Sabbath: Light Shines in the Darkness
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 13th of April 2024
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study
John 8:44; Proverbs 23:23; Acts 20:27-32; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; Psalms 119:105,116,130,133,160; Proverbs 16:25; 2 Corinthians 4:3-6.
Memory Text:
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going’ ” (John 12:35, NKJV).
In the Bible’s last book, Revelation, the devil is pictured as a dragon and a serpent (Revelation 12:9). He is a dragon because he desires to destroy God’s people, and he is a serpent because he uses all his cunning lies to deceive them. In the years after Christ’s death, thousands were tortured, thrown to lions, and burned at the stake by imperial Rome for refusing to worship its deities. Yet, in the face of this cruel punishment, many stayed faithful, the gospel continued to spread, and the church grew.
As a result, Satan changed his strategy. Scores of pagans were baptized but without thorough instruction in Bible truth. Error flooded into the church as leaders merged the truths of Scripture with popular customs. The fourth and fifth centuries were eras of compromise when church prelates blended pagan practices with Christian teachings.
Yet, even in life’s most difficult times, God was continually with His people. They found Jesus, “the way, the truth and the life,” and through the power of the Holy Spirit, they stood firm, even in the face of overwhelming pressure to yield their conscientious convictions. They stayed loyal to God’s revealed will in Scripture and unflinchingly stood for the truth of His Word, regardless of the pressure placed on them, either overtly or subtly.
*Study this week’s lesson, based on The Great Controversy, chapter 3, to prepare for Sabbath, April 20.
