In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Sabbath School Lesson 8, 4th quarter_2020
1. Lesson 8 for November 21, 2020
Adapted from www.fustero.es
www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
“All Scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness”
(2 Timothy 3:16, NKJV).
2. Redeeming education
Jesus as Teacher
The Bible as teacher
Humans as teachers
The Holy Spirit as Teacher
The Bible tells the story of
humankind from God’s
perspective.
In the Bible we see how
God educated His people
and taught them about His
grace and His plan to
redeem them.
3. REDEEMING
EDUCATION
“In the day that God created
man, He made him in the
likeness of God.” (Genesis 5:1)
Human beings are the only
creatures on Earth that were
created in the image of God
(Genesis 1:27).
Adam and Eve were supposed to transmit this
image to their children. However, sin made
their children to be born “in their likeness” and
not in God’s likeness (Genesis 5:3).
The image of God has been gradually distorted with each
human generation. The purpose of God’s education is to
restore the image of God in us thanks to the Redemption plan.
This plan covers the whole
human history, since sin
entered the world to the
new Creation, including
Jesus’ incarnation. We’ll
keep studying the plan of
Redemption for all eternity.
4. “To restore in man the
image of his Maker, to bring
him back to the perfection
in which he was created, to
promote the development of
body, mind, and soul, that
the divine purpose in his
creation might be realized—
this was to be the work of
redemption. This is the
object of education, the
great object of life.”
E.G.W. (Education, cp. 1, p. 15)
5. JESUS AS TEACHER “Rabbi, we know that You are a
teacher come from God;” (John
3:2)
Isaiah 11:1-9 contains a
surprising prophecy about the
Messiah. Jesus is introduced as
Teacher in this passage: He will have Spirit of wisdom
He will have Spirit of counsel
He will have Spirit of knowledge
He will judge with righteousness
He will decide with equity
This will be the final result of His work as
Teacher: “the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the Lord.”
Nicodemus was one of the first people that
acknowledged Jesus as Teacher (Rabbi).
Jesus explained him that His gift of
teaching was a gift from God
(John 3:11-12). God prepares the teachers
to carry out His work.
6. THE BIBLE
AS TEACHER
“They have Moses and the
prophets; let them hear
them.” (Luke 16:29)
Paul introduced the Bible to Timothy as the textbook par excellence:
“[it] is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16). Each one of its parts
has something we can learn from.
THEOLD
TESTAMENT
Pentateuch How to live according to God’s plan for us

Latter prophets The mistakes of Israel and how to avoid them

7. “The Bible is the textbook, and it is
to be searched diligently—not as we
would read a book among many
books. It must be to us the book that
meets the wants
of the soul. This
book will make
the man who
studies and obeys it wise unto
salvation.”
E.G.W. (This Day With God, April 28)
8. HUMANS AS
TEACHERS
There are many people in the
Bible who lived in a
responsible way and worked to
help others. Some of those
wise people were Joseph,
Aholiab, David, Ethan,
Ahithophel, Hushai, Agur,
Lemuel, Gamaliel, and Paul.
“The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and
adds learning to his lips.” (Proverbs 16:23)
Without a doubt, the most outstanding of them was Solomon. He wrote about
plants and animals, and composed proverbs and songs. His writings explain how
to put all knowledge into practice (that is, to be wise).
He encouraged us to pursue wisdom and to use it to teach others. This way we’ll
be agents that God will use to teach His people (Proverbs 9:9-10).
9. THE HOLY SPIRIT
AS TEACHER
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all
things that I said to you.” (John
14:26)
Before Jesus ascended, He promised
that He would send the Holy Spirit to
continue His teaching work.
He leads us to all truth, and teaches
us what we should say, when and
how.
His education does not rely “on
human wisdom, but on God’s power.”
It does not follow “the wisdom of this
age” but teaches “God’s wisdom” (1
Corinthians 2:5-7 NIV).
The Holy Spirit can teach us “even the
deep things of God.” (v. 10)
How deep will that education be? How
much knowledge will those who are
guided by the Spirit acquire?
10. “The youth should be learners for the next world.
Perseverance in the acquisition of knowledge, controlled by
the fear and love of God, will give them an increased power
for good in this life, and those who have made the most of
their privileges to reach the highest attainments here, will
take these valuable acquisitions with them into the future
life. They have sought and obtained that which is
imperishable.”
E.G.W. (Fundamentals of Christian Education, cp. 2, p. 49)
