            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 4:7-13

7 - So what is so wonderful about you?! {Or any!} What do any of us have that we didn’t receive? And if we received it, why do we act as though we didn’t receive it? {There were still some miracles occurring, and any insights we receive, are just that, received.. A lucky shake of the heavenly dice.}

    8 Already, you, have attained all! You already have become the most richly blessed! Without us you have become kings! I wish you did reign, so we might share in the reigning with you! {They were being wheat still with its chaff.. Thinking of self as better etc.}

     9 Sometimes I think God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like being sentenced to death, for we’ve become a mockery to the world, to angels, and to all mankind.

     10 We are fools for Jesus’ sake, but you, you’re wise! We’re weak, but you’re strong! You’re held in honor, but we’re held in disrepute. 11 To this day we hunger and thirst, we’re poorly dressed. We’re beat about and homeless. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands, for our own support.

     When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure.

    13 When slandered, we encourage and comfort. Yet we’ve become {to the world} as garbage, and cast offs.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 13:28-37

[Jesus continues.] 28 - “Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as you see the branches become tender with buds, and put out leaves, you know soon summer is coming. 29 So too, when you see these things I’ve told you about taking place, know that your Lord is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I tell you, this generation/race [genea] will not pass away until all these things occur. 31 (This) Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

     32 But concerning that day, or what hour, no one knows. Not the angels in heaven. Not even the Son. But only the Father. 33 So be watching and on guard. For you don’t know the time of its coming.

     34 It’s like someone going on a long journey, when he leaves, he puts his hired servants in charge, each with their work, and commands the gate keeper to stay awake and watchful. 35 Therefore stay attentive, for you don’t know when the master of the house is returning - in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning - 36 lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you I say to all, stay awake and be watchful.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
