26 May 2025 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I am so discouraged by the backbiting and manipulative behavior of Adventists, that I want to just get away from it all. You’ve been a part of this denomination longer than I have, Aunty—how do you survive? I want to be a part of a loving Christian community.

No matter how deep you are in your sea of struggles or how unbearable the flames of your trials may feel, Jesus has not left you.

From the sacred rituals of the sanctuary to the final cry of Jesus on the cross, God had one goal all along—to seek and save the lost. Every symbol pointed forward—every drop of blood whispered redemption. Save this post as a reminder that YOU were HIS purpose all along. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdlNcoE9yzQ

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 27th of May 2025
Long term, the future is bright. Until then, humanity ceded dominion over the planet to Lucifer, and by the time Satan appeared at the heavenly council in Job, he boasted that this earth belonged to him.
“ ‘From where do you come?’ ” God asked.
“ ‘From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it,’ ” he replied (Job 1:7, NKJV).

Satan was declaring ownership; the foot was used in antiquity to represent ownership. “ ‘Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land,’ ” God instructed Abraham, “ ‘for I will give it to you’ ” (Genesis 13:17, ESV).
Compare 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and Zechariah 14:4, and pay attention to Christ’s feet. What differences do you find between these passages, and what do they teach us about these two different, though related, aspects of Christ’s ultimate sovereignty of this world?
Talking about what Christ does at the end of the millennium, Ellen G. White wrote: “Christ descends upon the Mount of Olives, whence, after His resurrection, He ascended, and where angels repeated the promise of His return. Says the prophet: ‘The Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with Thee.’ ‘And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof, . . . and there shall be a very great valley.’ ‘And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name one.’ Zechariah 14:4-5,9. As the New Jerusalem, in its dazzling splendor, comes down out of heaven, it rests upon the place purified and made ready to receive it, and Christ, with His people and the angels, enters the Holy City.”—The Great Controversy, Pages 662, 663.

Look at the hope we have been given in Jesus. Think about how hard life would be if everything ended, forever, with death. It would all be futile, would it not? |
