Sabbath: Surprised by Grace
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 4th of October 2025

Read for This Week’s Study: Joshua 2:1-21, Numbers 14:1-12, Hebrews 11:31, Exodus 12:13, Joshua 9:1-27, Nehemiah 7:25.
Memory Text: “By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace” (Hebrews 11:31, NKJV).
Why did I do this again?” Perhaps we all have uttered these words. After all, not only history repeats itself but so does humanity in general and we ourselves in particular. How often we repeat the same mistakes!
Israel has a second chance of entering the Promised Land, and Joshua takes this mission seriously. The first step is to have a clear understanding of what Joshua and the Israelites face. Joshua sends out two spies to bring him valuable information about the land: its defense system, military preparedness, water supplies, and the attitude of the population in the face of an invading force.
One would think that God’s promise of giving the land to the Israelites did not require any effort from them. Yet, the assurance of divine support does not override human responsibility. Israel stands at the border of Canaan for a second time. Expectations run high, but the last time Israel was at the border and had the same task, it resulted in an abysmal failure.
This week, we will explore two of the most fascinating stories of the book of Joshua and discover their relevance to our faith today. God’s grace has infinite possibilities to surprise us.

(0)The Sabbath: A Call to Draw Near to God
The Sabbath is not just a command—it is a divine invitation to spend time with Jesus. James 4:8 reminds you, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” At the heart of Sabbath keeping is a longing to be close to your Savior, trusting Him to meet your needs and renew your heart. This special day is God’s gift of fellowship, rest and joy in His presence. What are the blessings that come from drawing closer to Christ each Sabbath?
