Title :

Put on the Armor of Christ,

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16.

Commentary:

The light of truth must shine forth to the world. Those who love God and keep his commandments are called to aggressive warfare, not against one another, but against the armies of the invisible foe. There is to be no such thing as laying off the armor. At no time are those who claim to be Christ’s disciples to feel at ease in their church capacity, content to do nothing to rescue fallen human beings, and bring them back to their loyalty. UL 71.2

Heavenly angels are constantly ascending and descending between heaven and earth, engaged in unselfish service for the building up of the kingdom of Christ. Where are the men and women who will unite with these heavenly messengers? Where are those who will use their abilities in cooperation with divine power? UL 71.3

Think of what God has done for you. When you were perishing out of Christ, did not the warning message come to you, convincing you of sin and arousing you to repentance? Did not Christ reveal Himself to you as a sin-pardoning Saviour? And in the light and glory of your first love, were you not full of unselfish love to impart to others the grace which gave you newness of life in Christ? UL 71.4

Do not allow your zeal for Christ to decrease. Now that you have become the helping hand of Christ, you are to work earnestly for those whom, before your conversion, you looked upon with indifference. Remember that they are in as favorable a condition as you were ... [when you were] brought to repentance, and that their salvation may be of higher value to the church than yours was. Grudge not earnest, tender words and kindly deeds. Draw those around you to the cross of Calvary. Be so greatly in love with the truth that you will daily receive fresh grace to impart. Open the windows of the soul heavenward, that the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness may shine into your hearts. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). UL 71.5

Truth, precious, essential truth, will open before all who will keep their souls in the love of God. Duty and sacrifice will be precious to them, because of their love for the purchase of the blood of Christ. Human beings upon whom they would once scarcely look now assume a preciousness in their eyes. Once they had no interest in them; now they are united with Christ, and they are bound up in love with His heritage. The heart once frozen by icy selfishness is now melted by the influence of the Spirit.—Manuscript 17, February 26, 1901, “Neglected Duties.” UL 71.6

Praise God
Amen !

Title:

Christ Lived a Life of Humble Obedience,

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Hebrews 5:8, 9.

Commentary:

Christ came to our world, and lived in the home of a peasant. He wore the best garments His parents could provide, but they were the humble garments of the peasants. He walked the rough paths, and climbed the steeps of the hillsides and mountains. When He walked the streets He was apparently alone, for human eyes did not behold His heavenly attendants. He learned the trade of a carpenter, that He might stamp all honest labor as honorable and ennobling to all who work with an eye single to the glory of God.... UL 67.2

Christ, the Lord of the whole earth, was a humble artisan. He was unrecognized, neglected, and despised. But He held His commission and authority from the highest power, the Sovereign of heaven. Angels were His attendants, for Christ was doing His Father’s business just as much when toiling at the bench as a carpenter, as when working miracles for the multitude. But He concealed the secret from the world. He attached no high titles to His name, to make His position understood, but He lived the royal law of God. His work must begin in consecrating the humble trade of the craftsmen who have toiled for their daily bread. Had Christ passed His life among the grand and the rich, the world of toilers would have been deprived of the inspiration which the Lord intended they should have. UL 67.3

Meek and lowly was the life of Christ. He chose this life that He might help the human family. He did not take His place upon a throne as Commander of the whole earth. He laid aside His royal robe, He laid off His kingly crown, that He might be made one of the human family. He took not on Him the nature of angels. His work was not the priestly office after the appointments of men. It was impossible for man to understand His exalted position, unless the Holy Spirit should make it known. For our sake, He clothed His divinity with humanity, and stepped down from the royal throne. He resigned His position as Commander in the heavenly courts, and for our sakes became poor, that we through His poverty might be made rich. Thus, He hid His glory under the guise of humanity, that He might touch humanity with His divine, transforming power.... UL 67.4

Those to whom Christ has given a probation in which to form characters for the mansions He has gone to prepare are to enter into His life example.—Manuscript 24, February 22, 1898, “Christ’s Life on Earth.” UL 67.5

Praise God
Amen !

Genuine Christianity,

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1.

