☀️ Romans 3:24-31
3:24 - (Verse 23 - All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God) 24 justified [dikaioó - justified, declared righteous, acquitted] freely by his grace - as a gift [dórean - freely, without cost]. A gift, by his grace [charis - grace favor, kindness, blessing] through the redemption [apolutrósis - deliverance, redemption, no lein, paid in full, recovery] that’s in Christ Jesus. 25 The one God put forward as a propitiation [hilastérion - propitiation, atonement cover, mercy seat] by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness! Because in his divine forbearance he has “passed over” our missing the mark. [Mercy Seat of God.. a means of appeasement or atonement - I am convinced it’s the human conscience that needs to be appeased.. due to the trickily honest psyche.. "Mercy Seat" - Judge who pardons? - is the lid of the Ark of the Covenant where the high priest would sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice on the “Day” of Atonement. The sacrifice has to be such that it can appease eveRy conscience. Imperfect/“missing the mark” is an abyss of potential. Think even the worst of the very worst.]
26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 11:32 - “HE has subjected all to disobedience..” Ours to learn “why”.)
27 So then what becomes of our boasting? It’s done away with! By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we proclaim that one is justified by faith, apart from works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of the Jews (Hebrews) only? Is he not the God of Gentiles/the nations as well? Yes, of the nations also, 30 since God will justify the circumcised (followers of the Laws of Moses) by faith and the uncircumcised by faith as well. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? No! On the contrary, we uphold the law. {Summed up as love, genuine affection, concern, and respect.}
🌙 Matthew 8:1-17
8:1 - When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds were following him. 2 A leper came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will! You can make me clean!” 3 Jesus reached out his hand and touching him, said, “I will. Be clean.” The leprosy immediately disappeared, 4 and Jesus said, “Don’t tell anyone. {Spreading the news abroad.} But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a proof to them.”
5 When he was in Capernaum, a Roman centurion came and said to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “Lord, I’m not worth your having to come under my roof! Only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man with authority, I have soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those around him, “Truly, I tell you, no where in all Israel have I found such faith! 11 Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while sons and daughters of the kingdom will be outside the light, in darkness, where there’s weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Surely inner! And portrayed in both the rich man and Lazarus parable and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22. With gnashing of teeth progressing to weeping.. and beating self up with many stripes, because Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.}
13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go on home! You’ll find it done for you just as you’ve believed!” And the servant was healed at that very hour.
14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick with a fever, 15 so he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose up and began to prepare a meal for them. 16 And that evening they brought to the house many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our illnesses and carried our diseases.”
