11: New Covenant Sanctuary – Teaching Plan

June 7, 2021 By admin

Key Thought: The New Covenant has Jesus as our perfect sacrifice. He represents us before the Father in the Heavenly Sanctuary which is the basis of the New Covenant.
June 12, 2021

1. Have a volunteer read Leviticus 26:11,12; Exodus 25:8.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
  2. Why did God command Israel to build the sanctuary? What reason does He give for doing this?
  3. Personal Application: How does the sanctuary help us to be accepted and not abhorred by God? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Why does God say that if they build a tabernacle that He won’t abhor them? What is it about the sanctuary that allows sinful, fallen people to be accepted by the Lord?” How would you respond to your friend?

2. Have a volunteer read Galatians 1:4, Hebrews 9:14.

  1. a. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What does it mean that He delivers us from this present, evil world? Is that present tensed or future?
  3. Personal Application: Did Jesus volunteer to die? Who did He die for? What would His death accomplish? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “What role does blood play in the plan of salvation? Someone told me God is not bloodthirsty and it wasn’t necessary for Jesus to give God His bloodthirsty requirement because God is love. I’m confused.” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read Hebrews 8:1-6.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
  2. Why is it easier to question God’s will than to go blindly where God leads?
  3. Personal Application: When you think of Jesus our Mediator and Minister and Defense Attorney, what does it tell you about how God looks at us? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your relatives states: “When Jesus went to heaven, He became our High Priest and established a new priesthood. So why do we have priests today offering incense and offerings today in the church?“ How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read Hebrews 9:24; I Timothy 2:5,6.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
  2. What two roles does Jesus portray here? How are they related together?
  3. Personal Application: What does Jesus being in the Heavenly Sanctuary have to do with our practical life ?” Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).

Amen!(0)

Monday: Sin, Sacrifice and Acceptance

June 6, 2021 By admin

Hebrews 9:22

The divinely appointed way for the Old Testament sinner to rid himself of sin and guilt was through animal sacrifices. The Israelite sacrificial offerings are detailed in Leviticus 1 through 7. Careful attention was paid to the use and disposal of the blood in the various kinds of sacrifices. Indeed, the role of blood in sacrificial rituals is one of the unifying features in the Israelite sacrifices.

The person who had sinned — and thus had broken the covenant relationship and the law that regulated it — could be restored to full fellowship with God and humanity by bringing an animal sacrifice as a substitute. Sacrifices, with their rites, were the God-appointed means to bring about cleansing from sin and guilt. They were instituted to cleanse the sinner, transferring individual sin and guilt to the sanctuary by sprinkling blood and reinstituting communion and full covenantal fellowship of the penitent with the personal God who is the saving Lord.

How do these concepts, expressed above, help us understand the questions at the end of yesterday’s study?
What prophetic significance was there in the animal sacrifice? (Isaiah 53:4-12, Hebrews 10:4).

The Old Testament animal sacrifices were the divinely ordained means for ridding the sinner of sin and guilt. They changed the sinner’s status from that of guilty and worthy of death to that of forgiven and reestablished in the covenantal God-human relationship. But there was a sense in which the animal sacrifices were prophetic in nature. No animal, after all, was an adequate substitute in atoning for humanity’s sin and guilt. Paul states it in his own language: “It is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4, RSV). Thus, an animal sacrifice was meant to be a looking forward to the coming of the divine-human Servant of God, who would die a substitutionary death for the sins of the world. It is through this process that the sinner is forgiven and accepted by the Lord, and the basis of the covenant relationship is established.

Put yourself in the position of someone who lived in Old Testament times, when they sacrificed animals at the sanctuary. Remembering, too, just how important livestock was to their economy, culture, and whole way of life, what lesson were these sacrifices supposed to teach them about the cost of sin?

11: The New Covenant Sanctuary – Singing with Inspiration

June 6, 2021 By admin

This quarter “The Week at a Glance” shows God’s covenant is spoken of mostly. God has made his promises (covenant) with many people in the Bible, and continues to give us promises for today, hence for a theme hymn I find that I wish to keep standing on the Promises that God has given to us all –
Hymn 518 – Standing on the Promises as 
My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less – Hymn 522.

For our Sabbath afternoon introduction to our week of study, 
Hymn 347 – Built on the Rock shows in verse 2 the temple (sanctuary) that is in Heaven. 
Hymn 62 – How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place goes on to tell of how we all thirst for “Thy courts” in Heaven.