Commentary:

There is a counterfeit Christianity in the world as well as a genuine Christianity. The true spirit of the man is manifested by the way in which he deals with his fellow man. We can ask the question, “Does he represent the character of Christ in spirit and action, or simply manifest the natural selfish traits of character that belong to the people of this world?” Profession weighs nothing with God. Before it is everlastingly too late for wrongs to be righted, let each one ask himself, “What am I?” It depends upon ourselves as to whether we shall form such characters as will constitute us one of God’s royal family above. UL 66.2

If we would become Christlike, we must study Christ’s character.... It is necessary that we should closely examine ourselves, and enquire, “Is this Christ’s way? Would Christ pursue this course of action? What kind of an impression am I leaving upon the minds of those with whom I am connected? Shall I pursue a course of action that will weaken the confidence of anyone with whom I deal and cause them to think lightly of the Christianity that I profess? Shall I be uncourteous, un-Christlike, unmerciful toward the purchase of the blood of Christ?” UL 66.3

I would speak words of warning to the brethren of our churches, for I fear that many are acting the part of the slothful servant who hid his lord’s talent in the earth. His sin was the sin of neglect, the sin of failing to improve the great treasures of knowledge that were committed to his trust. God has given precious light to His people with which to enlighten the world, and are not many treating it with indifference, and acting as though the heavenly gift were of little consequence? ... UL 66.4

Fair weather disciples will not answer to the Lord’s call in time of peril toward which we are hastening. It will take those who not only hear but do the words of Christ to be active disciples—“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). A new energy proceeding from beneath is taking possession of the whole synagogue of Satan, and a new life descending from heaven is taking possession of every human agent who is consecrated, devoted, and who is seeking to work the works of God.... UL 66.5

Let those who minister in word and doctrine mix faith with earnest prayer, and seek to put to use every ray of light that comes from the Written Word. The voice of God calls from heaven, and demands the use of every entrusted capability. Every talent is to be used to its uttermost.—Manuscript 6, February 21, 1895, “Genuine and Counterfeit Christianity.” UL 66.6

Praise God
Amen !

Title :

A Living Connection With the Living God,

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
1 Corinthians 3:9.

Commentary:

We must have a living dependence upon a living God. And when there is a living connection with a living God, Christ abides in the heart by living faith, and the human agent works after Christ’s life. He is going to change our life and character, speaking the words that Christ speaks, revealing the character that Christ reveals. And if trials come to us, we will not manifest a rebellious spirit. The opportunities will present themselves to every one of us, because we see oppression and unkindness, and because we see burdens that would be thrown upon us, and let self come in and exhibit itself. UL 62.2

We let self arise. We want to put the trials in their right place, and where is it? Christ says to everyone that is weary and heavy laden, “Come unto me.” And what? “Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart.” And notwithstanding the crush of conflict that we shall have to pass through if we accept the truth of heavenly origin, there is meekness and lowliness in every move. Hide in Jesus Christ. Our life and character is hid with Christ in God, so we cannot afford to let any impulse of passion control our words or control our actions, but we must keep the Saviour’s example ever before us, and we must do just as Jesus would have done under similar circumstances. We are not to be revengeful. UL 62.3

Now the work that is before us we want clearly to understand. It is a work of mercy, a work of love, a work just in Christ’s lines. Just as Christ worked. He says that the nobleman went a long journey, and to every man he gave his work. The human agent is to cooperate with the divine. To everyone his work, and this is Christ’s work. It is not the man’s work. He is not to feel that all he has to do is to attend to his own individual self. No, there is a broader field. He is to occupy “till I come,” and what is it to occupy? To be laborers together with God. Therefore, it is of the greatest consequence that we understand in clear lines what it is to be laborers together with God. UL 62.4

We must be imbued with the Spirit of Christ. We cannot labor with God merely from our intellect or our education. We cannot buy the grace of God with money; we cannot buy it with eloquence; we cannot buy it with the power of our intellect. It is God’s to begin with.... We are to occupy to the best knowledge that we have, and sense our responsibility, and let our light shine through us to those that are around us, and in doing that we are doing the work of God.—Manuscript 11, February 17, 1894, “Isaiah 58.” UL 62.5

Praise God
Amen !

