I am unimpressed by “John 3:16” unfurled from a fan’s seat along the front tier of a baseball stadium, or graffitied on a wall or stall. Yes, believing in Jesus is important. It’s a first step. But John 3:16, taken out of context and presented as the whole picture, means little. I don’t want to […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-to-be-not-merely-to-believe/
El pánico de género no es una novedad en Estados Unidos. Es algo que ya ocurrió en el pasado. Theodore Roosevelt, un hombre rico y pretencioso de Nueva York, tenía la misión de conseguir que los hombres estadounidenses fueran más varoniles, tal y como él los concebía. Roosevelt, de baja estatura y con problemas de […] Source: https://atoday.org/la-crisis-conservadora-por-la-hombria/

Daily Lesson for Sabbath 12th of October 2024

Memory Text:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
Week one dealt with the end of the book of John, which explained why he wrote his Gospel. This week’s lesson returns to the beginning of the Gospel, where John sets forth the direction that he, inspired by the Holy Spirit, intends to take the reader. In the first words and paragraphs of their writing, New Testament writers often present the themes that they intend to cover. So does John, whose themes are presented as part of a grand cosmic sweep that depicts overriding truths about Jesus Christ—truths that reach back to even before Creation.
This presentation, at the opening of the book, gives readers, who already know that Jesus is the Messiah, an advantage that the characters in the book itself did not have. The reader can clearly see the grand themes that the evangelist returns to as he tells the story of Jesus. These great themes are placed within the historical period of Jesus’ earthly life.
This week’s lesson will begin with the Prologue (John 1:1-18) and summarize its major themes. These themes will then be looked at in other places in John’s Gospel, as well.
