HYMN:

A&M 336

1. Forth in thy Name, O Lord, I go,
my daily labor to pursue;
thee, only thee, resolved to know
in all I think or speak or do.

2. The task thy wisdom hath assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works thy presence find,
and prove thy good and perfect will.

3. Thee may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes mine inmost substance see,
and labor on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.

4. Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day.

5. For thee delightfully employ
whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given;
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven. Amen.

BIBLE STUDY

4th Sunday after TrinityJuly 5, 2020
THEME: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
SUB-THEME: Attributes of Jesus Christ (10)
TOPIC: Omniscience
TEXTS: Matthew 9:4-5; John 2: 24-25

AIMS:
i. to discover the mysteries and magnitude of the knowledge of Jesus and
ii. to experience the acknowledgment of Jesus’omniscience by His followers.

INTRODUCTION:
Omniscience is a theological term that refers to God’s superior universal knowledge and wisdom. God knows everything from eternity past to eternity future simultaneously without consulting anyone for knowledge or understanding. (Psalm. 139: 1-6) The Texts today reveal Jesus Christ as omniscient. This study shall further show how the disciples acknowledged the omniscience of Jesus Christ.

STUDY GUIDE/QUESTION:

1. Explain the word “Omni-science” and what we mean when we say God is Omniscient? Psalm. 139: 1-6; 147: 4-5; Isa. 40:26; Matt. 10: 30?

2. How did Jesus manifest the omniscience of God on earth? Matt 9:4-5; Mark 2:8; John 2:24-25; 6:64.

3. What are the mysteries and magnitude of the omniscience of Jesus? John 4: 16-19,28-29; 10: 14-16.

4. In what ways did the early Apostles acknowledge the omniscience of Jesus Christ? John 16:30; Acts 1: 24-25; 1 Cor. 4: 5.

CONCLUSION:
No human being on earth had ever displayed the omniscience of God as our Lord Jesus Christ who knows all things from the beginning of the age till the end of the age. To Him we should commit our souls and spirits.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
The thought of Judas Iscariot were never hidden from Jesus Christ.

MEMORY VERSE:
John 16:30 “Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."

LESSON:

Matthew 19:16–26

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

This is the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ...

Amen.

COLLECT:

Lord, you taught us that whatever we do without love is worth nothing; send your Holy spirit and pour into our hears that most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whoever lives is counted dead before you; grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.

OPENING HYMN: A&M 290/C.H.579

1. Through all the changing scenes of life,
in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.

2. O magnify the Lord with me,
with me exalt his Name;
when in distress to him I called,
he to my rescue came.

3. The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords to all
who on his succor trust.

4. O make but trial of his love;
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they
who in his truth confide.

5. Fear him, ye saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make you his service your delight;
your wants shall be his care.

6. To God the father, God the son,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Amen.
