            ☀️ A.M. James 2:1-8

1- My brethren (brothers and sisters) let there be no favoritism as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if someone wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your meeting, and a poor person in old clothing also comes in, 3 and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in this preferred seat,” while you say to the poor person, “Stand over there,” or, “Sit on the floor,” 4 have you not then made division and distinctions among yourselves and are judges with evil intent?

     5 Listen, my much loved ones, hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith? And heirs to the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?

     6 But you dishonor the poor one. And isn’t it the rich who oppress you, and drag you into court? 7 And who insult the honorable name by which we are called?

     8 If you really fulfill the Royal Law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor [plésion - any other person] as yourself” - then, you are doing well.

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:28-34

28 - Peter said to Jesus, “We’ve left everything to follow you!” 29 Jesus told him, “I tell you, truly, there’s no one who has left house or brothers, or sisters or mother, or father or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s sake, 30 who won’t receive a hundredfold now in this age, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and lands, but with persecutions [diógmos]. And in the age to come the enduring life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and many last, will be first.”

     32 They were on the road to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead, at a fast pace. And so those who were following were afraid. And once again he told the twelve what was going to happen.

     33 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and they’ll have him condemned to death and delivered over to the Gentiles (the nations, here Rome). 34 And they will mock him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. But after three days he will rise.”
