            ☀️Philippians 2:4-11

4 - Let each of you look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests of all the others. 5 Have this mind among you, which is yours in Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form [morphé - form, appearance, nature] of God, didn’t count equality with God a thing to reach for, 7 instead he emptied himself, and took the form of a servant. And being born in the likeness of man, 8 he fully humbled himself by becoming obedient, even to the point of death, even death on a (Roman) cross. {Sacrificed on the altar of empire.}

     9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed upon him the name that is above every other name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, all those in heaven {“no man has ascended” Jn.3:13} and all upon earth and all under earth [katachthonios - from kata - down, under, and chthōn - earth, ground] {he is ever mindful of all, even us should we lie buried.. or scattered} 11 for every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

            🌙 John 11:55-12:8

55 - Now the Passover was approaching, and many were going to Jerusalem to purify themselves and offer sacrifices beforehand. {Today it’s “offerings of praise and thanksgiving”. Lk.19:41,44 completed as Dan.12:11?}

     56 The people were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they were standing around in the temple, “What do you think? Will he show up at the feast?” 57 For the leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it to them, so they might arrest him.

     12:1 - It was six days before Passover, and Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. 2 So they gave a dinner for him there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. 3 Mary took a pound of some expensive ointment made from pure nard, and she was anointing the feet of Jesus and wiping his feet with her hair. And the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

     4 But Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, the one who was about to betray him {can’t trust a thief} said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and had charge of the moneybag {isn’t thAt usually the way}. And he used to help himself to what was put in.

     7 Jesus said to him, “Why are you bothering her? She’s doing it for the day of my burial. 8 The poor you have with you always, but you don’t always have me with you.”

                (paraphrased)

1 - Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and her sister Martha, was ill. 2 It was Mary who later anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, your friend is ill!” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness doesn’t lead to death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

     5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 But, when he heard Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer where he was. 7 Then after two days said to the disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.” 8 The disciples said, “Rabbi, the leaders {those in seats of power they were keen to keep} were just now seeking to stone you! And are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, they won’t stumble, because there’s light to see by. 10 But if they walk in the night, they stumble, because they have no light, and the light isn’t in them.” 11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought he meant resting in sleep. 14 Then he told them plainly, “Lazarus has died. 15 And for your sake I’m glad I wasn’t there, so you may believe. Let’s go to him.” 16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to the rest, “Let us go too, that we may die with him.”

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 26:1-13

1 - When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days is Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to be crucified.”

     3 The chief priests and the elders (leaders) of the people were at that very moment gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4 and they were plotting together how to arrest Jesus by stealth and have him killed. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”

     [On the day of Passover the lamb was sacrificed and prepared, and the feast was after sunset, which begins the next day. The days beginning at sunset rather than at midnight. This commemorates the rescue of Israel out of a harsh slavery in Egypt. God, through Moses, instructed that blood from a lamb be painted (with a hyssop plant) upon the upper door posts and frames of their houses, as a seal against an angel of death that was passing over at midnight to take away all the firstborns of Egypt. It would “pass over” the painted house, doing no harm. Afterwards the Israelites had hastily departed Israel, as Pharaoh and the Egyptians had finally agreed and now insisted.]

     (..Death to God is not what it is to us. God sees all of time at once. And death is his taking out and transplanting elsewhere. There’s the two sections of his garden and harvest. The wild and wooley, which once or twice the getting was too wild, had gotten too wooley. Noxious weeds had fully overgrown. It was a choked to death garden.. the little plants.. trampled. .. Pull out the noxious bramble weeds.. make them to be seed, plant them in the soil of the other section, which is of newly turned soil..)

     6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany (the village where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived) and he was in the home of Simon who had been a leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive oil, and she poured it upon his head as he reclined at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they were grumbling, saying, “Why this waste? 9 This could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.”10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you. But you won’t always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on me, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I tell you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

     [John in his account says it was Judas who complained, not because he cared about the poor but because he was the one in charge of the money bag, and would take coins out for his own use.]

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ to, TITUS 3:8-15 ~

8 - These things are trustworthy, and I want you to strongly affirm them, so those who are believing in God may be devoted to helpful works. For these things are excellent and profitable. (Will keep order, peace, and fruitfulness.) 9 But avoid foolish controversies - genealogies, dissensions, quarrels about the law - for they are worthless and hinder. 10 As for a person who stirs up and causes division, after warning once, and then twice, have nothing more to do with that one, 11 perceiving that they are off course and missing the mark, and are self-condemned [autokatakrinó - from auto - self, and katakrinó - to give judgment against].

     12 When Artemas or Tychicus arrive, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to winter there. 13 Be sure to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos (a well known to the believers, teacher) on their way, and see that they lack nothing for their journey. 14 Let our people learn to be devoted to good works, so as to be helpful where it’s needed, and so shall we be fruitful.

     15 All who are with me send greetings to all of you who are in our mutual love in the faith.

       ..Grace be with you all.
