20:20 the year of Vision #Exodus

Sons and Daughters of God • "To Keep the Sabbath" • SD 195.1-5

And Moses said unto the people,
Fear not: for God is come to prove you,
and that his fear may be before your faces,
that ye sin not.
Exodus 20:20

It requires moral courage to take a position to keep the commandments of the Lord.
An opposer of the truth once said that it was only weak-minded people ... who would turn away from the churches to keep the seventh day as the Sabbath. But a minister who had embraced the truth replied,

“If you think it takes weak-minded persons, just try it.”
It takes moral courage, firmness,
decision, perseverance and very much prayer
to step out on the unpopular side....

Standing under the broad shield of Omnipotence, we do not feel that we are in the minority. God is a majority.... We are to consider that Christ has set us to be a light amid the moral darkness of the world. We are not to misinterpret the character of God, we are not to be fretful, to speak out what we think, to blame and criticize and censure others; but we are to let the Holy Spirit fashion the character after the similitude of Christ.

Now let us see what Jesus will do for us if we let Him. In His prayer for His disciples He said, “And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.” Is it possible to have joy in obeying Christ?
It is the only real joy that any soul can have.

Will the Saviour ever turn away to leave you to struggle alone? No, never....
Poverty is coming upon this world, and there will be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. There will be wars and rumors of wars, and the faces of men will gather paleness. You may have to suffer distress; you may go hungry sometimes; but God will not forsake you in your suffering. He will test your faith....

We are here to manifest Christ to the world,
to represent Him
and His power to mankind.

With God Alone

Shut in by the bulwarks of the mountains, Moses was alone with God. The magnificent temples of Egypt no longer impressed his mind with their superstition and falsehood. In the solemn grandeur of the everlasting hills he beheld the majesty of the Most High, and in contrast realized how powerless and insignificant were the gods of Egypt. Everywhere the Creator's name was written. Moses seemed to stand in His presence and to be over-shadowed by His power. Here his pride and self-sufficiency were swept away. In the stern simplicity of his wilderness life, the results of the ease and luxury of Egypt disappeared. Moses became patient, reverent, and humble, “very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth” (Numbers 12:3), yet strong in faith in the mighty God of Jacob.

Love Stronger Than Death

16/2/2020

We must fall upon the Rock and be broken before we can be uplifted in Christ. Self must be dethroned, pride must be humbled, if we would know the glory of the spiritual kingdom.

In the light of the Saviour's life, the hearts of all,
even from the Creator to the prince of darkness, are revealed.
Satan has represented God as selfish and oppressive, as claiming all, and giving nothing, as requiring the service of His creatures for His own glory, and making no sacrifice for their good. But the gift of Christ reveals the Father's heart. It testifies that...

the thoughts of God toward us
are "thoughts of peace, and not of evil."
Jeremiah 29:11

It declares that while God's hatred of sin is as strong as death,
His love for the sinner is stronger than death.
Having undertaken our redemption, He will spare nothing,
however dear, which is necessary to the completion of His work.
No truth essential to our salvation is withheld,
no miracle of mercy is neglected,
no divine agency is left unemployed.
Favor is heaped upon favor, gift upon gift.

At the cross of Calvary,
love and selfishness stood face to face.
Here was their crowning manifestation.
Christ had lived only to comfort and bless,
and in putting Him to death, Satan manifested
the malignity of his hatred against God.
He made it evident
that the real purpose of his rebellion
was to dethrone God,
and to destroy Him through whom
the love of God was shown.

By the life and the death of Christ,
the thoughts of men and women also are brought to view.
From the manger to the cross,
the life of Jesus was a call to self-surrender,
and to fellowship in suffering.
It unveiled the purposes of everyone.
Jesus came with the truth of heaven,
and all who were listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit
were drawn to Him.
The worshipers of self belonged to Satan's kingdom.
In their attitude toward Christ,
all would show on which side they stood.
And thus all pass judgment on themselves.

—The Desire of Ages, 57.

Believe for the Blessing..

The cross speaks life,
and not death,
to the soul that believes in Jesus.

Welcome the precious life-giving rays that
shine from the cross of Calvary.
Reach up for the blessing, believe for the blessing.

Walk not in the shadow of the cross. Do not give expression to weeping, lamentation, and woe; but encourage your soul to hope and joy. The cross points upward to a living Saviour, who is your advocate, and is pleading in your behalf.

When you are deeply shadowed
it is because Satan has interposed himself between you
and the bright rays of the Sun of Righteousness.

I must trust in Him irrespective
of the changes of my emotional atmosphere.

I must show forth the praises of Him
who has called me out of darkness
into His marvelous light.

My heart must be steadfast in Christ, my Saviour,
beholding His love and gracious goodness.
I must not trust Him now and then, but always,
that I may manifest the results of abiding in Him who has
bought me with His precious blood.

We must learn to believe the promises,
to have an abiding faith.

Let us live in the sunlight of the cross of Calvary.
Let us no longer dwell in the shadow, complaining of our sorrows,
for this only deepens our trouble.
Let us never forget, even when we walk in the valley,
that Christ is as much with us when we walk trustingly there
as when we are on the mountaintop.

Manuscript 61, 1895.

As the Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.

This is my commandment,
That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John 15:9-14 KJV
