Daily Lesson for Saturday 18th of November 2023
Read for This Week’s Study
Luke 5:17-26, John 5:1-9, Deuteronomy 10:19, Leviticus 23:22, Matthew 25:34-40, John 15:13.
Memory Text:
“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me’ ” (Matthew 25:40, NKJV).
Luke 5:17-26 provides many illustrations of how God is helping those in need. Sometimes God uses others to help us, or He uses us to help others. This work can be challenging, but it brings great rewards. By helping those in need, we are modeling the ministry of Jesus Christ. Sometimes it is easy to tell who is in need of help; at other times it is difficult to know. Whatever the situation, we are called to be God’s helpers for all people in need, regardless of their background.
The Bible encourages us to draw close to strangers, and by winning their confidence we can learn better ways of helping them find Jesus.
In this week’s lesson, our topic, “Mission to the Needy,” shows that God has a plan to reach those who might be needy in any number of ways. Their needs might be physical, emotional, financial, or even social: that is, some might be deemed as outcasts from their community or family. Whatever the needs are, we must be ready to do what we can to help. This is a central part of what it means to be a Christian and what mission must include.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, November 25.

by Thandazani Mhlanga | 16 November 2023 | Proficient storytellers understand that storytelling is the art of shaping human lives. In the hands of a skilled rhetorician, it may be the sharpest transformational tool in our ideological tool box. Storytellers know that how a story is told is inextricable from why it is told. Yet […] Source: https://atoday.org/muhammad-abraham-and-jesus-how-we-tell-stories/
