8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}

Hebrews 13:8-14  Mark 4:35-41

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 13:8-14

8 - Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Don’t be misled by different, new, and strange teachings, for what’s good for the heart is to be strengthened by grace - not by foods, what to eat and what not to eat, which doesn’t spiritually benefit those devoted to it. {Must have been a prevalent idea at the time, there’s always a few?} 10 We have an altar from which those who {still} serve in the tent have no right to partake. {“Serve in the tent” - in the wilderness temple, all such - temple, holy days - are a portrayal of spiritual reality. The “law of Moses” was a system of rules for preserving society and character. Imperfect is entropy. It cannot make itself perfect in order to stop the entropy ..It’s a slow gehenna crucible that “doesn’t quit”.}

     11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place, by the high priest, are a sacrifice for sin. {And cure! A way stroNg enough to convince and appease every psyche and conscience.} And the dead body is burned up outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate (of the city wall) in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp (outside societal acceptance and approval - I read that in a commentary) and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city (world, kingdom) but we seek (await) the one that is to come!

            🌙 P.M. MARK 4:35-41

35 - Later that day, when evening had come, he said to the twelve, “Let’s go across to the other side.” 36 So leaving the crowd, they set off, and other boats were following along.

     37 But soon a great windstorm arose. The waves were crashing against the boat. It was being tossed to and fro, and the waters were cresting over the side! The boat was taking on water! 38 And Jesus was asleep on the cushion that’s in the stern of the boat.

     So they woke him and said, “Teacher! Don’t you care that we’re perishing!?” 39 So he got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still.” Then the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said, “Why were you afraid? Have you no faith?”

     41 And they were filled with wonder. And said to one another, “Who is this?! That even the wind and waves obey..”
