☀️ A.M. 1John 5:1-5
1 - Everyone believing Jesus is the Christ, has been “born of God”. And everyone loving God, loves those born of him as well! 2 And we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his instructions. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands (instructions). And his commands aren’t difficult. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And the victory that overcomes the world, is our faith.
5 Who is it who overcomes “the world” but the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God!
🌙 P.M. MARK 9:2-13
2 Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and they went up a high mountain. Soon he was transfigured before them, 3 his clothes were radiant and intensely white, like no one on earth could ever bleach them. 4 And there appeared Elijah and Moses talking with him. {From another dimension called the future?}
5 And Peter said, “Rabbi, it’s good we’re here! We’ll make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah!” 6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were overcome and didn’t know what to think. {And it was currenyly Tabernacles?}
7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and they heard a voice come out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Hear all he says.” 8 And then, all returned to normal, and they saw no one but Jesus. (“The” kingdom.) 9 And as they were coming back down the mountain, he charged them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to their selves, but they wondered what he meant by rising from the dead.
11 Rather than ask about that, they asked him, “Why do the scribes say Elijah must come first?” 12 And he answered, “Elijah does come first to restore all. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 And I tell you, Elijah has come, and they did to him as they pleased, as it’s written of him.”
