☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 5:1-7
1 - So I urge the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ - as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed - 2 shepherd the flock of God that you’re among, exercising oversight, not as an unpleasant duty, but genuinely, as God would have it. And not for shameful gain, but with genuine interest and concern.
3 Not domineering over those in your charge! But as examples to the Lord’s flock. 4 And then when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. {Of Life, not metal.}
5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders, but all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another. For “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so at the proper time he may exalt you. 7 And cast all your cares upon him, because he cares for you.
π P.M. John 16:1-16
1 - “Behold” (listen) “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the meetings and groups. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think they’re offering service to God! [“A service to offer the god.”] 3 And they will do these things because they’ve not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I’ve said these things to you, so when the hour comes you’ll remember I told you of them.
I didn’t say these things to you before, because I was with you. 5 But now I’m going to he who sent me, and now none of you ask me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 But because I’ve said these things, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Yet, I tell you the truth, it’s to your advantage that I go away. Because if I don’t go away, the helper/sustainer won’t come to you.” {The born again breath of Life, the enabler, source of all blessing and glory.}
“Of which, if I go, I will send to you. 8 And when he” {the Shekinah} “comes, he will convince the world concerning sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and concerning righteousness and judgment. 9 Concerning sin, because they don’t believe in me, 10 concerning righteousness, because I’mp going to the Father, and you won’t see me any more. 11 Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When he comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth, for he won’t speak of himself, but whatever {there} is to hear, he will speak, and {the} things coming will declare to you. 14 He will honor and bestow glory upon me. And that which is mine, he will make known to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. That’s why I say he will reveal to you what is mine. 16 A little while now, and you won’t see me. Then a little while, and you’ll see me again.”
