Por Tyler Kraft | 12 de Febrero, 2022 | ¿Puedo contarte un secreto? Los pastores se enfadan a veces. Bueno, tal vez no todos los pastores. Tal vez haya algunos que estén completamente iluminados espiritualmente. Pero confieso que a veces me enfado. También lo hacen algunos de mis amigos pastores. Probablemente no sea demasiado sorprendente. […] Source: https://atoday.org/pido-a-dios-que-te-mueras/
Is African Adventism Still Under the Shadow of the Missionaries?
by Alvin Masarira | 10 February 2022 | About 20 years ago an American Adventist preacher came to my town to conduct an evangelistic series. As I was driving him to the guest house after our first meeting he asked me a question that has been ringing in my head all these years: “Why do […] Source: https://atoday.org/is-african-adventism-still-under-the-shadow-of-the-missionaries/
Sabbath: Jesus, The Mediator of the New Covenant
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Hebrews 7:11–19; Hebrews 8:10–12; Jeremiah 31:31–34; Hebrews 8:1–6; Exodus 24:1–8; Ezekiel 36:26-27.
Memory Text: “But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises” (Hebrews 8:6, ESV).
By living a perfect life, and then by dying in our place, Jesus mediated a new, better covenant between us and God. Through His death, Jesus canceled the penalty of death that our trespasses demanded and made possible the new covenant.
This truth is explained in Hebrews 10:5-10, which identifies Jesus as having manifested the perfect obedience required by the covenant. It references Psalm 40, referring to Messiah’s desire to render to God total obedience: “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart” (Psalm 40:7-8, ESV). “In the original context this phrase [‘to do your will’] described moral obedience to the will of God. The author of Hebrews uses the phrase to show that the sacrifice of Christ fulfilled the will of God in providing an acceptable atonement, which the animal sacrifices had not provided.” — The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 460.
For Paul, this psalm acquired special significance with the incarnation of Jesus. Jesus embodied the obedience of the new covenant. He is our example. We have been saved, not only because of His death but also because of His perfect obedience.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, February 19.
Amen!
