Hebrews 6:1-6 Luke 2:21-38
☀️ A.M. Hebrews 6:1-6
1 - Therefore let us go on from the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God {stage one?} 2 and of the instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead, and of aiónios judgment. [Aiónios is the adjective of the noun, aion, root of eon, but translated eternal or forever.]
3 And move on, we shall do, if God allows. 4 For it’s nigh impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, have shared in the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 5 and have tasted the goodness of the message of God, and the powers of the coming age (“aion”) 6 and then have fallen away. It’s impossible - for us - to restore such a one again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God in their heart, and causing him to be ridiculed. {So if we’re teaching morality license, we’re working against God and his purposes.}
🌙 P.M. Luke 2:21-38
21 - And then on his eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the time came for their purification, according to the Law of Moses [after forty days] they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord at the temple, 23 as written in the Law of the LORD, it being written, “every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD”. 24 And so they offered a sacrifice according to the Law, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” {Parallel and patterned after HiS being the only begotten, only straight out from God, who is Life.. Genius.. Perfection, and is called and will forever be “the Firstborn (of) all Creation”.}
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit{Presence of God} that he wouldn’t see death until he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29 “LORD! Now you are letting your servant depart in peace! According to your word to me, 30 for my eyes have seen the salvation 31 you’ve prepared for all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the nations, and for glory to your people Israel!”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed. 35 A sword will pierce through your own soul, and the hearts of many will be revealed.”
36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the delivery and redemption [lýtron - full ransom-price] of Jerusalem.
