Daily Lesson for Sabbath 22nd of March 2025

Memory Text:
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8, NKJV).
While they were dealing with a problematic member, someone on the church board said to the pastor, “We can’t make decisions based on compassion.” We can’t? The pastor wondered what this person’s understanding of God and of God’s law must have been. Compassion certainly needs to be central in how we deal with people, especially erring ones. Compassion is part and parcel of love, and as Romans 13:8 tells us, to love one’s neighbor is to fulfill the law.
If love is indeed the fulfillment of the law, then we should be careful not to think of law in a way that is separate from love or to think of love in a way that is disconnected from law. In Scripture, love and law go together. The divine Lawgiver is love, and accordingly, God’s law is the law of love. It is, as Ellen G. White put it, the transcript of God’s character. (See Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 305.)
God’s law is not a set of abstract principles but commands and instructions intended for our flourishing. God’s law is, in its totality, an expression of love as God Himself expresses it.

Are you feeling weighed down by the burdens of daily life? Do you long for a renewed mind and a refreshed spirit? The Sabbath is more than just a day—it's an opportunity to experience true rest, reflection, and renewal. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us that in Christ, we are made new:
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." This weekly reset is a divine gift—a chance to start anew and fill our hearts with what is honorable, pure, and lovely. Take this time to reflect, rejoice, and embrace the blessings of the Sabbath. 🌿 How do you experience renewal on the Sabbath?
