Let's start a new quarter with the author of the new Sabbath School Lesson, Pastor Mark Finley. Sharing the gospel is difficult for some people and they feel burdened. But God is reminding us that it is not our work to do, it is God’s. He wants us to share what we already have in us. It is Jesus who we got! We can share the word of God by making friends and mingling with other people. Missionary work could be much easier if we are motivated with love and with a willingness to serve. That is why the Sabbath School lesson was written to teach us how to be an effective laborer of God in hastening His soon coming. Join us for THE ULTIMATE GUIDE IN SHARING THE GOSPEL BY PASTOR MARK FINLEY! As he summarizes the Sabbath School Lesson Quarter entitled Making Friends for God: The Joy of Sharing in His Mission (13 lesson topics).

The Book of #Daniel starts with King #Nebuchadnezzar entering Judah. The king takes Jewish prisoners to #Babylon. The book of Daniel ends with Michael. He stands up to free God’s people from end-time Babylon. The whole book of Daniel shows us that God works everything out for His people in the end. As we saw, Daniel and his friends stay loyal to God. They show wisdom and faith in God during hard times. In the same way, God’s people also will show their faith in the end times. They will stay loyal to God during “ ‘a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth’ ” (Daniel 12:1, ERV). During this time, God’s people will show the same wisdom and understanding that Daniel and his friends showed in Babylon. Then God’s people will lead other people to God. They will show people how to live holy lives. Some of God’s end-time people will die or be killed. Their dead bodies will be buried in the earth. Then they will turn to dust. But Jesus will wake them up from the dead and give them everlasting life (Daniel 12:2). #SabbathSchool Lesson 13: https://bit.ly/3b4tJAg Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXCvF686rzg

"The intercession of Christ in man's behalf in the sanctuary above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon the cross. By His death He began that work which after His resurrection He ascended to complete in heaven." The Great Controvery page 489 The calculation of the time indicated in Daniel 8 leads to the year 1844. A year when many honest people expected Jesus to come and while they were correct in the time calculation, they were wrong in the expected event. Assuming, as many Christians did, that the term sanctuary referred to the earth, their conclusion was that Jesus would come and cleanse the earth in 1844. However, through much Bible study and prayer, these early Adventists learned that the sanctuary referred in Daniel 8:14 is the heavenly sanctuary where Christ is ministering today for you and for me. The earthly sanctuary built by human hands, but following divine instructions was a type of the heavenly sanctuary. It served as an object lesson, illustrating the plan of salvation. That plan included a special time known as the Day of Atonement when the high priest entered the most Holy place and the sanctuary would be cleansed by the symbolic removal of sin. Now this important ceremony represents what began on October 22, 1844 when Christ entered the most Holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. The world is changing rapidly and yet, praise God, His word never changes. Place your hope in Jesus, our savior, our advocate, our high priest, and our soon coming King, he will never fail those who put their trust in him. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfaSjoHpqGk
