Friday: Further Thought – Understanding Sacrifice

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 8, 2025 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
Spectacles on Bible

Daily Lesson for Friday 9th of May 2025 Further Thought: The Scriptures make it clear that Christ is the only One worthy to secure our salvation. His life was the only sinless human life, the only example of a life that rendered perfect satisfaction to the glory of the Father. He is the spotless Lamb … Continue reading –>

Thursday: For You Created All Things!

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 7, 2025 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
God's Throne

Daily Lesson for Thursday 8th of May 2025 On a handful of occasions, prophets have been brought close enough to God in vision that they were permitted to see God’s throne. Ezekiel saw it above the firmament (Ezekiel 1:26); Isaiah visited the temple in heaven to see it (Isaiah 6:1); and in one of the … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: The Passover Lamb

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 5, 2025 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
Jesus Visits the Temple

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 6th of May 2025 The book of Revelation refers to Jesus as “the Lamb” nearly 30 times. From the earliest days in the plan of redemption, God’s people have used lambs as a symbol of the coming Messiah. Abel offered “the firstborn of his flock” (Genesis 4:4, NKJV), and before the … Continue reading –>

Monday: The Blood of Bulls and Goats

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 4, 2025 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
The Veil Was Torn

Daily Lesson for Monday 5th of May 2025 Some have criticized the entire concept of sacrifice, claiming that it is cruel, harsh, and, in a sense, unfair. Yet, that’s precisely the point. Christ’s death was cruel, harsh, and unfair—the innocent dying for the guilty. That’s what it took to solve the sin problem. And Christ’s … Continue reading –>

He Died For Me!

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 30, 2022 by William EarnhardtSeptember 5, 2026avatar

While I was in Cradle Roll Sabbath School, before I could even read, I was mesmerized by a picture in my Bible of Jesus dying on the cross. I would study it in church as the preacher preached. As I took in the entire scene, one thought kept reverberating in my heart:  Jesus died for … Continue reading –>

Monday: The Two Offerings

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 10, 2022 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
Abel is Dead

The contrast between Cain and Abel, as reflected in their names, did not just concern their personalities; it was also manifested in their respective occupations. While Cain was “a tiller of the ground” (Genesis 4:2, NKJV), a profession requiring physical hard work, Abel was “a keeper of sheep” (Genesis 4:2, NKJV), a profession implying sensitivity and compassion. … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: The Cross and the Cost of Forgiveness

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 22, 2022 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
The Cross in Brown with Yellow Background

Read Hebrews 9:22-28. What does this passage say about the work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary? The idea that the heavenly sanctuary needs cleansing makes sense in the context of the Old Testament sanctuary. The sanctuary is a symbol of God’s government (1 Samuel 4:4, 2 Samuel 6:2), and the way God deals with the sin of … Continue reading –>

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 21, 2022 by Inge AndersonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
The Sacrifice on the Cross

In Paul’s time, the Greeks saw the whole story of a Savior dying on a cross as “foolishness.” (See. 1 Cor. 1:23) And things haven’t changed much over the centuries. Others have turned the cross into church decorations, necklaces and bracelet trinkets, wholly ignoring the terrible instrument of death that the cross represents. Still others … Continue reading –>

Monday: Ritual and Sacrifices

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 5, 2021 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 5, 2026avatar
Crown of Gold Splashing From Blood

The Old Testament system of ritual and sacrifices, such as found in Leviticus, offers more examples of what we saw yesterday — Old Testament symbols pointing to New Testament truths. Though modern readers of the Bible often pass over these rituals, they do contain many important spiritual truths that can be of great value to … Continue reading –>

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
