John has written what is possibly the most well-known Bible verse in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son” which has had many say Lord, I
Have Made Thy Word My Choice – Hymn 273 and 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. John writes of many people who turned to Jesus in this quarter’s studies. Here are two hymns from which to choose for your theme hymn this quarter.

 With the beautiful example, the “unbelievable act of humility” Jesus gave to his disciples, and to us in the Upper Room, we may sing of this in 
Hymn 397 – An Upper Room along with 
Hymn 401 – In Imitation, Lord Of Thee and 
Hymn 406 – Love Consecrated The Humblest Act. Sunday continues and shows that Jesus’ titles of Teacher and Lord express authority and power, which we find in 
Hymn 229 – All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name and 
Hymn 415 – Christ The Lord All Power Possessing

 Oh, what joy to know that Jesus stated categorically that He would certainly come again – Monday:
Hymn 200 – The Lord Is Coming,
Hymn 201 – Christ Is Coming,
Hymn 209 – That Glorious Day Is Coming,
Hymn 213 – Jesus Is Coming Again,
Hymn 375 – Work, For The Night Is Coming,
Hymn 438 – You Will See Your Lord A-coming, and
Hymn 454 – Don’t You See My Jesus Coming.

 We are to hold fast to the Truth (Wednesday): 
Hymn 203 – This Is The Threefold Truth. “Truth contains a moral aspect of faithfulness to God and to His Will” which we find in 
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful.

“Jesus and His disciples pointed to Scripture again and again” (Thursday) so we can sing clearly 
Hymn 272 – Give Me The Bible which will help us to see that 
Christ Is The World’s Light – Hymn 234.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless many others.

 To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

 Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Key Thought: John now transfers from signs and testimonies to the farewell sermon and the significance of washing the disciple’s feet. The glory of Christ is brought forth as the way, the truth, and the life.
December 7, 2024

1. Have a volunteer read John 13:11-20.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. What happened here and why is it so important? What lessons did Jesus seek to teach?
3. Personal Application: Have you ever not wanted to participate with someone in foot-washing because you were upset with them or didn’t want to have anything to do with them at that time?”
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “What’s so important about foot-washing? No other churches do it that I know of. We can humble ourselves without the inconvenience of washing someone’s feet. We don’t wear sandals and walk in the dirt anymore, so it’s not practical.” How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read John John 14:1-6.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What does the Cross teach us about the second coming?
3. Personal Application: How can we share with other religions about Jesus when they don’t understand they can’t get to heaven or have eternal life without accepting and following Jesus? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Why did Thomas ask where Jesus was going? Didn’t Jesus tell him before? How did Jesus respond? Why did Jesus tell Philip if he saw Jesus, he saw the Father? What does that mean?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read John 1:14,17. John 8:32, 15:26.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. Jesus said He was the life. Does anyone or anything have life without Jesus?
3. Personal Application: How can science be true without including God? How can anything be true if God is not included? How far can science go without an appreciation, acknowledgement, and inclusion of God in that science? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “There are many kinds of truth. There is scientific truth, religious truth, social truth, mathematical truth, and biological truth. So when Jesus said He was the truth, He was referring only to religious truth.” How would you respond to your neighbor?

4. Have a volunteer read John 5:38-40.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What is Jesus saying here about the Scriptures? Why did Jesus point to the word to show the importance and significance of His ministry?
3. Personal Application: How important is it when discussing truth that we use Scripture rather than men’s reasoning to make our position on the subject? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.
