☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 1:1-9
1 - From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, 2 to Timothy, my beloved child in the Lord: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you in my prayers every day. 4 As I remember the tears we felt, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and now, I know dwells in you. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.
8 Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord! Nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel if need be, by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began.
🌙 P.M. John 18:28-40
28 - Then, when it was early morning, they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's palace and praetorian (court and guard quarters). They themselves didn’t enter, so they wouldn’t be considered contaminated, and could eat the Passover meal. {Which had noT yet occurred.} 29 So Pilate went outside to them, and he said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered, “If this man were not doing evil, we wouldn’t have brought him to you!”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
The Hebrew leaders said, “It’s not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die. [Jesus had said, “If I’m lifted up from the earth - signifying what his death would be” (the Romans crucified by lifting up on a pole or pole and beam, and if so) “I will draw all to me” Jn.12:32.]
33 So Pilate went back inside and called Jesus to him, and said, “Are you the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did you hear it from others?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom isn’t of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would fight, so I wouldn’t be delivered over to them. But my kingdom isn’t of the world.” {So why is there division among believers due to politics of “the world”?}
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say, I’m a king. For this purpose I was born. And for this purpose I’ve come into the world - to testify of the truth. Everyone who’s of the truth listens to what I say.” 38 Pilate said, “What is truth?”
After this, he went back outside, “I find no guilt in the man,” he said, 39 “but you have a custom that I should release one man for you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out, “Not this man! But, Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. [And had committed murder in a sedition, Lk.23:19.] [Mk.15:11 - the chief priests {leaders of the nation, much more political than religious/devoted}stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas.]
