While the two covenants can be confusing for some of us, I really appreciate a couple of things last week’s Sabbath School lesson brought out, which I believe clears up any confusion.

While we are studying about Jesus’ priestly ministry in the sanctuary this quarter, the Tampa First Seventh-day Adventist Church, has asked me to do a seminar on the sanctuary, as a part of their Friday evening Zoom vespers service.

Our Redeemer thirsts for recognition. He hungers for the sympathy and love of those whom He has purchased with His own blood. –Ellen White, Desire of Ages, Page 190.

Jesus did not just ride off into the sunset after the resurrection. He is actively changing lives, healing and forgiving just … Continue reading –>
As we consider the resurrection of Moses in this week’s Sabbath school lesson, lets take a look at the resurrection in general. In John 14 Jesus knows the disciples are going to miss Him when He goes away so he comforts them. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come … Continue reading –>
For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