Title:

Recount God’s Goodness,

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Psalm 50:23.

Commentary:

[God] desires us to appreciate the great plan of redemption, to realize our high privilege as the people of God, and to walk before Him in obedience, with grateful thanksgiving. He desires us to serve Him in newness of life, with gladness every day. He longs to see gratitude welling up in our hearts because we have access to the mercy seat, the throne of grace; because our names are written in the Lamb’s book of life; because we may cast all our care on Him who cares for us. He bids us rejoice because we are the heritage of the Lord, because the righteousness of Christ is the robe of His saints, because we have the blessed hope of the soon coming of our Saviour. UL 61.2

To praise God in fullness and sincerity of heart is as much a duty as is prayer. We are to show to all the heavenly intelligences that we appreciate the wonderful love of God for fallen humanity, and that we are expecting larger and yet larger blessings from His infinite fullness. Far more than we do, we need to speak of the precious chapters in our experience. After a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, our joy in the Lord and our efficiency in His service will be greatly increased by recounting His goodness and His wonderful works in behalf of His children. UL 61.3

Such a testimony will have an influence upon others. No more effective means can we employ for winning souls to Christ. And our love is to be shown, not only in words, but in deeds, in personal ministry and sacrifice. Christ says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). UL 61.4

In His prayer to His Father, He said of His disciples, “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world” (John 17:18).... UL 61.5

And by the Holy Spirit through the apostle Peter, we are admonished, “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). UL 61.6

Thus it is that God desires to fulfill for us His purpose of grace. By the power of His love, through obedience, fallen man, a worm of the dust, is to be transformed, fitted to be a member of the heavenly family, a companion through eternal ages of God and Christ and the holy angels. Heaven will triumph, for the vacancies made by the fall of Satan and his host will be filled by the redeemed of the Lord.—Manuscript 21, February 16, 1900, “God’s Love Manifested.” UL 61.7

Praise God
Amen !

Faith and Action,

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. John 15:27.

Commentary:

A neglected work remains to be done, and we are to repent of our indifference toward this work, and pray for spiritual discernment to see and to sense, as we should, its urgent needs. To us has been entrusted enlightening, saving truth. All about us are multitudes who have never yet been enlightened. To these we must proclaim the lifesaving truths of the third angel’s message. We are to hunt for souls, laboring with all diligence to communicate to others that which is for their eternal welfare. UL 60.2

The unwarned multitudes are fast becoming the sport of the evil one. Satan is leading them into many forms of folly and self-pleasing. Many are seeking for that which is novel and startling; their minds are far from God and the truths of His Word. At this time, when the enemy is working as never before to engross the minds of men and women, and turn them from the truth, we should be laboring with increasing activity in the highways and also in the byways. Diligently, interestedly, we are to proclaim the last message of mercy in the cities—the highways—and the work is not to end there, but is to extend into the surrounding settlements and in the country districts—into the byways and the hedges. UL 60.3

All classes are to be reached. As we labor, we shall meet with various nationalities. None are to be passed by, unwarned. The Lord Jesus was the gift of God to the entire world—not to the higher classes alone, and not to any one nationality, to the exclusion of others. His saving grace encircles the whole world. Whosoever will may drink of the water of life freely. “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). But there is earnest work to be done. The gospel invitation is to be given in every place, for “how ... shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Verse 14). UL 60.4

The Lord desires His people to arise, and do their appointed work. The responsibility rests not upon the ministry alone. The lay members of the church are to share the burdens of soul saving.... The Lord now calls upon those who have a knowledge of the truth for this time, to arouse from their lethargy, and become true missionaries in His service. Time is short, and the Lord’s work must be done without further delay.—Letter 4, February 15, 1911, to W. C. White. UL 60.5

Praise God
Amen !

Show Yourself a Man,

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13.

