☀️ Ephesians 2:10-16
10 - For we are his creativity and creation, intended, in Christ Jesus, for good things! Which God predestined and prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
11 So remember that at one time you gentiles were unbelievers 12 and were separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenant [diathéké - covenant, testament, will] of promise, having no hope [elpis - expectation] and without God in the world! {One reason for Israel was to separate himself from “the gods” of the nations/gentiles; each city-state had their war god, etc.}
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were far off have been brought near! This by the blood {crucifixion/execution} of Christ. {Hoodwinked the adversary/accelerant/accuser/slanderer.}
14 He himself is our peace, who has made us one. He has broken down the wall of hostility that divides us, 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in laws and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new person, in place of the two. And so making peace, 16 by reconciling us both to God in one body, slaying the hostility by the cross. [Between Hebrew and Gentile (non Hebrew). “One flock.”] {Ultimately of course, full scope, all hostility.} [Hostility - echthra, fem of echthros - hatred, hostility, enmity.] {Surely hostility is Satanically inspired. But fills a void? Not that we need to laud despots, etc. Nor approve (or express disapproval?) of all things, “..friendship/agreement with the world is hostility toward God” James 4:4.}
🌙 John 10:7-21
7 - Again, Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, I’m the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep don’t listen to their voice.” {Which is masquerade. Like the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Talks a good talk, allures through smooth promises.}
9 “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, they will be saved” {from the end result of entropy/imperfection, and its cause, straying, being strayed, wandering lamb, lost sheep} “and they will go in and out” {will go about in freedom} “and find pasture” {green pastures, Ps.23}.
10 “The thief comes only to steal. And to kill and destroy. But I have come that they may have life! And have it abundantly! 11 I’m the - good - shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 But a hired hand, who isn’t a shepherd, and doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and runs away, leaving the sheep. And so the wolf scatters them, and will snatch from among them.” {One by one? As does untruth, and untrue doctrines.}
13 “He flees because he’s a hired hand and doesn’t care about the sheep. 14 But I’m the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me. 15 Just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I will lay down my life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep who aren’t of this fold. I will bring them also, and they’ll listen to my voice. And so there-will-be one flock, and one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority [exousia - authority, power, right, jurisdiction; from exesti, meaning "it is lawful"] to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
{Top ironclad natural law of life is God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect can never endure but fades away.. So Jesus, only straight out from God one, is the gift of God to us, and is enduring life. Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” humanity and all creation. Two options for creation? Total ant farm, or total ‘herd’ immunity? The dis-ease as part of the cure? Entropy as THE crucible ..which flares up into fiery judgments - earthly. The three mentions of lake of fire are at huGe fiery events.}
19 There was again a division among the people concerning him, because of this teaching. 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is crazy, why listen to him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of someone oppressed by a demon. And can a demon make the blind to see?”
