Sabbath School - 2024 Q4 Lesson 10: The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Join It Is Written Sabbath School host Eric Flickinger and this quarter's co-author, Dr. Thomas R. Shepherd, as they provide additional insights into this week's Sabbath School lesson, "The Way, the Truth, and the Life."

Now, I am living new experiences with my family as expatriates, meeting people who have helped us and others whom we’ve been able to help. These are people who are not part of a church but treated us with compassion and opened their hearts. We’ve spent months living in the homes of strangers who have now become our friends. Though we don’t know what the near future holds, we trust in Jesus to guide us-He is our path, our strength, and our hope.

I am very happy to listen to how Dr. Thomas Shepherd unpack the function, goal of the Father, the Son n the Holy Spirit. Citing related verses, suddenly the closely intricate workings of each became clear. I never realized that it was the Holy Spirit who guided Mary to anoint Jesus with the expensive spinard. And Dr. Shepherd taught us how to find references of the Trinity working together, n that he found 40 passages that show the Trinity working together....

9:14 So the reason why we Christians do literally wash each other's feet is to show humility!? POWERFUL.

The little book, Steps to Christ, recommended by Pastor Thom Shepard is written by Ellen G.White and is available by search online at various sites. You will definitely be blessed by listening to it. It is also available at Adventist Book Centers and elsewhere.

The fact that the days start with evening is very interesting. So we start preparing for them early. I feel that this puts our focus on being ready. Genesis 1:31 ESV And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Too bad I cannot buy the companion book because I live in Indonesia.

Good evening my brother in christ...I know it was only male disciples in the present at the time when Jesus was washing there feet. Why do we as a church separate males from females when feet are washing

[@vueneonee7144]
