GospeL Verses ~ John 16:1-16

1 - “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.” (Because of this upcoming hard time and trauma. ..If the disciples are to be warned? Having seen and lived all that they did! Oh the potential, of how forgetful we humans can be!) 2 “They will put you out of the synagogues/churches/town halls, etc. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think they are doing a service to god. 3 And they will do these things because they don’t know the Father, nor me. 4 But I have said these things to you, so that when it occurs you will remember that I told you about it.

     I didn’t tell you these things earlier, because I was with you. 5 But now I’m going to he who sent me, and none of you asks, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I’ve now said these things, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the help(er) (God’s Spirit/Presence) won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convince [elégxō – properly, to convince with solid, compelling evidence, including to expose, prove wrong, and correct; (he will) convince] the world concerning sin (hamartia - missing the mark, wrongdoing) and concerning righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they don’t believe in me, 10 concerning righteousness, because I’m going to the Father, and you will no longer see me. 11 And concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. (The verdicts have all been handed down. Except one. Ro.3:4, if we read the right version. And so then and now the message of reconciliation goes out..) 12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able bear them now. 13 Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth, for he will not speak in part, but what he hears he will address, and the things coming he will make known to you. 14 He will glorify me, for the things concerning me, he will make known to you. 15 All the Father has is mine! So I say, he will take what is mine and will tell (explain) it to you. 16 In a little while, you will no longer see me. But after a little while, you will see me again.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 1 Peter 5:1-7 ~

1 - So I (Peter) encourage the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed, 2 shepherd the flock of God that is with you, not as an obligation, but with genuine care, as God does. And not for shameful gain! (Worldly or personal/ego gain.) But readily. 3 Not as domineering or overbearing, but as examples to them. 4 And then when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (Crown of life! Not metal.) 5 Likewise, you who are younger, hear and listen to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 Be humbled therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so in due time HE may raise/advance you. 7 And cast all your cares (questions) and worries upon him, because he (most genuinely) cares for you!
