Sabbath: Christ in the Crucible

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Luke 2:7, Luke 2:22-24; Matthew 2:1-18; John 8:58-59; Luke 22:41-44; Matthew 27:51-52; Romans 6:23; Titus 1:2.
Memory Text: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
Whenever we look at the issue of suffering, the question comes: How did sin and suffering first arise? Through divine revelation we have good answers: They arose because free beings abused the freedom God had given them. This leads to another question: Did God know beforehand that these beings would fall? Yes, but obviously He thought it was, as C. S. Lewis wrote, “worth the risk.”
Worth the risk? For whom? For us, while God sits in heaven on His throne? Not exactly. The freedom of all His intelligent creatures was so sacred that, rather than deny us freedom, God chose to bear in Himself the brunt of the suffering caused by our abuse of that freedom. And we see this suffering in the life and death of Jesus, who, through suffering in our flesh, has created bonds between heaven and earth that will last throughout eternity.
The Week at a Glance: What did Christ suffer in our behalf? What can we learn from His suffering?

ADRA Trustee Recalls Meeting Queen Twice
ADRA Trustee Recalls Meeting The Queen Twice
In 2002, Her Majesty the Queen visited Jamaica as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations. After she had visited downtown Kingston to visit a very troubled area of the capital, Her Majesty paid a visit to the British High Commission, where I was working as the Development Attaché. She was introduced to the various teams but when I mentioned that the project she had just visited was one funded by the British government, Her Majesty smiled broadly and…Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2022-09-16/adra-trustee-recalls-meeting-queen-twice/
