Lesson 1 for July 3, 2021
Adapted from www.fustero.es
www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
“My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the
Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living
God” (Ps. 84:2, NKJV).
We all need rest
God is concerned about our rest
Biblical rest:
Rest in the Old Testament
Rest in the New Testament
Rest without God
It is a challenge to live in a society that works 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
How can we find rest surrounded by a lot of hustle and
bustle?
This quarter we will study God’s guide to physical,
mental, and—the most important one—spiritual rest in
the Bible.
WE ALL
NEED REST
“but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it
you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter,
nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox,
nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates, that your male servant and your female
servant may rest as well as you.” (Deuteronomy 5:14)
We all need rest, there is no exception. Even animals need it!
Even Adam and Eve needed it in a perfect world without sin or
stress. God Himself rested after 6 days of work! (Gn. 2:1-3).
God created a palace in time where we could rest. This type of
rest goes beyond just physical and metal restoration.
God commanded us to rest
during 24 hours after six days
of work as He did, and to
enjoy His company during
that period (Exodus 20:8-11).
GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR REST
“You said, ‘Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my
sighing, and I find no rest.’” (Jeremiah 45:3)
Why couldn’t
Baruch—Jeremiah’s
secretary—find rest
(Jeremiah 45:1-5)?
Jerusalem was going
through tough times.
Nebuchadnezzar had
attacked the city
and had taken some
of the princes and
the tools of the
Temple one year
before (Dn. 1:1).
Besides, God had been sending
messages about destruction through
prophet Jeremiah. Baruch was
overwhelmed. He was emotionally
exhausted and could not find rest.
“You said, ‘Woe is me now! For the Lord
has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted
in my sighing, and I find no rest.’”
(Jeremiah 45:3)
I understand your pain. It
pains me to have to punish my
children, to destroy those I
have created and looked after
with love
God answered Baruch in two ways:
GOD IS CONCERNED
ABOUT OUR REST
I will preserve your life. Even
amid destruction, “I will give
your life to you as a prize in all
places, wherever you go.”
(Jeremiah 45:5)
God has a special and positive promise for each one of us in moments of
sadness and pain. He gives us a break in the middle of our troubles.
REST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT “And on the seventh day
God ended His work which
He had done, and He
rested.” (Genesis 2:2)
Several Hebrew words are used for “rest” in the
Old Testament:
shabbat Gn. 2:2-3; Ex. 5:5
To cease work, to rest, to take a
holiday
nuakh Ex. 20:11; Dt. 5:14; Job
3:13; Nm. 10:36; 2K. 2:15
Rest, settled, rested. It is used in the
fourth commandment
shaqat Jos. 11:23
To be at rest, grant relief, be quiet,
peace
raga` Dt. 28:65; Jer. 50:34
It is used in a causative form,
describing the inability to rest
shakab Dt. 31:16; 2S. 7:12 To lie down, sleep, be dead
anapauō Mt. 11:28; 26:45;
1Co. 16:18
To rest, relax, refresh. It can refer to
physical or moral rest
hēsychazō Lk. 23:56; 1Th. 4:11;
Acts 11:18
Sabbath rest, a quiet life, someone has
no objections and keeps quiet
katapauō Heb. 4:4
To cause to cease, bring to rest, rest.
Used in Hebrews 4
In Mark 6:31, Jesus commanded His disciples to rest. Moments of rest are necessary to
protect our health and emotional wellbeing. We should take time to rest when working
hard, even if we are doing the work of God.
REST IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT
“And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves
to a deserted place and rest a while.’ For there
were many coming and going, and they did not
even have time to eat.” (Mark 6:31)
There are also several Greek words for “rest” in the New Testament:
REST WITHOUT GOD
“Surely You have driven me out this day
from the face of the ground; I shall be
hidden from Your face; I shall be a
fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and
it will happen that anyone who finds me
will kill me.” (Genesis 4:14)
Cain chased material things, human relations, and maybe a
busy life, trying to meet his need for spiritual rest and divine
grace. That is quite a present-day situation, isn’t it?
If we live a frantic 24-7 life without the rest God offers, we
will lose perspective, get worn out physically, mentally, and
emotionally, neglect prayer and Bible study, and move away
from the Source of rest and life (Matthew 11:28).
Cain was running away from God when he made that statement. He did not want to
acknowledge his sin, and he was just afraid of being punished.
“We need to appreciate more fully the meaning of
the words: ‘I sat down under His shadow with great
delight.’ Song of Solomon 2:3. These words do not
bring to our minds the picture of hasty transit, but of
quiet rest […] Let us turn from the dusty, heated
thoroughfares of life to rest in the shadow of Christ’s
love. Here we gain strength for conflict. Here we
learn how to lessen toil and worry, and how
to speak and sing to the praise of God.
Let the weary and the heavy-laden learn
from Christ the lesson of quiet trust.
They must sit under His shadow if they
would be possessors of His peace and rest.”
E. G. W. (Testimonies for the Church, book 7, cp. 13, p. 69)

Sabbath school lesson 1, 3rd quarter 2021

  • 1. Lesson 1 for July 3, 2021 Adapted from www.fustero.es www.gmahktanjungpinang.org “My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God” (Ps. 84:2, NKJV).
  • 2. We all need rest God is concerned about our rest Biblical rest: Rest in the Old Testament Rest in the New Testament Rest without God It is a challenge to live in a society that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How can we find rest surrounded by a lot of hustle and bustle? This quarter we will study God’s guide to physical, mental, and—the most important one—spiritual rest in the Bible.
  • 3. WE ALL NEED REST “but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.” (Deuteronomy 5:14) We all need rest, there is no exception. Even animals need it! Even Adam and Eve needed it in a perfect world without sin or stress. God Himself rested after 6 days of work! (Gn. 2:1-3). God created a palace in time where we could rest. This type of rest goes beyond just physical and metal restoration. God commanded us to rest during 24 hours after six days of work as He did, and to enjoy His company during that period (Exodus 20:8-11).
  • 4. GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR REST “You said, ‘Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.’” (Jeremiah 45:3) Why couldn’t Baruch—Jeremiah’s secretary—find rest (Jeremiah 45:1-5)? Jerusalem was going through tough times. Nebuchadnezzar had attacked the city and had taken some of the princes and the tools of the Temple one year before (Dn. 1:1). Besides, God had been sending messages about destruction through prophet Jeremiah. Baruch was overwhelmed. He was emotionally exhausted and could not find rest.
  • 5. “You said, ‘Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.’” (Jeremiah 45:3) I understand your pain. It pains me to have to punish my children, to destroy those I have created and looked after with love God answered Baruch in two ways: GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR REST I will preserve your life. Even amid destruction, “I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” (Jeremiah 45:5) God has a special and positive promise for each one of us in moments of sadness and pain. He gives us a break in the middle of our troubles.
  • 6.
