blood Jesus shed for me,
Hymn 177 – Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness, then he rose
Hymn 148 – O Love How Deep How Broad, and is again now before the Father.
God’s invitation asks us to consecrate our lives to Him:
Hymn 330 – Take My Life and Let It Be. We then wish to follow in the footsteps of Israel of old and see God’s glory:
Hymn 435 – The Glory Song but not have Israel’s lack of faith:
Hymn 533 – O For a Faith. As God tried to teach Israel, we ask today
Hymn 193 – Savior, Teach Me as we see
God’s Free Mercy Streameth – Hymn 110.
It is with awe and wonder we see that as Christ died on Calvary, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom:
Hymn 178 – The Unveiled Christ.
With all that Jesus has done, and is doing for us,
My Faith Has Found a Resting Place – Hymn 523 as I need no other evidence. We have in front of us
The Name That Brings Salvation – Hymn 646.
Our earthly history shows that we have our anchor in Jesus:
Hymn 534 – Will Your Anchor Hold? so that we will soon be able to see Jesus
Face to Face – Hymn 206.
Hold on, dear people as we are
Marching to Zion – Hymn 422, that beautiful City of God where “we will celebrate it (Feast of Booths) with Jesus” – Thursday’s closing remark.
As “the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples” (Friday), so we ask to be rekindled today in
Hymn 269 – Come Holy Spirit as
The Spirit of The Lord – Hymn 261 is revealed to each of us.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! –
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks. Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing, but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Monday: God’s Invitation
Read Hebrews 12:18-21. What was the experience of Israel at Mount Sinai?
When God called Israel from Egypt, His plan was to create a personal, intimate relationship with them. He said, “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself” (Exodus 19:3-4, NKJV).
Thus, through Moses God gave the necessary instructions to prepare the people to meet with Him. The people needed to consecrate themselves first (Exodus 19:10-15). Those who ascended to the foot of the mountain without preparation would die. Nevertheless, once the people had prepared themselves for two days, then “when the trumpet sounds a long blast” on the third day, God instructed that the people “shall come up to the mountain” (Exodus 19:13, ESV). He wanted them to have the experience Moses and the leaders of the people would have when they ascended the mountain and “beheld God and ate and drank” in His presence (Exodus 24:9-11, ESV). The people later recognized that they had seen God’s glory and that it was possible for God to speak “with man, and man still live” (Deuteronomy 5:24, ESV). But, when the moment came, they lacked faith. Moses explained years later: “you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up into the mountain” (Deuteronomy 5:5, ESV). Instead, they asked Moses to be their intermediary (Deuteronomy 5:25-27, compare with Exodus 20:18-21).
God’s manifestation of His holiness at Mt. Sinai was to teach the people to learn to “fear,” or respect, Him. The “fear of the Lord” leads to life, wisdom, and honor (Deuteronomy 4:10; compare with Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 9:10, Proverbs 10:27) — and also to learn that He is merciful and gracious (Exodus 34:4-8). Thus, while God wanted Israel to come to Him, the people became afraid and requested Moses to be their intermediary. The description in Hebrews of the events at Sinai follows primarily Moses’ reminding the people of their lack of faith and their apostasy with the golden calf, and how he was afraid of meeting God because of their sin (Deuteronomy 9:19). The people’s reaction was not God’s plan for them; it was, instead, the result of their faithlessness.
Because of Jesus, why should we not be afraid to draw near to a holy God? What are the conditions, however, for us to be able to draw near? |
