According to Scripture by Robert O Qulnn of the Pembroke Seventh Day Adventlst Church Last week we were looking at Moses and the striking of the Rock and how that Rock represented Jesus and His death on the cross. Jesus is called the Rock in several places, and the Figure of a Rock was first used to represent Christ by th is experience of Moses and the Jews. Just as Jesus was to die once (symbolized by the first smiting of the rock by Moses), then we are to appeal to Him through prayer ( which was what Moses was suppose to symbolized in the second rock experience). In Hebrews 10:12 we see that Jesus was to die once as our sacrifice and in this way He gave complete atonement on the cross. It is a complete sacrifice, '. nothing could be added to make it ; more perfect, and because of that, , Jesus need not die again. And yet, was His death on the cross the final atonement? Not according to the shadow of ' things to come in the old testament. By looking at the example given to us in O.T. We can see how the true atonement is to play out in the N.T. Please read Lev. 4:20, 26, 31,35; chap. 5:6,10,13,16,18; chap 6:7; chap. 7:7 and over 20 more times in Leviticus, when a sinner comes to the sanctuary for final blotting out of those previously confessed sins, and the pronouncement is given that atonement has been made, and that sinner is forgiven; but yet has to return to the sanctuary for final blotting out of those previously confessed sins on the Great Day of Atonement found in Lev. 16:7verse 30. In a similar way, the death of Jesus was an all sufficient atonement in that there was no need of any more sacrifices in order to obtain forgiveness ( atonement). But, just as the earthly sanctuary was cleansed on the Great Day of Attonement (aka. Cleansing of the sanctuary), so the heavenly Sanctuary is to be finally cleansed just before Jesus" return. As we read Act 3:19 " Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the time are refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (see also Rev. 3:5) one can see that even though one's sins are forgiven when they are confessed, there is still a future final blottingoutofsinsthattake place in the true sanctuary in heaven just as there was foreshadowed here on earth. Don't forget that the sanctuary and it services given to Moses in Mt. Sinai were to be the antitype (pattern Exodus 25:9) of the true services in . heaven above. Now, when we come to Jesus, confessing our sins to Him, we receive atonement for our past sins ( Romans 3:25; 5:11) {this atonement is in the sense of a perfect and complete sacrifice, not the completion of the Great Day of Atonement, just as the sinner in Leviticus received atonement and then had the final blotting cut of sins on the Great Day of Atonement.} So it is with us today, we also receive forgiveness (atonement), then we must have our sins blotted out during the cleansing of the sanctuary (part of the Great Day of Atonement), befor Jesus* return to claim us as His own. This is a special application to us today, since we are living in this cleansing of the sanctuary ( investigative judgement). We are recognize Jesus as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary, ( Hebrews 2:17; 9:11; Rev. 1:8-20). where He lives to make intercessions for us, and not only to forgive us, but to give us strength to help us in overcoming our besetting sins. Jesus provides this strength and power to is through the Holy Spirit, 2 Peter 1:3,4 this is how we become partakers of the Divine Nature. We must no longer make pro vision for the flesh. Romans 13; 14, but become conquers through Jesus word and strength. Romans 8:37 and Revelations 3:21 " To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my thrpne, even tho' I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." To believe that the Atonement was in all aspects completed on the cross forces one to believe in the" Once saved always saved" idea, because if the atonement is completely over with at the cross, all that onp can be forgiven (justification); one can never expire one can never experience sanctification, because that happens after one is forgiven and has decided to live the way that the Bible says that one should live, putting all sin away through the power of god! An aspect of the atonement that was completed on Calvary, not complete, atonement. The sacrifice was complete and perfect, but the sacrifice is only one part of the atonement according to the example given in the n t - Pembroke Kiwanis Report The monthly business meeting was held Tuesday evening at the Jade Garden Restaurant, President Brian Brooks presiding. The North and South Carolinas District has approved a with losing project to help the International Khyanis in a fund raising project.

I ' Along the Robeson Trail by Dr. Stanley Knick Director, UNCP Native American Resource Center Another important thing which would be helpful to know as we attempt to reconstruct the past concerns the balance between the Indian population and the capacity of the natural environment to sustain their kind of lifestyle. This question about balance is significant not only because it helps us envision the relationship between the Lumbee ancestors and the land on which they lived, but also because it may help us understand more about the nature of their Woodland culture itself. This question of balance brings us near the core of what we want to understand about the people of the past and how they lived. Most people in late twentieth century Americalive in a culture which 1 is vastly removed from the Woodland 1 culture of the Lumbee ancestors. Thus ^ we can only imagine, with the help of f evidence from other similar Indian 1 cultures, what their life would have 1 been. Imagine a village. This is your village. It is the village of your parents and grandparents, and of their grandparents. It is a life of balance Does this mean that no one ever gets hurt, has headaches, breaks a bone or hasabadday? Certainlynot. Butmost of the time there is a harmony in your existence. The Algonkian word is pimddaziwin, which means "the good life, the balanced life." [A possible reconstruction of an Eastern Siouan (Catawba/Cheraw) version of this concept is yawahracha karee, suggested by Wes Taukchiray.] Living pimddaziwin means that for every need something is supplied; for every illness there is a treatment. It is a balance cultivated by living in the same forest for thousands of years, so that every part of the forest is known and understood for its bounties and its dangers. It is a balance which implies that you and your people are parts of the forest, not separate from it. Here is a man who is your best lunter I le is the one who can always "md a deer or an elk in the forest. He .now s the best places to bunt because ic knows the animals best. I Ie knows o take only what he needs from the ribe of the animals, and because he knows this they give themselves to him when he is in need. He knows there was once a time when the animals could talk, and he has learned how to listen for them even now ? to see the places where they have been and know where they will go. He knows these things because his uncle knew them, and his grandfather before that. And when it is February (the Starving Moon) and all the other men in the village are having trouble finding enough meat to feed their families, the men know that because they arc living pimMaziwin they can go to his lodge and say: "Brother, it is time." And because he is living pimMaziwin with them,he says: "Yes, Iknow." And he leads them on a bunt, and meat is brought back, and everyone in the village gets a share. And balance is restored. In the next segment, we will continue to imagine pimMaziwin in our efforts to reconstruct the past.
