GospeL Verses ~ John 12:9-19

9 - When a large crowd learned that Jesus was there (at the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha) they came to see him and also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10-11 Many had heard the story and were going away from following and trying to stay in favor with the leaders, and were instead following Jesus. So the leaders [chief priests] made plans to put Lazarus to death as well.

     12 The next day the people heard Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and they went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD, hosanna! King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it was written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion! Behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” [Zech.9:9]

     16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified (after his resurrection) they remembered the things written about him that had occurred. 17 Many had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, and they continued to tell about it. 18 This is why the crowd went out to meet him. (!A portrayal of His second coming? Zech.14:4, Acts 1:9; Mt. Zion is spiritual ..”seated in heavenly places” - it’s important to understand what’s metaphor and what’s literal, in order to understand God’s message to us. And that message is complete. Supplies all we need. And is more wonderful than any of us realize?) 19 The Pharisees said to one another, “You see what is happening? The world is going after him..”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Philippians 2:12-16 ~

12 - Therefore, my beloved, as you have always heeded the message, not only when I’m there but now when I’m not, continue earnestly for the target, 13 for it’s God who works in you! (Why squander it!) This is his delightful design he is energizing. [“For God is the (one) working in you both to will and to work according to (His) good pleasure” - a more traditional, literal interpretation.]

     14 Do all things without complaining and grumbling, or quarreling. 15 So that you will shine as innocent and blameless lights in the midst of a crooked and twisted world, 16 all while holding fast to the word of Life, so that in the day of Jesus our Lord, I may be happy knowing I did not run nor labor in vain.
