Friday: Further Thought – The Ministry Begins

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 7, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonApril 9, 2016avatar
bible book scroll

An evangelist came to town and advertised his meeting like this: “Come see a preacher tear a page out of the Bible!” That, no doubt, brought a crowd. He then stood before them, opened his Bible, and—to their astonishment—tore out a page. “This page,” he said, “never belonged there. It’s the page separating the Old … Continue reading –>

The Ministry Begins – Hit the Mark

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 6, 2016 by Curtis HallApril 7, 2016avatar
Jesus summons the fisherman to follow Him.

If one didn’t know better they might think that Jesus could have benefited from a savvy P.R. marketing manager. We know that first impressions are lasting, and it is imperative for any public figure to get their debut right. The society in which Jesus began his ministry was very religious. At the top of the … Continue reading –>

Thursday: The Call of the Fishermen

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 6, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonApril 12, 2016avatar
Simon Peter the Fisherman

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17, NKJV). Just like John, Jesus began His ministry with a call to repentance. He knew, as did John, the fallen state of humanity and the need for all people to repent and come to a knowledge of God. Thus, it’s not surprising that His … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: The Land of Zebulun and Naphtali

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 5, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 21, 2018avatar
The Teacher

Matthew 4:12 tells about the imprisonment of John, thus ending his ministry. At this point, Jesus’ ministry “officially” begins. The text doesn’t say why, when Jesus heard about John, He went to Galilee, only that He did. (See also Mark 1:14-16 and Luke 4:14.)Perhaps, while John was still preaching, Jesus wanted to keep a lower … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: The Temptation

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 4, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonApril 14, 2016avatar
Third Temptation

Read Matthew 4:1-12. What happened here with these temptations? Why did Jesus have to go through this? What does this story have to do with salvation? How did Jesus endure such powerful temptations under such hard conditions, and what should that tell us about enduring temptations? Matthew 4:1 starts out with what seems like a … Continue reading –>

Monday: The Contrast in the Wilderness

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 3, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonApril 10, 2016avatar
Christ in the Wilderness

“Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil” (Matt. 4:1, NKJV). Imagine this scene from the perspective of Satan himself. The divine, exalted Being whom he knew as the Son of God had now lowered Himself—had taken on human flesh—in order to save the human race. This was … Continue reading –>

Sunday: John the Baptist and “Present Truth”

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 2, 2016 by Sabbath School LessonApril 12, 2016avatar

Matthew 3 begins with John the Baptist, whose first recorded word in the text is an imperative—“Repent!” (Matt. 3:2). In one way, that’s a summary of what God has been saying to humanity since the Fall: Repent, accept My forgiveness, put away your sins, and you will find Redemption and rest for your souls. And … Continue reading –>
