Saturday: God’s Mission to Us: Part 2
Image © Pacific Press
Daily Lesson for Saturday 7th of October 2023
Read for This Week’s Study
John 20:21-22; Matthew 28:16-20; Revelation 14:6-7; Deuteronomy 7:6,11-12; Revelation 7:9-10.
Memory Text:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV).
The theme, that of God as a God of mission, runs throughout Scripture. It is the connecting thread of human history, and it demonstrates God’s purpose for His creation. Furthermore, it consolidates divine revelation with a main focus: the restoration of God’s image in His fallen children (compare with Colossians 3:9-10; 1 John 3:2).
The mission of God also functions as the background through which we should see and understand God’s Word to us. When we read the Bible, we can identify a God who is intentionally reaching out to us. In spite of the separation caused by sin (Isaiah 59:2), through His mission God continues to restore the broken relationship with humanity until the glorious moment when He will “make all things new” (Revelation 21:5, NKJV).
In the meanwhile, God has chosen to manifest Himself to us in such a way that we can understand His nature and purpose, and above all, we can have a real and lasting relationship with Him. In other words, we not only come to know Him but also share, with others, our experience with Him and His saving love.
In the Scriptures, then, God gives us the basic elements of what His mission is all about.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 14.
Amen!

Dillo al mondo – 2
Gesù ritorna
Sono solo un vecchio agricoltore, ma le Scritture sono diventate la mia grande gioia. Le conoscenze tratte dai libri di Daniele e dell’Apocalisse di cui parliamo oggi sono il frutto di molti anni di studio personale. Ma penso sia importante che voi sappiate che non sono il solo ad avere tali convinzioni. Molti altri ovunque nel nostro paese ora credono a queste stesse verità. Il nostro messaggio è lo stesso perché esso è evidente a tutti, nelle pagine della Parola di Dio. Ed è diffuso con urgenza perché, miei cari amici ormai al ritorno di Cristo manca molto poco.

Оскорбительная эсхатология
Лорен Сейболд | 11 июля 2020 | Ещё в апреле, когда я опубликовал статью о завершении времени благодати, мне написал один очень обеспокоенный пастор. Он, используя, как я считаю, излишне вульгарную метафору, сравнил мою статью с чем-то очень отвратительным, что я совершил посреди адвентистской гостиной. Я предпочитаю думать, что я был назван слоном в гостиной, […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%be%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b1%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%8f-%d1%8d%d1%81%d1%85%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b3%d0%b8%d1%8f/