Commentary :

You can do a much greater and more efficient work, if you will cultivate a calm trust in God, and do not become anxious, and worried, and troubled, as though Jesus were buried in the sepulcher, and you had no Saviour. He has risen,... He has ascended to the heavens, and is your Advocate before the throne of God.... UL 55.2

The followers of Jesus need not be amazed if they are made partakers with Christ of His sufferings. How can Christ look upon those for whom He has done so much, for whom He has paid so infinite a price, and yet they have never appreciated His great gift for them. The work of Christ’s representatives will be similar to that of their Redeemer. They are not to look to self or trust in self. They are not to place too high an estimate upon their own efforts. And when they see that others do not regard their efforts as highly as they themselves estimate them, they come to feel that their labors might as well cease. But this is the work of the enemy. We live not to men but to God. God estimates our work at their fullest value. God estimates nobility of character, and whether men appreciate it or not, it lives after the man is gone. After man has nothing more to do with anything under the sun, the example he has set, the golden words he has spoken, live through all time and through all eternity. This influence which was after the divine pattern never dies. His life has been connected with God. UL 55.3

We all have a personal influence, and our words and actions leave an indelible impress. It is our duty not to live for self, but for the good of others—not to be controlled by feelings, but to consider that our influence is a power for good or evil. God would have His workmen be that which David charged Solomon to be, “Show yourself a man.” ... UL 55.4

God is not pleased that any one of His representatives worries, wearies, and wears himself out, so that he does not diffuse the sweet fragrance of heaven in his life. We have but one life to live. Jesus has come to our world to teach us how to live that life, that we may represent the character of heaven. We must never grow fainthearted, for it will be far worse for ourselves and for others within the reach of our influence. God requires us to behave with dignity under trials and temptations. The Man of Sorrows, who was acquainted with grief, is before us as our example. “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne” (Revelation 3:21).—Letter 7, February 10, 1885, to Daniel T. Bourdeau, early worker in Europe. UL 55.5

Praise God
Amen !

Para sa Aming Pagsamba sa Umaga
Pamagat:

Ngayon ay ang Araw ng Pagliligtas,

Dahil sinasabi Niya, Narinig kita sa isang panahong angkop, at sa araw ng pagliligtas ay iniligtas kita: Tingnan ninyo, ngayon ang angkop na panahon; tingnan ninyo, ngayon ang araw ng pagliligtas.
2 Corinto 6:2

Paliwanag:

Lubos tayong dapat magpasalamat na hindi pa huli para maitama ang mga maling nagawa! Tungkulin nating ipakita ang pag-ibig sa Diyos hindi lamang sa ating mga salita, kundi sa gawa at sa katotohanan. UL 49.2

Tinatawag tayo ng Diyos sa panahong ito ng mga manggagawang may husay na laging nasa panig ng Pangunahing Manggagawa. Dapat nating taglayin ang katotohanan sa puso at pag-ibig kay Kristo. "Kung sinoman ang sasunod sa akin," sabi Niya, "hayaan niyang talikuran niya ang kanyang sarili, at buhatin ang kanyang krus, at sundan ako" (Marcos 8:34). Bawat isa sa atin ay may sariling gawain na gagawin sa pagtalikod sa sarili at sa pagtatrabaho para sa sariling pagliligtas na may pagkatakot at pagkamapagpakumbaba.... UL 49.3

Bawat kaluluwang nasa panig ni Kristo ay haharap sa panlilinlang na may lakas ng impluwensya ni Satanas. Ang biyaya ng Diyos ay makakapagbabago ng inyong puso, makakapagpalakas laban sa panlilinlang, at magbibigay sa inyo ng matinding pagnanasa sa Espiritu ng Diyos.... UL 49.4

Malapit nang ipakita ng Diyos ang Kanyang katarungan sa buong sanlibutan. Hinihingi ng Kanyang katarungan na ang kasalanan ay parurusahan; ibinibigay naman ng Kanyang awa na ang kasalanan ay patawarin sa pamamagitan ng pagsisisi at pag-amin. Ang pagpapatawad ay makakamtan lamang sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang bugtong na Anak; Si Kristo lamang ang makakapag-alis ng kasalanan—at iyon ay mangyayari lamang kapag ang kasalanan ay isisi at talikuran. Ang tao ay naghiwalay sa Diyos, at ang kanyang kaluluwa ay naging mahina at walang lakas dahil sa nakamamatay na lason ng kasalanan. Ngunit may isang panahong ang pahayag ay umalingawngaw sa mga hukuman ng langit: Nakahanap ako ng isang kabayaran! Isang buhay na banal ang ibinigay bilang kabayaran para sa tao; Isang Makapangyarihang Kapareho ng Ama ang naging kapalit ng tao. UL 49.5

