by S.M. Chen | 28 October 2022 | The above words were used by famed Physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) to describe the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. There were likely very few things in life Einstein wanted to understand but didn’t or couldn’t. This may have been one even he had difficulty wrapping his head around.

Sabbath: He Died for Us
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Revelation 13:8; Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:30-32; John 19:1-30; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.
Memory Text: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:14-15, , NKJV).
It has been said that we cannot avoid death and taxes. That’s not entirely true. People can avoid taxes, but not death. They might be able to put death off a few years, but sooner or later, death always comes. And because we know that the dead, both the righteous and the wicked, end up at first in the same place, our hope of the resurrection means everything to us. As Paul had said, without this hope, even “also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished” (1 Corinthians 15:18, NKJV), which is a rather strange thing to say if those who “have fallen asleep in Christ” are buzzing about heaven in the presence of God.
Thus, Christ’s resurrection is central to our faith, because in His resurrection we have the surety of our own. But before Christ was resurrected from the dead, He, of course, had to die. This is why, amid the agony of Gethsemane, in anticipation of His death, He prayed: “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” (John 12:27, NKJV). And that purpose was to die.
This week we will focus on Christ’s death and what it means for the promise of eternal life.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, November 5.
Amen!

Adventists Aren’t Answering the Right Questions Anymore
by Admiral Ncube | 27 October 2022 A unique feature about Adventism has always been our eschatological view of the world and our nuanced understanding of the sin problem. Because we relate to the world through eschatological lenses, we have an inherent mistrust of ecumenism, and an indifference towards politics and social justice issues—unless, of […] Source: https://atoday.org/adventists-arent-answering-the-right-questions-anymore/
