Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 11:11-19
11 - (Mark’s account.) And so Jesus entered Jerusalem and he went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went back to Bethany with the twelve.
12 On the following morning, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it wasn’t yet the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
15 When they came to Jerusalem, he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, inside the temple courts. And he turned over the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling pigeons. 16 And he wouldn’t allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And then as he was teaching the people, he said to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you’ve made it into a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it (the leaders) and they were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went back out of the city.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Galatians 3:8-15 ~
8 - The Scriptures long ago said God would accept the nations (gentiles) because of their faith. And this is why God told Abraham the good news that in him all nations would be blessed. 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, known as the man of faith. 10 The thing being, that all who rely on works of the law to be accepted, are under a curse, for it’s written, “Cursed be everyone who doesn’t abide by and do all that’s written in the Book of the Law.” 11 It’s evident no one is justified before God by the law, for it’s written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather it’s a way, as it’s written, that “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from that curse by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations, so that we might receive - the promised Spirit - through faith. 15 To give a human example - even with a man-made covenant/contract, no one annuls it, or adds to it, once it has been ratified. [And “faith” preceded The Law; Abraham was before Moses.] (The Law is societal preserving. Israel was “separated” to be swaddling cloths for Messiah, the “savior of the world”. But Life, the enduring Life, from God, is a gift. “The Seed Jesus” is planted in us, and God waters and feeds it to maturity - “we shall be like him”. Our part is to believe! To be yielded to His work in us. He, after all, has each one’s highest blueprint. Yet! It’s not about us. But about God. His Spirit/Presence and all that he is, and what he is creating.)

Humanity and creation will all be (full heartedly) sealed with God’s Spirit/Presence. This is logic, for is anything else possible? For surely(?) God is Life.