Napakatalino ng mga plano ni Satanas para manglinlang at baluktutin ang mga bagay, kaya't ang mga biyayang dumating sa atin mula sa banal na buhay ay maaaring maging mga bitag. Gamit ang parehong maling pangangatwiran na ginamit niya para linlangin sina Adan at Eba sa Hardin ng Eden, sinusubukan niyang gawing mga bitag at sumpa ang mga biyayang ibinibigay ng Diyos para sa ating ikabubuti. Sinusubukan niyang hikayatin ang mga tao na gamitin ang mga regalo ng Diyos bilang sandata laban sa Nagbigay. UL 49.6

Ibinigay ng Diyos ang Kanyang bugtong na Anak sa sangkatauhan para ang tao ay makapagtaglay ng kalikasan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggap ng lunas para sa kasalanan at pagpapahintulot sa banal na biyaya ni Kristo na gumana sa kanyang buhay. Ang lakas ng Diyos na gumagana sa tao ay makakapag-ugnay sa tao sa tamang relasyon sa Diyos. Ang nahulog na tao, sa pamamagitan ng paghawak sa lakas ng Diyos na nasa kanyang abot, ay maaaring maging isa sa Diyos. Ang buhay na walang hanggan ay ang biyayang dinala ni Kristo para sa sanlibutan.—Sulat 38, Pebrero 4, 1907, para sa isang dating manggagawa na nag-aalangan sa krisis ng panteismo sa Battle Creek. UL 49.7

Malayang Pagpapatawad,

Pagkatapos ay lumapit si Pedro sa Kanya, at nagsabi, Panginoon, hanggang sa ilang ulit maaaring magkasala sa akin ang aking kapatid, at papatawarin ko siya? Hanggang sa pitong ulit? Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, Hindi ko sinasabi sa iyo, Hanggang sa pitong ulit: kundi, Hanggang sa pitumpu’t pitong ulit.
Mateo 18:21, 22.

Komentaryo :

Kung tratuhin ng Panginoon ang sangkatauhan tulad ng pagtrato ng mga tao sa isa’t isa, tayo ay matutupok na sana; ngunit Siya ay mahinahon, may malambot na awa, na pinapatawad ang ating mga pagkakasala at kasalanan. Kapag tayo ay naghahanap sa Kanya nang buong puso, makikita Natin tayo.... UL 43.2

Si Kristo ay ating tagapagtanggap ng kasalanan, isang taong patuloy na nagpapatawad ng kasamaan at kasalanan. Ang awa, pagtitimpi, paghihintay, ay kaluwalhatian ng Kanyang katangian. Nang manalangin si Moises sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, “Ipakita Mo sa akin ang Iyong kaluwalhatian,” sinabi Niya, “Ipapadaan ko sa harap mo ang lahat ng aking kabutihan.” Ang tanong na tinanong ni Pedro kay Kristo ay imungkahi sa kanya ng mga aral na ibinigay na ni Kristo tungkol sa disiplina ng iglesya. UL 43.3

Ang mga utos ng mga Hudyo ay nag-uutos sa mga tao ng tungkulin na patawarin ang limang pagkakasala, at sa pagmungkahi ni Pedro ng pitong ulit, akala niya ay naabot na niya ang hangganan ng pasensya ng tao. Ngunit gusto ni Jesus na maintindihan niyang ang mga taong may isip ng Diyos, at pinupuno ng espiritu ng Diyos, ay magpapakita ng pagpapatawad nang walang hangganan. Ang plano at batayan ng kaligtasan, na siyang pag-ibig, ay ang prinsipyong dapat ipatupad ng sangkatauhan. Kung limitahan ni Kristo ang Kanyang awa, pagkamakatao, at pagpapatawad sa isang tiyak na bilang ng mga kasalanan, ilan lamang ang makakapagligtas! UL 43.4

