Sabbath: Tried and Crucified
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 14th of September 2024

Read for This Week’s Study: Mark 15:1-47, Luke 13:1, Psalms 22:18, John 20:24-29, John 1:1-3, Daniel 9:24-27.
Memory Text:
“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which is translated, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’ ” (Mark 15:34, NKJV).
Mark 15:1-47 is the heart of the Passion Narrative. It presents the trial of Jesus, His condemnation, the mockery by the soldiers, His crucifixion, and then His death and burial. The events in this chapter are presented in stark, crisp detail, likely because the author let the facts speak for themselves.
Throughout this chapter, irony plays an important role. Because of this, it is helpful to have a clear definition of what irony is.
Irony often contains three components: (1) two levels of meaning, (2) the two levels are in conflict or contrast to each other, and (3) someone does not see the irony and does not recognize what is happening and does not know that he or she is the one who will suffer the consequences.
This week, from the question of Pilate, “ ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ ” to the mocking soldiers, the sign above the cross, and the mocking of the religious leaders, “ ‘He saved others; Himself He cannot save,’ ” to the unexpected appearance of Joseph of Arimathea, the chapter is filled with painful ironies that nevertheless reveal powerful truths about the death of Jesus and what it means.

He Had Vowed Revenge | AWR360° Story
It is often said that forgiveness is evidence of a changed heart. Jesus himself once said that God forgives us in the same way we forgive others. Because how can we believe God forgives us if we’re incapable of forgiving? Gilbert was a rebel soldier from the New People’s Army (NPA) deep in the jungles of Mindoro, Philippines. He had been taught to kill, and he did it well. Jimmy, on the other hand, was a soldier with the Philippine military, and he, too, had learned to fight, but against the NPA rebels. He was loyal to his duty and had a deep friendship with his commanding officer. One day, Gilbert and Jimmy’s lives collided with tragic consequences. As Jimmy and his commander patrolled the jungle, Gilbert was hiding in wait and shot the commander dead. Jimmy was inconsolable and vowed revenge against Gilbert. At about that time, Adventist World Radio began broadcasting on the island, and as radio waves are not respecters of persons, not only did Gilbert and the rebels begin listening, but Jimmy and other military soldiers did as well. You know the story of how the island was transformed, and how the lives of both rebel and military soldiers were changed. Gilbert and Jimmy were among those transformed by the gospel message. But what would happen when these two men met again? Would Jimmy be able to forgive? Watch this video for the rest of the story and be inspired. I love to see lives changed by God’s grace, and I especially love it when He uses Adventist World Radio to do it! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
