Daily Lesson for Wednesday 24th of July 2024
Read Mark 4:21-23. What is Jesus’ special emphasis in the parable of the lamp?
Houses in that part of the world in Jesus’ day varied in size and construction, all depending on location and wealth. The houses came to follow a Greek pattern of being built around a courtyard but with varying levels of sophistication.

Or Jesus may be talking about smaller houses of peasants. Big house or small house, the issue is this principle: one day the truth about Jesus will be revealed.
Jesus asks two questions in Mark 4:21. The first one expects a negative answer—“The lamp is not brought to be placed under the basket or under the bed, is it?” The second question expects a positive answer—“It is brought to be placed on the lampstand, isn’t it?” Jesus presents an absurd, almost humorous scenario to make His point. Lamps are for giving light, or they lose their purpose. Mark 4:22 explains the parable by referencing the idea of secrets being made public. Anyone whose email or computer has been hacked understands the possibility of secrets being made public! But what Jesus is talking about is the gospel.
Read Mark 4:24-25. What lesson is Jesus conveying with the parable of the measuring basket?
In many locations in the world, fresh produce is sold in open markets. Sellers typically have a device for measuring the product they are selling. It is a common practice of such sellers to add just a bit more to a sale to help the buyer feel he or she is being treated fairly. Jesus picks up on how good sellers treat buyers to make a point about openness to the truth. If one is open and follows the light, he or she will get even more. But if he or she rejects the light, even what they had before will be taken away.

How can we better understand the principle that with what measure you use, it will be measured to you? Think about it in all your dealings with others. |

Evangelism was strong in Japan, and the church grew. However, a shift occurred as prosperity and luxury began to dominate, and now there are only 14,000 Adventists in this great land. Many wonder if evangelism still works. AWR360° sought to inspire them by inviting them to preach in the Philippines, hoping they could return to Japan and do the same. Thus, the call to preach went out, waiting for those who would answer

Japan, known as the land of the rising sun, is the second most populous island country in the world, with its 6,800 islands hosting over 126 million people. Its cities are a blend of technology, culture, and history. In the heart of Tokyo, a statue of Liberty stands as a symbol of the Japanese incorporation of American culture in the years following the war. This period saw many Japanese turn to Christianity. The 1950s were a ripe time for Jesus in Japan, and Adventist World Radio (AWR) began its first broadcasts in the country. With a focus on evangelism, the Japanese membership in the church was growing
