6: Jesus, the Faithful Priest – Singing With Inspiration Inbox
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.
Our elder Brother, Jesus, teaches us everything we need to know to be Christ-Like (Christian) and helps us to sing
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful. Sabbath afternoon study-time goes on to state the “amazing things the Father and the Son did to bridge that gulf”:
Hymn 108 – Amazing Grace and
Hymn 109 – Marvelous Grace. It is this wonderful grace given that we now see Jesus as our High Priest:
Hymn 177 – Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness,
Hymn 178 – The Unveiled Christ,
Hymn 179 – The Wonders of Redeeming Love, and
Hymn 180 – O Listen to Our Wondrous Story (the section our Hymnal on Priesthood).
We are so blessed as
Jesus Paid It All – Hymn 184 (Sunday and again on Wednesday), and from this we know
Jesus, What a Friend of Sinners – Hymn 187. At times we can
Go To Dark Gethsemane – Hymn 157 to see the wondrous love of Jesus, and what He has done for humanity. It is then that we can say to Jesus,
I Surrender All – Hymn 309.
On Wednesday we find that
Jesus Saves – Hymn 340 simply
Because He Lives – Hymn 526.
Our Sinless Priest (Thursday) is “exalted . . . above the heavens” (ESV) and our reaction it to
Crown Him With Many Crowns – Hymn 223. Thursday closes with reiterating that our Example encourages us to be Christ-Like (Christian).
Ellen White’s Desire of Ages quote on Friday had me singing from The Messiah by George F. Handel, number 12, For Unto Us a Child Is Born. You may have access to a group to sing this one to cap off a glorious week of study.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! –
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks. Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.

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.”
