Lesson 8: The Sabbath and the End
Outline by Dr. Abraham M. del Rosario

Key Text: “And to make all see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ” (Eph 3:9, NKJV)

Ours is a shared heritage. We belong to the same family, We are brothers and sisters fashioned, shaped, and molded by the same God. Creation provides a true sense of self-worth.
