           Mark 4:35-41

35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they left the crowd, and his disciples started across the lake with him in the boat. And some other boats were following along. 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water! 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown!” 39 Then Jesus stood up and commanded the wind to be quiet, and the waves to be still. The wind stopped blowing, and the sea became very calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why were you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who is this? That even the wind and waves obey?”

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

       ~ Hebrews 13:8-14 ~

8 Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from (anything else! nor) rules about food, which don’t even help those who follow them. 10 We (believers in Jesus as Messiah/Savior/Lord) have an altar from which the priests in the Tabernacle have no right to eat. (Concerning Old Covenant procedures for “cleansing the conscience”.) [From commentary - (paraphrased) - If you’re depending upon the law - following the rules - to be acceptable to God and Life (God being Life) you have no share in the atonement/acquittal.] (As rules and law is imposed from without which does not work to change the heart and character. But God’s Spirit/Presence within and his grace, aka, empowering energy and compassion/sympathy changes us from within. First step - accepting as real, the acquittal, our guilty conscience that makes us hold back, is convinced and appeased, and now we seek God by obeying his instructions.. through that same grace. “Your faith has made you whole.”)

     11 Under the old system, the high priest brought the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin. (Remember, even the consciences of the worst of the worst criminals, despots, etc. need to be appeased. The delicate human psyche, even the most innocent, knows itself to be “missing the mark” - translated merely as ‘sin’.) But the bodies of the animals, were completely burned outside the camp. [And unlike thank offerings and whole burnt offerings, were not allowed to be eaten by the priests (their support) nor by those who provided the offering, nor during national banquets on holy days called feasts.]

     12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, in order to make the people holy through giving his own blood. 13 So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. 14 Because here we have no lasting city - this world is not our permanent home - for we seek the city that is coming (Rev.21:1-7).  (🤔 His disgrace, he was slandered and labeled.. as a criminal.)
