☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 1:9-21
9 - For whoever lacks these qualities is nearsighted and blind, having forgotten that they were cleansed from the former things which dragged them down, captured them, and made them miserable.
10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined and diligent to confirm (lock in) your calling and election. For if you reflect these qualities you’ll not fall away. 11 And there’ll be an open entry provided for you. An {early} entrance into the enduring kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. {At his (full) return.}
12 Therefore I plan to always remind you of all this, even though you know the truth and are established in it. 13 I think is right, to stir you to a permanent remembrance of these things, as long as I am in this body. [When we rise to meet him, we rise in a new body] {likely with the same but higher/perfect dna?} 14 All the more, as I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, because our Lord Jesus has made clear to me. 15 So I make every effort, that after I’m absent, you may be able at any time to recall these things.
16 For it wasn‘t cleverly devised myths we were following, when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we were eyewitnesses of his majesty! 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father.
And we heard the voice that was borne to him by the kingly glory when it said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” 18 We heard this voice coming from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 And besides all that, we have the prophetic word fully confirmed (acted out before our eyes) to which we all do well to pay attention, as to a lamp giving its light in a dark place, until the day dawns! And the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is for someone's own interpretation. {It’s not about moi! Nor “all about me.”} 21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.
🌙 P.M. John 17:12-18:2
(Jesus praying aloud after supper on the evening of his arrest.) 12 - “While I was with them, I kept them in your name {in THE God Most High} [onoma - name, reputation, character, cause] which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost. Except the son of destruction [apóleia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition] that the Scripture be completed. {A son/child of perdition .. “all the world’s a stage” Shakespeare.}
13 “But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, so my joy may be in them. 14 I’ve given them your word [logos - message, speech, word(s), account, reason, reasoning expressed by words; from lego - a word, an expression of a thought] and ‘the world has hated’ them because they’re not “of the world” just as I’m not of the world.
15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world. But that you keep them from the evil. 16 They’re not of the world, just as I’m not “of the world”. 17 Sanctify [hagiazó - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] them in the Truth. Your word iS Truth.
18 For as you sent me into the world, so am I sending them. 19 And for their sake I sanctify/dedicate myself, that they also may be sanctified in {and dedicated to} truth. 20 I don’t ask for these only, but also for all who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so the world may believe you have sent me.
22 The glory that you have given me I’ve given to them. This is so they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so the world may know that you sent me and love them even as you love me.
24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known, so the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”
18:1 After this, Jesus went out with his disciples across Kidron brook, where there was a garden (grove of olive trees). 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
