☀️ Colossians 1:1-8
1 - (From) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints (believers, Heb.11:40) and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you! And peace from God our Father!
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, when we pray for you, 4 because we’ve heard of your faith in Him. And we’ve heard of the love you have for all the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] 5 because of the hope [elpis - expectation] being laid up for you in heaven. Which you heard of before in the message of truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you.
And indeed in all the world the message is bearing fruit and increasing, as it also is doing among you in Colossae since the day you heard and understood it - understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved brother. He is a faithful servant and minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 and he has told us all about your love and affection in the Spirit.
🌙 Matthew 19:13-30
13 - Parents and grandparents were bringing children to Jesus, that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them.
The disciples were trying to send them away, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for it’s to them that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” 15 And he laid his hands on each one of them before they continued on.
16 Just then, a man came up, saying, “Good teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” {Be immortal, “put-on immortality”.}
17 Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? There’s only one who’s good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he asked. Jesus said, “Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, 19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
20 The young man said, “All these I’ve kept from birth. What do I lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have, and give to the poor. Then you’ll have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”
22 But when he heard this, the young man went away sad, for he had great wealth. {After the crucifixion, was the new, a “new and living way”. The Old Testament way of sacrifices for sin [hamartia - missing the mark (the conscience KNOWS!)] was a shadow (small scope version) of the one sacrifice strong enough to appease eveRy conscience, ultimately, not magically. — From old way to “new” because change from within works - by believing (entering, following) the Good News we will “inherit” and “put on perfection” thus “immortality” - God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy, a slow gehenna(burning up) “that doesn’t quit”. Life as we presently know it, is an unavoidable contrast running course. A ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm “that doesn’t quit”. The decomposing. The dis-ease as part of the cure. And immunity, Total Herd Immunity. Jesus is Lord. And “will draw all” Jn.12:32.}
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I tell you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 I tell you, it’s easier for a camel [kamélos] to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, and said, “Who then can be saved?” {If it’s hard for them, the privileged!}
26 Jesus told them, “With man himself, it’s impossible” {can’t be done, imperfect cannot make itself perfect} “but with God - nothing - is impossible.”
27 Peter said, “We’ve left everything and have followed you. What reward or treasure shall we have?” 28 Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, in the {time of the} regeneration [“palin(again)genesis” literal] when the Son of man sits on his throne [thronos - seat, throne] of glory, you will sit on twelve seats [thronos] judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands” {or lost friends, or even family} “for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause] will receive a hundredfold! And will inherit enduring [aionion - eonian, of the age] Life” {which is God Himself, His Spirit/Presence}. 30 “But many who are first will be last, and many who are last, will be first.”
