Daily Lesson for Wednesday 22nd of May 2024
Read Hebrews 4:14-16 and Hebrews 10:19-22. What assurance and divine invitation do these verses give to each one of us?
Paul’s point here in Hebrews is “hold fast,” “come boldly,” “never give up,” focus your faith on Jesus, our great High Priest. In Jesus, we have all we need. By faith we may enter the heavenly sanctuary through the “new and living way” that Jesus has opened for us.

Looking into the court, we see blood on the horns of the brazen altar. In the Holy Place, we see blood on the golden horns of the altar of incense. We behold the sprinkled blood on the curtain before the mercy seat.
Jesus’ blood prepares the way at every step. This gives us hope since we can have reunion with God only if Jesus pardons us and blots out our sins. The mercy of God is infinite, but so is His justice. And justice cannot accept Christ’s sacrifice as atonement for our transgressions unless Jesus guarantees first to forgive our sins and second to blot them out.
Read Revelation 11:19. In the context of the great controversy, why is this vision significant? How does it show the inseparable link between the law and the gospel?
Here in the dazzling brightness and blazing glory of the presence of God, in the throne room of the universe, at the very base of God’s throne, we discover the law of God in the ark of the covenant. Here in the Most Holy Place, God’s justice and mercy are revealed. No earthly power can change God’s law because, among other reasons, it is enshrined in the ark of the covenant in heaven. Hebrews 8:10 says: “ ‘For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people’ ” (NKJV). Entering by faith into heaven’s sanctuary, we find pardon for our past sins and power to live an obedient life through Christ, who died for us and writes the law in our hearts. Jesus saves us to the “uttermost” (Hebrews 7:25). Jesus saves us totally and completely—from the penalty of sin and from its power.
Why is Jesus’ intercession such incredibly good news? As we stand before the law as the standard of righteousness, what hope would we have without the gospel?

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The General Conference headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church has announced plans to hold a special session to vote on the official dress code for heaven. “After much prayer and deliberation, we have concluded that the celestial realms require our guidance,” said a spokesperson for the GC. “Given our earthly authority, […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-gc-to-vote-on-dress-code-for-heaven/
Our learning this quarter will show us that
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 so that we will Lift Up The Trumpet because
Jesus Is Coming Again – Hymn 213. You may have two hymns from which to choose for your theme hymn this quarter.
We find God’s own sacrifice (Sunday) is completed in 
Hymn 157 – Go To Dark Gethsemane especially in verse 3.
What A Wonderful Saviour – Hymn 335 we have for our Day of Atonement when all sins are sent away on the scapegoat (Monday).
In Hymn 416 – The Judgement Is Set there are questions that are well answered on Tuesday. Oh, yes, Praise The Lord, there will be the
Day of Judgement, Day of Wonders! – Hymn 418.
There is wonderful assurance on Wednesday as there is
Power In The Blood – Hymn 294, all because J
esus Saves – Hymn 340.
Thursday wonderfully reminds again that there will be a
Day of Judgement, Day of Wonders! – Hymn 418 with Friday finalizing everything for our human race in that we will be
Whiter Than Snow – Hymn 318.
May we 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.”
