Interviste a margine del convegno “Ricominciamo da te. Incontri di riflessione, formazione biblica e teologica sulla violenza contro le donne”, organizzato dalla Federazione donne evangeliche in Italia, il 5 e 6 maggio, presso l’Istituto avventista di Firenze. Parlano le pastore e teologhe Elisabeth Green e Lidia Maggi, della Chiesa battista; Letizia Tomassone della Chiesa valdese; e Corinne Lanoir, docente di Antico Testamento alla Facoltà protestante di teologia di Parigi. Il convegno ha voluto informare in modo approfondito sulle cause sociali e culturali della violenza di genere, per essere portatori e portatrici di cambiamento e quindi con la possibilità di sensibilizzare per intervenire, influenzare e trasformare situazioni di violenza di genere; per costruire relazioni e pratiche diverse da quelle del dominio nel contesto nel quale ci troviamo; per testimoniare la nostra fede.

Sabbath: The Promise
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 22:1-24, Hebrews 11:17, Leviticus 18:21, John 1:1-3, Romans 5:6-8, Genesis 23:1-25:34, Romans 4:1-12.
Memory Text: “Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things” (Genesis 24:1, NKJV).
Finally, as God had promised, Sarah bore Abraham a son, “in his old age” (Genesis 21:2), and he named the baby Isaac (see Genesis 21:1-5). But the story of Abraham is far from over, reaching a climactic moment with him taking his son to Mount Moriah to be sacrificed. Isaac, however, is replaced by a ram (Genesis 22:13), which signified God’s commitment to bless the nations through his “seed” (Genesis 22:17-18). That seed, of course, was Jesus (Acts 13:23). Hence, in this astonishing (and in some ways troubling) story more of the plan of salvation is revealed.
Whatever the deep spiritual lessons here, the family of Abraham, nevertheless, must have been shaken by it, and the future of Abraham is not clear. Sarah dies after the sacrifice at Moriah (Genesis chapter 23), and Isaac remains single.
Abraham then takes the initiative to make sure that the “right” future will follow him. He arranges the marriage of his son to Rebekah (Genesis chapter 24), who will give birth to two sons (Genesis 25:21-23), and Abraham himself gets married to Keturah, who will give him many children (Genesis 25:1-6). This week, we will follow Abraham to the end of his life (Genesis 25:7-11).
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, May 21.
Amen!

Belief #16: The Lord’s Supper [What Does the Bible Say?] – Pastor Ted Wilson
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoqpgmOb0GI?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-GB&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=1280&h=720]
In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the Lord’s Supper based on the sixteenth fundamental belief of the Seventh-day Adventists.
The Lord’s Supper is a participation in the emblems of the body and blood of Jesus as an expression of faith in Him. In this experience, Christ is present to meet and strengthen His people. And as we partake in it, we “proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Preparation for this communion includes self-examination, repentance, and confession. These are manifested in the service of foot washing, signifying renewed cleansing and willingness to serve one another in Christlike humility and unite our hearts in love.
The Lord’s Supper follows Jesus’ demonstration of love when He washed His disciples’ feet like a servant. By doing this, He showed an example of kindness and unconditional love. “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you” (John 13:14-15).
Aside from washing one another’s feet, the three significant parts of the communion service involve eating unleavened bread and drinking grape juice. All these are symbolic of Christ’s sacrifice to save us and the servant-like example He set.
Also, these actions follow Jesus’ words to His disciples: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19).
The bread represents Christ’s body broken for us. “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’” (Matthew 26:26).
Jesus said in John 6:48, “I am the Bread of life.” In verse 51, He continued, “I am the living Bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
This bread, as used in the communion service, is unleavened. Why?
During the Passover, God instructed the Israelites to get ready to leave Egypt soon as Pharaoh permitted. So, they baked unleavened cakes of dough. Through the years, they used unleavened bread in celebrating the Passover as a reminder of their exodus from Egypt.
Meanwhile, Apostle added another meaning to this. “Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore, purge out the old leaven that you may be a new lump since you truly are unleavened. For indeed, Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast not with old leaven nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:6-8).
On the other hand, the fruit of the vine symbolizes Jesus’ blood “which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:28). “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22).
This fruit of the vine, as used in Passover, was unfermented grape juice. Jesus said in Matthew 26:29, “I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
With this, the Bible condemns fermented wine. In Proverbs 20:1, we read that “wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.” Also, “do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last, it bites like a serpent and stings like a viper” (Proverbs 23:31-32).
As such, only pure grape juice, freshly squeezed from the vine, fits the symbol of the perfect blood of Christ.
Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper to commemorate our deliverance from sin. It is the new covenant service that continues the Passover celebration.
The communion is the perfect time to think about how we can grow in Christ and honor Him with our lives.
