LAUDZERMM's video: The Church Education Sabbath School Lesson 9 28 11 20

Lesson 9:- November 28 – 2020. The Church and Education 1 Thessalonians 2: 6 - 8. “We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. 7 Instead, we were like young children1 among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, 8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” A Seeing as Jesus does B Living as Jesus taught us to. C Caring as Jesus did. D Seeking the truth which is Jesus. E Sharing Jesus. A Seeing as Jesus does. Jesus sees the needs in the people around us, and He encourages us to help them. The church has been blessed with great doctrinal truths that help us to better understand the promises and will of God. However, just knowing those truths is not enough to treat others kindly and without any prejudice. Seeing as Jesus does involves fixing our eyes on the Cross and not on ourselves. This perspective will help us to see the value that God sees in every human being. B Living as Jesus taught us to. We live in a world that has been obscured by sin, moral decline, and spiritual darkness. The mission of the church is to bring light and hope to every corner of the world. How should the members of the body of Christ be in order to reflect God’s kindness like an effective light? Matthew 5:3-12- list in the beatitudes, the attributes of those who will inherit the kingdom of God. Do we possess those attributes in ourselves? C Caring as Jesus did. The mission of Jesus as outlined in Luke 4:18-19 consisted of: • caring for the poor, • helping the heartbroken, • healing the sick • liberating the captives from sin. We are called to follow His example and to love each other. We are also called to put that love into practice, caring for others and providing for their physical and spiritual needs to the best of our ability. We are disciples of the Teacher, and we should constantly show the same empathy He showed, always working for their salvation. D Seeking the truth which is Jesus. God created us with an innate sense of curiosity, and an insatiable desire for learning more. • Ecclesiastes 1:8; says the eye is not satisfied with seeing, • Ecclesiastes 3:11 the ear is not filled with hearing. We seek answers to the most transcendental questions. John 14:6 - There’s no better source of information to answer these questions than Jesus, who the absolute truth is himself. Christian education involves leading people to the truth by looking for answers in the Bible, the book that contains the truth that Jesus shared. E Sharing Jesus. The first Christians gathered in small groups at home. Christians shared their faith, grew together in the truth, and put the Gospel into practice in those groups. Those were open groups, and they were eager to share the truth with whoever was willing to accept it. The purpose of every church is to share Jesus, no matter its size. Every church is an educational center where everyone can learn and teach about Jesus
