Jesus’ Teachings and the Great Controversy
--> February 13, 2016 Sabbath School Larry R Evans, SS Teacher Getting rest is good. We all need it. This week we will be looking at the teaching of Jesus and the cosmic conflict between Jesus and Satan. What is amazing is that when the enemy’s influence and activity was everywhere and seemingly gaining ground, Jesus tells his disciples to rest not to fight harder . . . or did He? Maybe we don’t see what Jesus saw because we are looking for a conventional battlefield. Note what Jesus says in Mk 6:30. “The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (Mk 6:30) It appears that the extraordinary and ongoing battle between good and evil cannot be fought as an ordinary battle. It is important to note that Jesus did not just only say, “rest”
