13: Let Brotherly Love Continue – Singing With Inspiration
The titles of the thirteen Sabbaths of study this quarter give us two hymns to use as the themes:
Hymn 593 – In Times Like These and Hymn 177 – Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness.
This quarter has rushed on by into eternity-past and we have learned about the many
Wonderful Words of Life – Hymn 286. These words can strengthen us to “let brotherly love continue” so
Rise Up O Church of God – Hymn 615 and put into practice that which we have learned this quarter from the book of Hebrews. We have a love to share just as God shows us His love in
Hymn 76 – O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,
Hymn 77 – O Love of God Most Full,
Hymn 78 – For God So Loved Us,
Hymn 162 – O Love How Deep How Broad and
Hymn 179 – The Wonders of Redeeming Love along with so many more hymns in our SDA Church Hymnal.
Just as
God Will Take Care of You – Hymn 99, so we are to care for God’s People (Sunday).
“Hebrews 13:7-17 contains an exhortation to respect and obey the leaders of the congregation”, just as much as
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey reminds us to respect and obey our awesome God in Heaven. The day’s stud continues showing Jesus is our Shepherd, and so are the leaders of our church. We have many hymns about our Shepherd, Jesus:
Hymn 55 – Jesus Tender Shepherd Hear Me,
Hymn 192 – O Shepherd Divine,
Hymn 197 – The King of Love My Shepherd Is,
Hymn 361 – Hark! ‘Tis the Shepherd’s Voice I Hear,
Hymn 545 – Saviour, Like a Shepherd,
Hymn 546/552 – The Lord’s My Shepherd,
Hymn 549 – Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep and
Hymn 555 – Shepherd of Tender Youth.
Because of may false, diverse and strange teachings (Wednesday) the best hymn about this is
Hymn 272 – Give Me the Bible.
Thursday speaks of the shame Jesus born in my place:
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True! (verse 3),
Hymn 148 – O Love How Deep How Broad (verse 3),
Hymn 156 – O Sacred Head Now Wounded (verse 1),
Hymn 157 – Go to Dark Gethsemane (verse 2),
Hymn 159 – The Old Rugged Cross to name just a few.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! –
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks. Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.
