The Reality Behind the Challenges of Life
Perhaps you are like me; you tend to think sunny days are the only perfect days, the days of peace, plenty and pleasure, but what if life was always sunny? What if everything always went well? There is an Arab expression that goes like this… “All sunshine makes a desert.” What does that mean? ===

Sabbath: Tried and Crucified
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 14th of September 2024
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study: Mark 15:1-47, Luke 13:1, Psalms 22:18, John 20:24-29, John 1:1-3, Daniel 9:24-27.
Memory Text:
“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which is translated, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’ ” (Mark 15:34, NKJV).
Mark 15:1-47 is the heart of the Passion Narrative. It presents the trial of Jesus, His condemnation, the mockery by the soldiers, His crucifixion, and then His death and burial. The events in this chapter are presented in stark, crisp detail, likely because the author let the facts speak for themselves.
Throughout this chapter, irony plays an important role. Because of this, it is helpful to have a clear definition of what irony is.
Irony often contains three components: (1) two levels of meaning, (2) the two levels are in conflict or contrast to each other, and (3) someone does not see the irony and does not recognize what is happening and does not know that he or she is the one who will suffer the consequences.
This week, from the question of Pilate, “ ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ ” to the mocking soldiers, the sign above the cross, and the mocking of the religious leaders, “ ‘He saved others; Himself He cannot save,’ ” to the unexpected appearance of Joseph of Arimathea, the chapter is filled with painful ironies that nevertheless reveal powerful truths about the death of Jesus and what it means.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, September 21.