Ngunit ang awa ni Kristo sa pagpapatawad ng mga kasamaan ng mga tao ay nagtuturo sa atin na dapat mayroong libreng pagpapatawad sa mga kasamaan at kasalanang ginagawa sa atin ng ating kapwa. Ibinigay ni Kristo ang araling ito sa Kanyang mga alagad para itama ang mga masasamang bagay na itinuturo at ginagawa sa mga utos at halimbawa ng mga taong nagsasalinwika ng Banal na Kasulatan noong panahong iyon.” UL 43.5

Ang prinsipyong pinagbatayan ni Kristo sa paghahanap ng pagbabagong-loob ng sangkatauhan sa pamamagitan ng plano ng kaligtasan ay iisang prinsipyo na dapat na mamuhay sa Kanyang mga tagasunod sa kanilang pakikitungo sa isa’t isa kapag nasa kapasidad ng iglesya. Ang aralin ay upang bigyang-diin din sa ating isipan ang katotohanan na hindi tayo makakarating sa langit sa sarili nating mga karangalan, kundi sa pamamagitan lamang ng kahanga-hangang awa at pagtitimpi ng Diyos na ipinapakita sa atin na walang paraang makapagbigay tayo ng katumbas nito. UL 43.6

Maaari lamang maligtas ang tao sa pamamagitan ng kahanga-hangang pagtitimpi ng Diyos sa pagpapatawad ng kanyang maraming kasalanan at pagkakasala. Ngunit ang mga taong pinagpala ng awa ng Diyos ay dapat na magpakita ng parehong diwa ng pagtitimpi at pagpapatawad sa mga taong bumubuo ng pamilya ng Panginoon.—Liham 30, Enero 29, 1895, kay “Kapatid Hardy.” UL 43.7

Ang Buhay na Mananatili ,

Ang kaharian ng langit ay katulad ng lambat na inihagis sa dagat, at lahat ng uri ng isda ay doon nakalap. Mateo 13:47

Komentaryo:

Mayroon tayong maraming patunay na ang mga damo ay lumalaki kasama ng trigo sa iglesya ng Diyos. May mga tapat na Kristiyano sa iglesya, at mayroon din namang mga pagapang na Kristiyano. May pagkakataon silang malaman ang katotohanan. Ang Salita ng Diyos ay ipinakikita sa kanila; dumadalo sila sa hapunan, tulad ni Juda na dumalo sa Paskuwa, ngunit tulad ni Juda, hindi nila kinakain ang Salita ng buhay. Walang makakapilit sa kanila na kainin ang Salita ng buhay na walang hanggan — na gawing lubos ang pagsisisi, upang makamit nila ang karanasang Kristiyano, at maging matatag at nakatanim sa katotohanan.... UL 35.2

Hindi tayo dapat matabunan ng kawalan ng pag-asa dahil ang mabuti at masama ay pinagsasama sa iglesya. Si Juda ay isinama sa mga alagad. Nakuha niya ang lahat ng pribilehiyong maibibigay sa isang tao, ngunit bagaman narinig niya ang katotohanan, at nakinig sa mga prinsipyong malinaw na inilatag, alam ni Cristo na hindi niya tinatanggap ang katotohanan. Hindi niya kinakain ang katotohanan. Hindi ito naging bahagi ng kanyang sarili. Ang kanyang mga luma nang gawi at kaugalian ay patuloy na sinusubukang ipakita ang sarili. Ngunit hindi gumamit si Cristo ng puwersa para alisin si Juda mula sa mga alagad.... UL 35.3

Ang lahat ng nagsisikap na gawin ang tunay na paglilingkod sa Diyos ay mapupunta sa kalituhan. Ngunit huwag nating isipin ang pagkabigo. Huwag nating usapin ang kawalan ng pag-asa. Maging magkakasama tayong lahat sa paggawa ng kalooban ng ating Ama sa langit.... Kung tayo ay mga Kristiyano, hindi tayo maaaring sundin ang mga pamamaraan ng mundo. Ang “Kasulatang ito” ay dapat na ating laging tagapayo. Hindi dapat tayong gabayan ng mga ginagawa ng mga taong hindi makadiyos.... UL 35.4

