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.

Faith Against All Odds raises our first hymn for Sabbath School:
Hymn 608 – Faith Is The Victory which is what the Reformers had so strongly, all because they all asked 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272.

We learn from our Bible 
O Word of God Incarnate – Hymn 274. There are many faithful workers named for us this week, who worked so faithfully to give us the Bible we know today and were willing to say 
Take My Life, And Let It Be – Hymn 330.

Martin Luther opened to us 
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109 and alerted us to 
A Mighty Fortress – Hymn 506 is our God. He also pointed us to not be looking at ourselves but “look to Jesus instead”: 
Hymn 507 – Moment By Moment.

Ellen White reminds us of 2 Kings 6:17 on Friday in the story of Elisha “Lord, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see”. Therefore, please Lord, 
Open My Eyes, That I May See – Hymn 326.

Daily Lesson for Monday 29th of April 2024

The apostle Paul faced overwhelming odds in his work of spreading the gospel; yet, he had the confidence that God’s Word would eventually triumph, “for,” as he said, “we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth” (2 Corinthians 13:8).

The Reformers faced similar trials; yet, by faith they remained faithful to God’s Word. An example of courage in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds is William Tyndale. Tyndale’s greatest desire was to give England an accurate, readable translation of the Bible. He determined to translate the Bible from the original languages and correct some of the errors in Wycliffe’s translation about 140 years before. Eventually Tyndale, too, was arrested and tried. Many of his Bible translations, which were printed in Worms, Germany, were seized and publicly burned. His trial took place in Belgium in a.d. 1536. He was condemned on the charge of heresy and sentenced to be burned. His executioners strangled him while they tied him to the stake and then burned his body. His dying words were spoken with zeal in a loud voice and were reported as, “Lord, open the king of England’s eyes.” God miraculously answered Tyndale’s prayer.

Within four years of his death, four English translations of the Bible were published. In 1611 the King James Version of the Bible was printed, and it was largely based on Tyndale’s work. The 54 scholars who produced the work drew heavily from Tyndale’s earlier English translation. One estimate suggests that the Old Testament of the 1611 King James Bible is 76 percent Tyndale’s translation, and the New Testament is 83 percent. In 2011 the King James Version of the Bible celebrated its 400th anniversary by passing the milestone of one billion Bibles in print. The King James Version has impacted tens of millions of people around the world. Tyndale’s sacrifice was well worth it.

No matter how difficult it seemed or how challenging the circumstances were, Tyndale and his Bible-believing colleagues trusted that God was working out everything according to His will. Tyndale’s life made a difference for eternity.
