A wounded can not heal itself After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down from time to time at the pool and stirred up the water; and whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. And there was a man who for thirty-eight years he was sick. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been a long time, he said: Wilt thou be made whole? Sir, the invalid replied, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am going another steps down before me. Jesus said unto him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk. And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. John 5: 1-9 It is difficult for an i

Un herido no puede curarse solo Después de estas cosas había una fiesta de los judíos, y subió Jesús a Jerusalén. Y hay en Jerusalén, cerca de la puerta de las ovejas, un estanque, llamado en hebreo Betesda, el cual tiene cinco pórticos. En éstos yacía una multitud de enfermos, ciegos, cojos y paralíticos, que esperaban el movimiento del agua. Porque un ángel descendía de tiempo en tiempo al estanque, y agitaba el agua; y el que primero descendía al estanque después del movimiento del agua, quedaba sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviese. Y había allí un hombre que hacía treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo. Cuando Jesús lo vio acostado, y supo que llevaba ya mucho tiempo así, le dijo: ¿Quieres ser sano? Señor, le respondió el enfermo, no tengo quien me meta en el estanque cuando se agita el agua; y entre tanto que yo voy, otro desciende antes que yo. Jesús le dijo: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda. Y al instante aquel hombre fue sanado, y tomó su lecho, y anduvo. Y era día

Friday August 12 Further Thought:  Read Ellen G. White, “Our Example,”  pp. 17-28, in  The Ministry of Healing ; “ 'One Thing Thou Lackest,’ ”  pp. 518-523, in  The Desire of Ages ; “A Social Life,”  pp. 186-188, 190-192, 194-196, in My Life Today . “In order to reach all classes, we must meet them where they are; for they will seldom seek us of their own accord. Not alone from the pulpit are the hearts of men and women touched by divine truth. Christ awakened their interest by going among them as one who desired their good. He sought them at their daily avocations and manifested an unfeigned interest in their temporal affairs.” - Ellen G. White,  My Life Today , p. 186 . How true that many people today, for various reasons, will “seldom seek us of their own accord.” Just as Jesus came down and reached us where we are, we need to do the same for others. On one level, this shouldn’t be so hard. There are so many people out there with so many needs. The world is a hurt and broke

Thursday August 11 The Other-centered Church “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus”  ( Phil. 2:3-5, NIV ) .  In  what ways should the principles expressed here rule our lives and impact how we relate, not just to church members, but to our community? When He was on earth, Jesus wasn’t thinking about Himself. His agenda was about desiring the good of others. Much of His ministry consisted of responding to interruptions, such as when Jairus interrupted Him with a request to rush to his house to heal his dying daughter. This interruption was then interrupted by a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years.  (Read  Mark 5:21-43 .) Christ’s church is His heart and hands on earth. Jesus loved people more than anything else, and a church that is truly His will do

Wednesday August 10 The Second Touch Read   Mark 8:22-25 . What spiritual lesson can we learn from the fact that Jesus’ first healing touch didn’t fully heal the blind man? After Jesus “spat” on the man’s eyes, He touched him and asked, “ 'Do you see anything?’ ” ( Mark 8:23, NIV ) . Why did Jesus “spit” on his eyes? Ancient literature indicates examples of the use of saliva by physicians. This miracle resembles somewhat the healing of the deaf and mute man in Decapolis not long before that. (Read  Mark 7:31-37 .)  However, unlike all His other recorded healing miracles, the cure for the blind man was performed in two stages. Reread   Mark 8:23-24 . How do you understand the man’s answer to the question “ 'Do you see anything?’ ” “ 'I see people; they look like trees walking around’ ”  ( Mark 8:24, NIV ) . That is, he could distinguish them from trees only by their motion. In a spiritual sense, how could we apply this incident to our own lives? It might be that

Tuesday August 9 Love Never Fails According to Jesus, the two greatest commandments are love to God and love to neighbor  ( Luke 10:27-28 ) . He also showed us who our neighbors are  ( Luke 10:29-37 ) . No question, too, that Jesus’ life, from beginning to end, was an expression of the pure love of God, who Himself is love  ( 1 John 4:16 ) . Thus, if we are to reflect the character of God, if we are to help reveal to others the reality of God and what He is like, we are to love. Think about it another way. One of the greatest “excuses” that people have used to reject Jesus and Christianity as a whole has been professed Christians themselves. What  are some examples you can find in history, or even today, of how “Christians,” or at least people bearing the name “Christian,” have done some terrible deeds, sometimes even in the name of Jesus? Does not even the book of Daniel  (see  Dan. 7:24-25  or  Rom. 2:24 )  warn about this? It’s no wonder that many people, through the ag

Monday August 8 The “Anyway” Principle A leper approaches Jesus and begs for healing. Conventional wisdom says that this man should be isolated. Jesus, the clean One, touches him and heals him  anyway  ( Matt. 8:1-4 ) . Peter denies Jesus three times during His trial  ( John 18:1-40 ) . After the resurrection, having searched Peter’s heart, Jesus reinstates him into His service anyway  ( John 21:1-25 ) . God’s church in Corinth is unappreciative of Paul’s authority and influence. Paul serves them  anyway  ( 2 Cor. 12:14-15 ) . This principle of “anyway” or “in spite of” is essential for revealing the character of the One who desires their good. “Millions upon millions of human souls ready to perish, bound in chains of ignorance and sin, have never so much as heard of Christ’s love for them. Were our condition and theirs to be reversed, what would we desire them to do for us? All this, so far as lies in our power, we are under the most solemn obligation to do for them. Christ’s