Ang mga tao ay kumikilos na parang binigyan sila ng espesyal na kalayaan na balewalain ang mga desisyon ng Diyos. Ang mga mataas na kritiko ay inilalagay ang kanilang sarili sa lugar ng Diyos, at sinusuri ang Salita ng Diyos, binabago o sinusuportahan ito. Sa ganitong paraan, ang lahat ng bansa ay hinihikayat na uminom ng alak ng pagkakasala ng Babilonia. Ang mga mataas na kritikong ito ay nag-ayos ng mga bagay para umangkop sa mga tanyag na katiwalian sa mga huling araw na ito. Kung hindi nila maibabali at maling gamitin ang Salita ng Diyos, kung hindi nila maibabago para umangkop sa mga gawi ng tao, sinira nila ito.... UL 35.5

Ang lahat ng gumagawa ng Salita ng Diyos ay gagantimpalaan ng sagana. Anuman ang mga pagsubok na kailangang buhatin, anuman ang mga pagkawala na kailangang tiisin, anuman ang pag-uusig na maaaring maranasan, kahit na hanggang sa mawala ang kanilang pansamantalang buhay, sila ay sapat na binabayaran; sapagkat nakakamit nila ang buhay na katumbas ng buhay ng Diyos. Sa pagkawala ng kanilang buhay para sa ikabubuti ni Cristo, nakakakuha sila ng buhay na hahaba hanggang sa mga walang hanggang henerasyon. Naglalakad sila sa pamamahala ng Ama ng mga liwanag, na walang pagbabago, ni anumang anino ng pagliko. Makikita nila ang kanyang mukha, at ang kanyang pangalan ay nasa kanilang noo.—Sulat 48, Enero 21, 1897, sa “Mga Kapatid na Daniells at Salisbury,” mga nangungunang manggagawa sa Australia. UL 35.6

Purihin si Diyos
Amen!

For Our Morning Devotional,
Title:

The Family a Symbol,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.
Ephesians 3:14, 15.

Commentary:

In the church, officers are appointed as co-workers with God for the edification of the body of Christ. Mothers and fathers who are doers of the Word of God are a part of the body of Christ. They nurture and admonish their children in accordance with God’s Word, raising up a little army to stand under Christ’s banner. They are God’s witnesses, showing to the world that they are under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Christ is their pattern and they educate their children to know God. UL 33.2

In the prayer Christ offered in behalf of His disciples just before His betrayal and crucifixion, He said, “This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). Should not every family on earth be a symbol of the family in heaven? In each household should there not be heard songs of praise and thanksgiving? UL 33.3

The family whose members love God and one another, who do not get provoked, who are longsuffering, forbearing, kind, is a symbol of the family above. The members realize that they are a part of the great firm of heaven. They are taught by the laws of mutual dependence to rely upon the great Head of the church. If one of the members of such a family suffer, all the rest suffer. The suffering of one entails suffering on the other. This should teach the youth to take care of their bodies, and to pray to be preserved in health, because when they suffer from disease, the whole family partakes of their suffering. UL 33.4

Those men and women who have determined to serve God will seek to govern their families so that they may correctly represent the religion of Christ. The children will be taught to be tidy and useful, to share the burdens of the home, not allowing the parents to bear any [burden] which they can carry. Thus the lot of mother and father is made much easier. The whole family shares the blessing of the helpfulness of its members. UL 33.5

Why do not parents come to Jesus just as they are, asking for His forgiving grace and healing power? Why do they not plead to be endowed with capabilities that will enable them to rule their households aright?... UL 33.6

God is robbed when men and women do not connect with Him in such a way that mind, soul, and strength may be controlled by the Holy Spirit. The family of God here below should cooperate in the most perfect harmony with God’s appointed agencies in the work of molding the human character after the divine similitude.—Manuscript 1, January 19, 1899, “Unity, Courtesy, Love.” UL 33.7

Praise God
Amen !
