John has written what is possibly the most well-known Bible verse in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son” which has had many say 
Lord, I Have Made Thy Word My Choice – Hymn 273 and 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. John writes of many people who turned to Jesus in this quarter’s studies. Here are two hymns from which to choose for your theme hymn this quarter.

 Our Memory Text tells us 
So Send I You – Hymn 578 just as “The Father has sent Me” and we can all say that
Jesus Is All The World To Me – Hymn 185 when answering the final question on Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to our week of study.

 Sunday helps us to sing the opposite to what John 10:24, 25 tells of those in Jesus’ day. May we with great truth and honesty of heart sing 
Hymn 486 – I Do Believe and 
Hymn 511 – I Know Whom I Have Believed.

 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday really teach us to ask 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272, and 
Hymn 152 – Tell Me The Story of Jesus once again or 
Hymn 196 – Tell Me The Old, Old Story, with Thursday’s quote of Jesus in John 8:23 having us sing 
Hymn 329 – Take The World But Give Me Jesus because Jesus said “I am not of this world”.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless many others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Daily Lesson for Monday 18th of November 2024

In addition to the specific signs and testimonies that John used to point to Jesus as the Messiah, John also appealed to the authority of the Old Testament and to its prophecies, which foretold the work of Christ. The Old Testament is central, not just to John’s Gospel but to all the New Testament. Justification for Jesus, for who He was, where He came from, what He did, and what He will do—is based on Scripture, in this case the Old Testament.

All through the Gospels, time and again, Jesus points to the authority of Scripture as a key witness to Him. For instance, Jesus often uses events from the Old Testament to help point to Himself and to what He does. The following is one case, where He takes an event from Numbers 21:5-9. “ ‘As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up’ ” (John 3:14, NKJV). Here, not only does Jesus refer to the story, but by using it to point to Himself, He basically gives us the authoritative interpretation of what the story meant to convey.

And not just Jesus, but others, as well, use the Old Testament to point to Jesus. For example, early on in John, we read the words of Philip: “ ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote’ ” (John 1:45, NKJV).
