            ☀️Philippians 2:4-11

4 - Let each of you look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests of all the others. 5 Have this mind among you, which is yours in Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form [morphé - form, appearance, nature] of God, didn’t count equality with God a thing to reach for, 7 instead he emptied himself, and took the form of a servant. And being born in the likeness of man, 8 he fully humbled himself by becoming obedient, even to the point of death, even death on a (Roman) cross. {Sacrificed on the altar of empire.}

     9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed upon him the name that is above every other name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, all those in heaven {“no man has ascended” Jn.3:13} and all upon earth and all under earth [katachthonios - from kata - down, under, and chthōn - earth, ground] {he is ever mindful of all, even us should we lie buried.. or scattered} 11 for every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

            🌙 John 11:55-12:8

55 - Now the Passover was approaching, and many were going to Jerusalem to purify themselves and offer sacrifices beforehand. {Today it’s “offerings of praise and thanksgiving”. Lk.19:41,44 completed as Dan.12:11?}

     56 The people were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they were standing around in the temple, “What do you think? Will he show up at the feast?” 57 For the leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it to them, so they might arrest him.

     12:1 - It was six days before Passover, and Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. 2 So they gave a dinner for him there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. 3 Mary took a pound of some expensive ointment made from pure nard, and she was anointing the feet of Jesus and wiping his feet with her hair. And the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

     4 But Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, the one who was about to betray him {can’t trust a thief} said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and had charge of the moneybag {isn’t thAt usually the way}. And he used to help himself to what was put in.

     7 Jesus said to him, “Why are you bothering her? She’s doing it for the day of my burial. 8 The poor you have with you always, but you don’t always have me with you.”
