Friday: Further Thought – Epilogue: Knowing Jesus and His Word

By

Daily Lesson for Friday 27th of December 2024

God’s perspective is vastly different from that of humans.

Spectacles on Bible

God shares His perspective with us through His Word, the Bible, under the power of the Holy Spirit. It is our choice whether we wish to walk in darkness or accept the light coming from Jesus Christ as revealed in the Word.

Integral to this choice is our own personal surrender to Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Redeemer of humanity. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God the Father has revealed to us—in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—the depth of His love. And we know about Jesus because His life, death, and resurrection have been recorded in the Word of God.

“The angels of God are ever passing from earth to heaven, and from heaven to earth. The miracles of Christ for the afflicted and suffering were wrought by the power of God through the ministration of the angels. And it is through Christ, by the ministration of His heavenly messengers, that every blessing comes from God to us. In taking upon Himself humanity, our Saviour unites His interests with those of the fallen sons and daughters of Adam, while through His divinity He grasps the throne of God. And thus Christ is the medium of com­munication of men with God, and of God with men.”—Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 143.

Discussion Questions

  1. Of all the stories in the book of John, which one speaks the loudest to you about the love and character of God? Share with your class why you find that story so compelling.
  2. In practical terms, how should one go about the search for truth?
  3. Why is it usually difficult to lay aside self as the arbiter of truth? Can we ever fully do it, or will our humanity, to some degree, still impact how we view the Scriptures? Why must we recognize this fact, and how does humility come in to help us surrender our prejudices to the Word of God?
  4. The history of Western Christianity is filled with horrific examples of what happens when the Word of God is made subject to the politics and prejudices of humans. What are some of those examples, and what lesson can we learn from them today about just how dangerous it is when human perspectives become the dominant filter to “interpret” the Bible?
  5. Summarize in your own words the big picture of the Gospel of John. What is its central message for us today?

A Year of Miracles

By



Another year is coming to a close, and if I had to define 2024, I would say it was the year of miracles. One of the greatest was Papua New Guinea for Christ! I’ve shared many of the stories from Papua New Guinea, and how God intervened to change lives. More than 330,000 people were baptized, and we’ve just learned that another 300,000 are currently enrolled in baptismal classes and preparing for baptism! Here is a special video we prepared where we highlight several of the miracle stories from this historic event. From restored health and eyesight in our medical health clinic, to the miracles of divine intervention and changed hearts, this short video shares a panoramic view of this amazing event. As we celebrate Christmas and a New Year, I can’t think of a better way to express our gratitude for Heaven’s gift of salvation than by sharing the gospel message with others. God gave His only Son to the human race—to save the people of PNG, to save every nation, kindred, tongue and people, and to save you and me. May that same spirit of love and generosity fill your heart during this Christmas season and in the coming year. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey

Dejando de ver el paisaje por el Árbol de Navidad

By

En la iglesia de mis abuelos, hay una persona que se niega a entrar en la iglesia durante todo el mes de diciembre. ¿Por qué? Porque la plataforma tiene un árbol de Navidad. Por un tiempo trabajé como moderadora de la cuenta de Instagram de la Asociación General. En cierta ocasión sugerí hacer un villancico […] Source: https://atoday.org/dejando-de-ver-el-paisaje-por-el-arbol-de-navidad/
