Sabbath: Teaching Disciples: Part II
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 17th of August 2024
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study
Mark 10:1-52; Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:24; Galatians 4:1-2; Romans 6:1-11; Isaiah 11:1-16.
Memory Text:
“ ‘For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many’ ” (Mark 10:45, NKJV).
This week covers Mark 10:1-52, completing the special section in which Jesus teaches His disciples in preparation for the Cross. About half of the chapter deals with the disciples themselves, and the rest with issues important to discipleship but told through the lens of others who interact with Jesus. Pharisees come and argue with Him over the subject of divorce. Parents bring their children for Jesus to bless. A rich man asks about eternal life, and a blind man asks for sight.
This chapter of Mark carries important teachings about what it means to follow Jesus, particularly as it relates to living in the here and now: marriage, children, how to relate to riches, and the reward and cost of following Him. Topping it off is the healing of a second blind man (Mark 10:46-52; compare with Mark 8:22-26), which provides the closing bookend for the section (Mark 8:22-38; Mark 9:1-50; Mark 10:1-52) and a beautiful illustration of what following Jesus both costs and leads to.
Together, these lessons prepare the follower of Jesus—whether the disciples 2,000 years ago or disciples in the twenty-first century—for the challenges that come with discipleship.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, August 24.

Luchando por el fin del mundo
Imagine un influyente movimiento de fundamentalistas cristianos en Estados Unidos que, con millones de dólares de respaldo y conexiones en el gobierno, luchan por el fin del mundo. Imagínese a personas con esa mentalidad manipulando la política estadounidense y la política exterior para provocar lo que buscan: el apocalipsis. Dando un paso más, imagine a […] Source: https://atoday.org/luchando-por-el-fin-del-mundo/
Leaders, Misleaders, and Renewal, Part 2: “They talk at us, not with us”
by Charles Scriven | 16 August 2024 | Read part 1 here. Change is difficult as well as energizing. In obliterating complacency, Christ brings challenges as well as solace. Nor does anything I’m saying here entail disdain for helping administrative units to function well. For a large—in our case, international—communion of congregations, administrative units are […] Source: https://atoday.org/leaders-misleaders-and-renewal-part-they-talk-at-us-not-with-us/