Sunday August 7 Jonah in Nineveh Read   Jonah 3:4-4:6 . What serious attitude problem does this prophet have? In  Jonah 4:1-11 , the prophet Jonah sits down east of the great city of Nineveh. He has delivered the message of doom that God has entrusted to him. He reflects on his journey, his reluctance to come to Nineveh, his runaway tactics, God’s insistence in getting Jonah back on mission, the three-day episode in the fish, and the long journey inland from the coast. And for what?  For God to turn around and show His grace on these despicable people?  The people repented, but Jonah now feels betrayed. He feels dishonored and used. His hope had been that the destruction of this heathen city of 120,000 inhabitants would show God’s preference for His chosen people and vindicate Jonah’s hatred for the Ninevites. Read   Luke 19:38-42 . What is happening here, and what is Jesus’ attitude toward the city of Jerusalem? Eight hundred years after Jonah, Jesus rides on a donkey ov

Lesson 7 * August 6-12 Jesus Desired Their Good Sabbath Afternoon Read  for This Week’s Study:  Jon. 3:4-4:6 , Luke 19:38-42 ,  Matt. 5:43-47 ,  1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ,  Mark 8:22-25 ,  Phil. 2:3-5 ,  James 2:14-17 . Memory Text:  “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!”  ( Matthew 23:37 ) . On Sabbath morning, during Sabbath School and worship service, skateboarders can often be seen rolling past the main doors of a local Seventh-day Adventist church. Why? Because this church meets in a community youth center facility right next to a skateboard park. And if you thought these skateboarders were an unexpected annoyance, think again. Instead, in an effort to curb the rising youth crime rate, the government in their city built the park to provide a place for its youth to engage in wholesom

Friday August 5 Further Thought:  Read Ellen G. White, “Our Example,”  pp. 17-28, in  The Ministry of Healing ; “Levi-Matthew,” pp. 272-280, in  The Desire of Ages . The church’s mission is to the world, not only unto itself. It was organized for service to others. A church of another faith community has a sign at the end of the driveway, just before the driveway enters the road into the community in front of the church. The sign says: “Servant’s Entrance.” That says it all, doesn’t it? Jesus was a great mingler, and Ellen White indicates that so must be God’s church today. The members are salt and must permeate the community. “There is no call here to hibernate in the wilderness evangelizing jack rabbits. Here is an awesome invitation given by the prophet of the Lord to mingle, like Jesus, with the unlovely, the poor, and the lost. Jesus was friends with sinners. He attended their parties-met them where they were. Jesus never compromised His faith, but He loved to go where th

Thursday August 4 In the Midst of a Crooked Generation No question, the world needs what we have been given in Christ. It’s nothing in us, ourselves, that makes what we have so important. Rather, it is only by virtue of what we have received from Christ that gives us our imperative to reach others. And it’s precisely because we have been given so much that we are called to reach out to those who don’t have it. “ 'Freely you have received, freely give’ ”  ( Matt. 10:8, NKJV ) . Read   Philippians 2:13-15 . What are we being told here, and how does it fit in with our calling to reach out to others without falling away ourselves? We have to be careful about so seeking to protect ourselves from the world that we never come in contact with the souls in it. It’s very easy to stay in our own spiritual and theological comfort zone and to become spiritual introverts. Such introversion can turn into self-centered religion. How often do local churches, for instance, spend more energ

Wednesday August 3 Mingling Wisely A speaker asked a group to tell how many “non-Adventist friends” they had. One man in the back of the room stood up and triumphantly proclaimed, “I’m proud to say none!” That man might have meant well, but his words said a lot about what kind of light to the world he was. As we saw already,  Matthew 5:13  says we are the salt of the earth, but this salt can lose its savor. A merchant in Sidon had stored much salt in sheds with a bare earth floor. Because the salt was in direct contact with the earth, it lost its savor. This salt was thrown out and used to pave roads. In the same way, we need to be careful as we mingle with the world: Are we letting the world rob us of our unique savor? Are our values the same as the world’s? What  can we learn from these stories about how not to mingle with the world?  Gen. 13:5-13 ,  19:12-26 ,  Num. 25:1-3 ; see also  1 John 2:16 . These biblical examples illustrate the need for caution in mingling with

Tuesday August 2 Eating With Sinners Read   Matthew 9:10-13 . What crucial message should we as individuals take away from Jesus’ response to His critics?  Read Hos. 6:6 . Jesus is reclining at the dinner table, where He is fellowshiping and eating with what this society would deem “undesirables.” What  kind of people does your culture deem “undesirables”? Interrupted by the Pharisees’ question of the appropriateness of Jesus’ mingling with such despicable people, Jesus challenges them to learn the meaning of mercy in contrast to sacrifice. “ 'But go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance’ ”  ( Matt. 9:13, NKJV ) . How sad that Jesus has to tell religious leaders to learn one of the most crucial truths of their own faith. Here again we are seeing the same problem that we saw occurring in Old Testament times, that of religious forms and ceremonies becoming more important in th

Monday August 1 Lost and Found Jesus tells three parables in  Luke 15:1-32 , in direct response to the accusation of the Pharisees and teachers of the law that Jesus “welcomes sinners and eats with them”  ( Luke 15:2, NIV ) . Read  the following passages and note the essence of Jesus’ answer to these accusations. Luke 15:3-7 Luke 15:8-10 Luke 15:11-24 Each parable begins with something lost and ends with a celebration, an expression of God’s love for us and His profound interest in our salvation. A pastor was following up a Voice of Prophecy interest and discovered that the whole family was interested in Bible studies, except one. The mother, father, and younger daughter had accepted Christ and were eager to receive the pastor in their home on a regular basis. The older son had rebelled against Christianity and wanted nothing to do with it. Every evening that the pastor visited, the young man left the room and would not participate in the lesson studies. After six week