Monday gives us the treasure of being able to “be restored to full fellowship with God”. We find restoration in 
Hymn 4 – Praise My Soul the King of Heaven (verse 1), 
Hymn 191 – Love Divine (verse 4), 
Hymn 264 – O for That Flame of Living Fire (verse 5), 
Hymn 402 – By Christ Redeemed (verse 1) and 
Hymn 546/552 – The Lord’s My Shepherd (verse 2).  

Hebrews 10:4 “It is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins” shows us on Tuesday that the blood our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is the only way we are cleansed. Our hymnal is packed with hymns that enlighten our minds on this topic:

Hymn 109 – Marvelous Grace,
Hymn 114 – There’s a Wideness (verse 2),
Hymn 153 – Prince of Peace Control My Will (verse 2),
Hymn 154/155 – When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,
Hymn 164 – There Is a Green Hill Far Away,
Hymn 167 – Alleluia Sing to Jesus,
Hymn 177 – Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness,
Hymn 179 – The Wonders of Redeeming Love,
Hymn 184 – Jesus Paid It All,
Hymn 198 – And Can It Be?
Hymn 244 – My Song Shall Be of Jesus,
Hymn 248, 250, 252, 279, 280, 281, 282, then
Hymn 294 – Power in the Blood followed by
Hymn 295, 296, 298, 300, 301, and
Hymn 302 – Deeper Yet, and more hymns
Hymn 313 – Just as I Am,
Hymn 318 – Whiter Than Snow,
Hymn 334, 335, 336, 337/338. All of these hymns listed above are only the tip of the iceberg with many more in our hymnal.

To finalize our singing of this precious blood, we may wish to sing 
Hymn 341 – To God Be the Glory.

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 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.”

Amen!(1)

Sunday: Relationships

June 5, 2021 By admin

“And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people” (Leviticus 26:11-12).

One point should be clear by now: whether in the old covenant, or new covenant, the Lord seeks a close, loving relationship with His people. In fact, the covenants basically help form (for lack of a better word) the “rules” for that relationship.

Jesus in Sanctuary

Relationship is crucial to the covenant, in whatever time or context. Yet for a relationship to exist, there needs to be interaction, communication, and contact, particularly for sinful, fallible, doubting humans. The Lord, of course, knowing this, took the initiative to be sure that He would manifest Himself to us in ways so that we — within the confines of fallen humanity — could relate to Him in a meaningful way.

Read Exodus 25:8, the Lord’s command to Israel to build a sanctuary. What reasons does the Lord give for wanting them to do this?

The answer to this question, of course, brings up another question, and that is Why? Why does the Lord want to dwell the in the midst of His people?

The truth, perhaps, could be found in the two verses for today, listed above. Notice, the Lord will “tabernacle” (or “dwell”) among them; He then says that He will not “abhor” them. He then says that He will “walk” among them and will be their God, and they will be His people (Leviticus 26:11-12). Look at the elements found in these texts. Again, the relational aspect comes through very clearly.

Take a few minutes: analyze Leviticus 26:11-12 and Exodus 25:8. Write down how the various elements all fit in with the notion that the Lord seeks a relationship with His people.
Focus specifically on the words “my soul shall not abhor you.” What is it about the sanctuary itself that provides the means by which fallen, sinful people can be accepted by the Lord, and why is that so important for the process of forming a covenant?

Sabbath: New Covenant Sanctuary

June 4, 2021 By admin

Jesus on Cross and Lamb

Image © Pacific Press

Read for This Week’s Study: Exodus 25:8; Isaiah 53:4-12; Hebrews 10:4; Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 8:1-6; 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
Memory Verse: “Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance” (Hebrews 9:15, RSV).

A moonless evening, the sky black like spilled ink, all covered Frank in shadow as he walked the empty urban streets. After a while he heard footsteps behind him, someone following in the darkness. Then the person caught up with him and said, “Frank, the printer?”

“Yes, I am he. But how did you know?”

“Well,” answered the stranger, “I don’t know you. But I know your brother very well, and even in the darkness your mannerisms, your way of walking, your figure all reminded me so much of him I just assumed that you were his brother, because he told me that he had one.”

This story reveals a powerful truth regarding the Israelite sanctuary service. It was, the Bible says, a shadow, a figure, an image of the real. Nevertheless, there was enough in the shadows and images to clearly foreshadow and reveal the truths they were supposed to represent: the death, and high-priestly ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.

The Week at a Glance: Why did God want the Israelites to build a sanctuary? What does the sanctuary teach us about Christ as our Substitute? What does Jesus do in heaven as our Representative?

Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 12.
